Guests say the experience begins with a friendly, English‑speaking host who leads a short market tour to select fresh, local ingredients. In a modest but comfortable space, participants enjoy hands‑on cooking, preparing generous portions of several Vietnamese dishes such as salads, pho and spring rolls. The small group feels casual and well organized, making it easy for beginners, and guests leave with a diploma and new confidence in local cooking techniques.
What to Expect
In this cooking class, you will not only learn how to cook traditional Vietnamese dishes but also get to visit the local wet market. After first choosing three dishes from the chef's suggestions, we will head to the market to select all the ingredients necessary for the dishes you chose. This will also be a chance to learn about Vietnamese ingredients and culinary culture.
Once back at the restaurant, the chef will guide you through cooking each dish. We will also prepare an egg coffee, a delicious Hanoi specialty. After everything is ready, we will all enjoy the dishes we cooked. If you are vegetarian or vegan, let us know and we will make sure your dishes meet the dietary restrictions.
