Meet your local guide and begin the evening with a refreshing herbal drink. Learn how Hoi An’s cuisine has been shaped over centuries by Vietnamese roots and foreign influences, creating a food culture found nowhere else in Vietnam.

1. Cao Lầu – A True Taste of Hoi An

Handcrafted noodles served with local greens, marinated pork, and crispy rice crackers. This signature dish is traditionally prepared using water from the ancient Ba Le well, making it uniquely tied to the town’s history.

2. Mini Bánh Xèo and Crispy Spring Rolls

Savor bite sized sizzling pancakes and crunchy spring rolls wrapped in fresh herbs. Dipped in lightly sweetened fish sauce, these dishes are interactive, fun to eat, and deeply satisfying.

3. Bánh Bèo Chén and Bánh Căn

Enjoy delicate steamed rice cakes topped with shrimp floss and fragrant scallion oil, alongside small charcoal grilled savory pancakes. Served inside a modest local home, guests sit on low stools just like locals do. Simple, intimate, and unforgettable.

4. Bánh Mì – Hoi An’s Iconic Sandwich

A perfectly baked baguette, crisp on the outside and soft inside, filled with pâté, cold cuts, pickled vegetables, and a signature house sauce. Served at one of the town’s most celebrated bakeries, this sandwich has earned international recognition for good reason.

5. Local Dessert by the River

End the food journey with a warm, comforting dessert such as sweet corn pudding or soft tofu topped with ginger syrup. Enjoy this final bite beside the river, surrounded by glowing lanterns and evening calm.

7:45 PM – Tour Ends by the Hoai River

Before saying goodbye, your guide will share suggestions for cafés, night activities, and scenic spots to enjoy after the tour. Guests also receive a complimentary Hoi An Foodie Map and a recipe card to recreate a traditional dish at home.
