Discover Vietnam’s Soul Through a Legendary Dish — In a Local Hidden Villa in Hanoi

Join a one-of-a-kind cooking class led by a local Culture Storyteller who goes beyond recipes to bring Vietnam’s culinary soul to life. You'll cook one legendary Vietnamese dish of your choice — from Pho to Banh Xeo — while learning the cultural stories, traditions, and regional flavors behind every ingredient. Set in a peaceful villa tucked away from Hanoi’s busy streets, this immersive workshop is perfect for food lovers, solo travelers, families, and culture seekers alike.

After cooking, enjoy your meal with a complimentary cup of authentic Vietnamese coffee — egg, coconut, salt, or drip. Every cup is as unforgettable as the experience itself.
