Full description
This is a 3.5-hour experience from Hanoi, built around Hoang's Vietnamese Restaurant & Cooking Class. Your place is held with the operator before we treat your booking as final.
Hanoi is a thousand years old and a French colonial capital and it is both at once: the Old Quarter's 36 streets each named for the guild that traded there, the lake of the returned sword at its heart, the Temple of Literature from 1070, the mausoleum where Ho Chi Minh lies in state (mornings only, closed Mondays and Fridays and for two months each autumn), and the tree-lined French quarter of villas and the Opera House. The Train Street cafes, where the railway runs a metre from the tables, open and close as the authorities change their minds. Egg coffee was invented here in 1946, bun cha is the lunch, and the water-puppet theatre by the lake is the evening. Hanoi is cool and grey from December to February and hot from May to September; October and November are the months.
The price covers Welcome drink, Guided visit to a local market, Tastings at the market, Cooking class and Ingredients for the cooking class. It does not cover Transportation, Tips and Additional drinks, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Hoang’s cooking class. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date before treating your booking as final. If the date cannot be confirmed we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Daisy was very helpful and instructions were clear and food delicious
I heart Daisy, she was amazing, patient and super kind. She took us to the market and was very informative and gracious. My son and I learned how to cook a few authentic amazing meals with Daisy & Chef Dragon. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, attentive staff and amazing food! It was truly a wonderful experience.

It was great ! Since I was the only one that booked in the morning. Pretty much had one on one with the guide and the chef. Daisy the guide took me around the markets. Bought the ingredients we needed to cook my chosen dishes. Chef Dragon and Daisy both demonstrated the cooking, very skilled. Learned how to cook Bun Cha, Banh Xeo, and beef Pho. Delicious.
Daisy was a great guide! I ended up with so much food at the end I couldn’t eat it all but it was so tasty! Daisy and the Chef were fantastic!
We had the pleasure of working with Chef Daisy for our experience! Daisy was such a great instructor—informative, kind and funny! Had a great experience at the local market, cooking and learning more about Vietnam! Would definitely recommend!
What a wonderful experience. My guide was great and the chef/dish teacher was brilliant. A fantastic insight into the food markets.
We did the local market tour and then the cooking class with Daisy and Chef Dragon. The tour was very informative and not too long, we got our ingredients for the class at the market. The cooking class was amazing and informative. They also catered to our vegetarian friend and we got to eat the food at the end that was so good!!! Would highly recommend to anyone :)
Daisy was a brilliant guide and Dragons was a great chef.
Daisy our guide was great. We were taken to the market to buy or supplies then she talked us through what to do with the chef who we propped and cooked with. Food was so simple but so tasty. It was just myself and my wife in the class so it was great. We then got to eat our creation. Great afternoon all round. Thanks Daisy!
Great activity to do in Hanoi. We made 3 dishes, great for beginners, and very tasty. Egg/coconut coffee included at the end.
My Daughter and I had the most amazing experience with Daisy. She has a beautiful soul and conversation, cooking and knowledge made for an unforgettable afternoon. The meals were out of this world. Could not recommend her more.
Great experience! Laura was a good guide and Long was such a good chef and teacher! I was very happy with the dishes I learned.
