Overview

You can read about Hanoi in books. You can admire it in pictures. But only when you taste it do you truly feel it.

We offer more than just a food tour. We invite you on a sensory journey through Hanoi’s soul, guided by locals who were born and raised in the city, who don’t just show you food, but help you connect with the stories behind it.

Your walk begins with freshly steamed bánh cuốn so soft it melts on your tongue, followed by a quiet moment on the breezy Long Bien Bridge. You’ll wander through Dong Xuan Market, then stop by a sizzling hot pan of grilled fish, rich with herbs and history. A crispy bánh mì in hand, followed by golden bánh xèo wrapped in herbs and dipped in perfect fish sauce, each bite will tell you: this is the Hanoi you’ve been searching for. We conclude with a delicate local dessert, a sweet and refreshing note to close a flavourful journey.

Our tours are small, slow, and personal. No rushing, no scripts, just great food, good company, and stories told through every bite. We don’t just take you out to eat. We bring you into Hanoi’s heart.

Just a quick note: the Extra Fees are 600,000 VND per person (around 24 USD), not including foods and drinks
