Where is the best place to eat snails in Ninh Binh?
Mountain snails in Ninh Binh are a famous specialty of the ancient capital region, beloved by many for their delicious and unique flavor.
What makes mountain snails in Ninh Binh special?
The mountain snails of Ninh Binh have a shape quite similar to apple snails, but slightly larger, about the size of two fingers. Their shells are milky white, with a wide opening. This makes them visually appealing and stimulates the taste buds of diners.
Mountain snails typically inhabit limestone caves, feeding on forest leaves and medicinal plants. Consequently, their meat has a fragrant, sweet taste, with a chewy texture, particularly infused with the aroma of medicinal herbs. Mountain snails are rich in protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, thus providing significant nutritional value, aiding in body nourishment, enhancing health, and preventing cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and diabetes.
Here are three famous mountain snail dining spots
Vu Bao Ninh Binh Restaurant - located at 37 Nguyen Hue Street, Nam Binh Ward.
Van Bao Ngoc Restaurant - located at 86 Luong Van Tuy Street, Tan Thanh Ward.
Zelda Restaurant - located at 10, Alley 18 Ngo Quyen Street, Son Ha Ward.
Mountain snails in Ninh Binh are only available seasonally from April to August each year. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to travel to Ninh Binh during the summer months, don't forget to enjoy this delicious mountain snail dish!
