Vietnam Culinary Day Tour in Hoi An

Getting to know the food is also the great way of getting to know the country. Vietnamese food is healthy, simple to cook and delicious and forms a large part of the culture.

Suggested Daily Activity:

You start the day at 8.15am with a welcome drink at Hai Café in Hoi An Ancient Town. Visit Hoi An’s colourful market, and experience the amazing sights, sounds and aromas of this busy market. You will have the opportunity to interact with the local sellers and learn about all the ingredients to be used in the cooking lesson later.

You board a boat for a leisurely cruise (25 minutes) along the Hoi An River to the Cooking School. This is a chance to view local river life. On arrival, you explore the cooking school’s herb garden, before learning about some of Hoi An’s and Vietnam’s well-known dishes.

The cooking lesson runs for about 2 hours – the Red Bridge chefs first demonstrate each dish before you prepare the same dish yourselves. Included in the class is a brief introduction to Vietnamese food carving (plate decoration). After the lesson, you sit down and eat what you have cooked.

Bring your swimsuit because after the cooking tour has finished there is time to relax and enjoy a swim in the 20 metre swimming pool.
