Excellent day
Excellent and enjoyable day. We enjoyed each part of the day - the farm, the market, the cooking and the eating. Our lead chef was very friendly and knowledgeable. Beautiful surroundings to do the actual cooking class.

Absolutely recommended
I’d previously walked through the markets - somewhat quickly - but to be taken through with an experienced chef who stopped to explain the fruits, vegetables, seafood and meats was a totally different experience and I really enjoyed it. The cooking class was fabulous. I highly recommend it. I’ve come away feeling that I can go home and recreate the items we made as I’ve been given the right information and instruction. Very enjoyable and I’d happily choose Red Bridge again!

Fun Cooking School Hoi An
This is a fabulous and fun cooking school which we did 15 years ago and decided to repeat the experience as it was a memorable one. It’s great that it involves the market showing all the herbs & spices and the fun boat ride to the venue. It’s very well run and you learn a lot about Vietnamese cooking. Highly recommend!

Great Cooking Class.
Everyone prepared a different dish. We all got to watch and learn how to make each dish. After each dish was cooked, we all got to eat some of each dish. Do not eat a big breakfast or you will regret how full you will get. Really enjoyed shopping for, and tasting, each dish. Would highly recommend the class.

Yes, many providers offer a street‑food package that starts with a guided walk through the bustling Hoi An Central Market, where you’ll pick fresh ingredients, then head to the kitchen to assemble dishes like Miến lươn or seafood rice cakes.
Vegan options are common; chefs swap meat or fish with tofu, mushrooms, or tempeh, and use coconut milk or soy sauce instead of fish sauce, keeping the authentic taste while meeting dietary needs.

Shoes are typically removed before entering the kitchen for hygiene; be prepared for moderate heat and spiciness—though chefs can adjust spice levels for sensitive palates.
