Description

Begin your day by diving into Vietnam’s rich and creative coffee culture.

Learn about the history of coffee in Vietnam and around the world, different types of coffee beans, green beans, and roasting processes, how to recognize authentic, high-quality coffee and avoid counterfeit or low-quality products, and essential brewing techniques to create a perfect cup. This is a fully hands-on experience where you will make and taste six iconic Vietnamese coffee styles, including Vietnamese salt coffee, Vietnamese egg coffee, original Vietnamese brown coffee, coconut coffee, pour-over coffee, and signature coffee cocktails made with local ingredients such as local wine. Enjoy your hand-crafted coffee in a relaxing, stylish setting while exchanging stories and cultural insights with your hosts.

Discover how a crispy baguette is transformed into a perfect balance of flavors with pickled vegetables, savory meats or tofu, fresh herbs, and signature sauces that combine sweet, salty, sour, and spicy notes. Knead dough and prepare pickled vegetables from scratch, learn how to marinate and cook proteins such as grilled pork or chicken, and make traditional Vietnamese sauces that give bánh mì its unforgettable taste. The class is guided step by step, making it suitable for all skill levels. When your creations are ready, sit down with your hosts and fellow travelers to enjoy a meal that reflects Hanoi itself — bold, balanced, and full of character.
