Hoi An’s modern food adventure with innovative chefs and hidden gems
This isn’t your typical food tour. You won’t be sampling the usual suspects like pho or banh mi — instead, you’ll dive into Hoi An’s modern culinary scene, where local chefs are rewriting the rules with bold, creative flavours. It’s all about uncovering a side of Hoi An that most travellers never get to experience. Hop in an electric car and wind through peaceful rice fields as you head to secret eateries, art-filled spaces, and even the home of a fermentation master. Along the way, you’ll meet the passionate locals who are redefining Vietnamese cuisine while keeping its soul intact. This is like a real-life episode of Anthony Bourdain – perfect for food lovers who want something a little deeper than just tasty bites. Best for curious travellers who love hidden gems, crave stories behind their food, and want to see how tradition and innovation can exist on the same plate. If you’re looking for something fresh, personal, and a little unexpected, this is it.What to ExpectTaste four creative, distinctly modern Vietnamese dishes and snacksVisit four unique spaces, from riverside cafés to private art galleries and home kitchensMeet revolutionary chefs, food artisans, and social entrepreneurs shaping Hoi An’s cultureGlide through lush rice paddies and quiet countryside in an eco-friendly electric carOptional tasting of homemade local alcohols for the adventurousGood to KnowThis is not a traditional food tour – you won’t be trying famous local staples like pho or cao lauCome hungry – portions are generous, and everything is made with care using local ingredientsThe experience lasts around 3 hours, including travel time between stopsEco-conscious experience — transport is via electric car and many locations support sustainability and social causesSome stops are in private homes and intimate spaces – please be respectful and curious!
