Hanoi Old Quarter and Cooking Class
In the morning, you will leave the Old Quarter and visit a local market where your chef will be waiting. Together, you will walk through the market stalls, seeing a wide range of fresh ingredients and seasonal produce used in Vietnamese cooking. From there, head to a riverside house to enjoy a warm cup of tea before beginning your cooking session. With guidance from your hosts, you will learn the techniques for preparing several traditional Vietnamese dishes while gaining insights into local food culture. Once your dishes are ready, sit down to enjoy the meal you have prepared and spend some time talking with your hosts before saying goodbye. The afternoon is free for you to explore Hanoi at your own pace. You can stroll through the streets, visit local shops, or pick up souvenirs to remember your visit. Hanoi offers a mix of historical sites, markets, and cafés that make it easy to enjoy the city even in a short time. This combination of a hands-on cooking experience and free time in the city provides a balanced way to experience local life, food, and culture during your stay.
