Bake bánh mì & sip coffee like a local in this tasty Hanoi culture dive
If you love food and want to get under the skin of Vietnamese culture, this is hands down one of the best ways to do it. In just 4.5 hours, you’ll go beyond just tasting Hanoi’s famous bánh mì—you’ll understand how it came to be, bake your own baguette from scratch (yes, really!), and enjoy this iconic dish the way locals do. It’s part history lesson, part hands-on cooking class, and part unforgettable meal shared with your local host and fellow travellers.What makes this experience special is that it goes deeper than just learning to “make a sandwich”. You’ll learn how French colonial history shaped Vietnam’s most beloved street food, discover the secret to perfect pickled veggies, and handcraft sauces packed with flavour. It’s immersive, and way more rewarding than just eating one from a food stall (though that’s fun too). And unlike most cooking classes, you’ll also learn how to brew your own egg, coconut, or salted coffee—right from the source, in a city known for inventing them.If you're the kind of person who chooses experiences over souvenirs, and loves staying connected to the places you visit through food and stories—this is four hours very well spent. By the end of it, you won’t just take home recipes... you’ll take home a piece of Hanoi.What to ExpectHands-on bánh mì class: knead dough, bake the baguette, and layer fillings just how you like itUncover the fascinating French-Vietnamese backstory behind the humble bánh mìChoose your filling—lemongrass pork, chicken, or tofu—plus zingy pickles and house-made saucesVietnamese coffee workshop: make (and sip) egg, coconut, or salted coffee like a true localDine with your hosts and fellow travellers, sharing stories and freshly made dishesTake home digital recipes, a cooking certificate (on request), and skills to wow your friends back homeGood to KnowNo cooking experience needed—just bring an appetite and your curiosityVegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available—just let the host know in advanceGuests aged over 80 and those with disabilities receive 50% off—get in touch to applyLuggage storage (up to 2 days) and optional use of showers provided at no extra charge
