There are several cooking centers in Hanoi, but if you are looking for an authentic Hanoi cooking experience at a traditional home or a tour that is more personal, join us for a May Restaurant Cooking Class!
Welcome to our small-group cooking class in Hanoi, where we promise an unforgettable culinary adventure! Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel, and we’ll head out for a delightful stroll through a vibrant local market by walk. Here, you’ll get to immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere, interact with friendly vendors, and select the freshest ingredients for our cooking session.
What to Expect
Doing Hanoi cooking class with us, meet the sweet Hanoian ladies and the host as well will bring you home-cooking experience. This is a great way to learn how authentic Hanoi foods are made with diverse menu options.
Itinerary
Normally, the cooking class starts in the morning and it lasts 4 hours. For those who are willing to go to a local market, we start the tour at 8:30 am and we will guide you through the local market to buy ingredients for meal preparation.
Upon arrival in a cozy restaurant in the centre of Hanoi, you will be served local tea or water before the cooking class in the kitchen where you will feel a true Vietnamese atmosphere. Although it is a modest space, it won’t stop us from making a delicious meal. Cooking local dishes yourself is a combination of watching and doing. With the instructor’s patience and skills, you’ll be able to cook Hanoian food that tourists don’t usually get to taste.
The experience will last around 4 hours. You will be able to choose what Hanoi specialties you want to learn how to cook from our standard menu or if you want you can choose specific specialties and customize your meal!
After finishing your meal, we will enjoy dessert and and get gifts from the host.
At the conclusion of the cooking class, written recipes will be available for the dishes that we made so that you’re able to cook on your own in the future. Your experience will be unforgettable.
We have many menu options that you may choose from. Participants are allowed to choose 1 menu to cook for the class:
Now, let’s talk about the menu! We have a sample menu that features some of the most beloved Vietnamese dishes.
- Hanoi traditional beef soup or Chicken soup with rice noodle known as “Pho,”
- Grilled pork with herbs & fresh vermicelli (Bún chả) or La vong’s style grilled fish (Chả cá lã vọng)
- Hanoi deep fried spring rolls (Nem rán Hà Nội) or Green mango salad with squid & prawn (Nộm xoài hải sản)
For our vegetarian friends, we have an equally delightful Veg Lover Menu, which includes delectable options such as spring rolls (fresh or fried), tofu in a luscious tomato sauce, eggplant with ginger sauce, and a sweet treat called “Che,” a traditional Vietnamese dessert.
For a customized menu, just let us know what you would like to learn and our host will prepare for you.
