Highlights

Nestled in a serene French villa, this hidden gem is more than a cooking class — it’s a cultural immersion where food, stories, and connection come together. Here, guests don’t just follow recipes; they step into the rhythm of authentic Vietnamese home cooking — hands-on, soulful, and deeply rooted in tradition. Led by passionate local hosts, you’ll craft beloved dishes like banana blossom salad, fragrant phở, and fresh spring rolls, finishing with a creamy coconut coffee enjoyed in a tranquil garden kitchen. Along the way, you’ll discover personal stories, local customs, and generations-old cooking secrets. The experience feels less like a class and more like cooking with family — warm, inviting, and full of laughter. It’s not just about learning to cook; it’s about tasting the spirit of Vietnam, one dish at a time.

About Hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, mixes lakeside temples, French colonial boulevards and an Old Quarter where street food and scooters fill every lane.

The Old Quarter's narrow streets, each once devoted to a single trade, sit just north of Hoan Kiem Lake, where the red Huc Bridge leads to the Temple of the Jade Mountain. Wander at dawn to see tai chi by the water, or after dark when the pavements fill with food stalls and low plastic stools.

Top-ranked sights in Hanoi: Ha Long Bay, Hanoi Old Quarter, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien).
