About this tour
A 4-hour Vietnamese cooking class that starts with a local market tour, then moves to the kitchen where you'll prepare three classic dishes under chef guidance. You'll master traditional techniques using fresh ingredients sourced that morning, then finish with a hands-on egg coffee session where you'll learn to brew and pour like a local. Small group sizes mean personal attention, and the menu flexes for vegetarian, halal, vegan, and allergy requirements.

What to expect
You'll start by walking through a Vietnamese market with your chef, learning how locals choose vegetables, herbs, and proteins for the day's menu. Back in the kitchen, you get your own station. The chef demonstrates each dish step-by-step—whether that's pho, banh mi, or spring rolls—then you replicate it, with hands-on support. Expect to taste as you go. Once the savoury courses are done, you'll move to the coffee station to learn the technique behind egg coffee, a Hanoi specialty, and try your hand at pouring the signature creamy layer. The whole experience is unhurried and designed for genuine learning, not theatre.
