The evening food tour invites guests on a culinary experience around Hoi An. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by the team of professional food guides.
Before we get started, the tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed:
- Unsuitable for vegetarian diets sorry, as there would be 3-4 less tastings.
- Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal and celiac diets, due to the risk of traces and cross-contamination.

Hoi An
Discover another side to Hoi An’s heritage in a curated food adventure like no other.
We begin with a steaming bowl of cao làu noodles, hand-cut from the original family house using water hauled that morning from the millennia-old Bà Lê well. This movable feast is just getting started, with 15+ tastings in all - from smoky marinated meat skewers to shredded com gà chicken with fragrant rice.
Tucked away is an alleyway joint serving black sesame xí mà soup for over 70 years, made of the same secret recipe as the centenarian couple that invented it. Next we’ll venture to the market to find stalls discovered by Anthony Bourdain, where the tapioca shrimp dumplings hail from the royal court kitchens of Huế.

Hoi An
The culinary odyssey takes us to the nearby island village of Tra Que, for an exclusive invite from an organic farmer to the 400 year-old community. There’s a hands-on experience to fire-grill rice paper and pluck fresh herbs, before gorging on a farm-to-table feast: claypot braised eggplant, sizzling bánh xèo pancake, and “three friends” spring onion rolls, among more delicious surprises.

Hoi An
Back in town, we’ll learn how the same family has been delicately wrapping Hoi An’s white rose dumplings for over 100 years, tossing the chopsticks over this one-of-a-kind dish.
Get ready to explore the real foodie scene tourists don't know and you'd struggle to find alone. Come hungry - the passionate guides are your ultimate hosts to Hoi An’s melting pot of Vietnamese cuisine.
