Local Market Exploration & Cooking Class In Hoi An

Experience Hoi An’s culinary soul by starting where every great local meal begins — at the market. Follow your local chef through the bustling aisles of a traditional wet market, where the scent of fresh herbs and the sounds of daily life fill the air. Learn how to choose the best cuts of meat, seasonal vegetables, and essential spices just like a Hoi An native.

Then, head to a tranquil cooking space — often a charming garden kitchen or riverside home — where you’ll roll up your sleeves and prepare classic dishes from scratch. Under the chef’s guidance, you’ll chop, stir, marinate, and plate local favorites like Mì Quảng, Bánh Xèo, or fresh spring rolls. The class is hands-on, fun, and full of laughter, with stories behind every recipe.

You’ll not only leave with a full stomach and new skills, but also a deeper appreciation for the heart behind Vietnamese cooking — from farm to market to table.
