What better way to learn about Hanoi's street food than with a well-respected local chef. Departing at 4am might sound extreme, but trust us, you'll see a side of Hanoi, without the tourist crowds, that can't be experienced at any other time. Remember to pack your camera because there are few places as photogenic as a Hanoi market in the wee hours.

What To Expect

Hanoi

If you want to see Hanoi's food scene at its best, you'll need to get up at the crack of dawn when the markets explode into a riot of colour and activity. During our early morning Hanoi food tour, you'll leave the tourist trail behind and jump head first into four different food markets with our Hanoi chef (the same chef that showed Hanoi's culinary delights to Gordon Ramsay). Learn about the history, culture and ingredients that go into this distinct cuisine and try dishes at spots you'd simply never find alone. The tour includes all food and drinks, plus a private pick up and drop off by taxi from your hotel, accommodation or Airbnb.

Amazing Unique Tour of Wholesale Food Market World!!

WOW. This is the most unique food tour we have ever been on. If you and your friends have a passion for how all the delicious Vietnamese foods end up on the many food carts, restaurants and ultimately in your bellies, this tour is for you. To begin, Chef Duyen took us to the Cho Long Bien night market. The tour starts up at 4AM, when you can get the sense of madness as all of Vietnam/Hanoi converges here as whole-sellers and commercial buyers meet up to strike up deals. Chef Duyen picked out choice samples of ingredients that are unique and in season to nibble on. She explains how the entire seller/buyer system works, her many years of experience in the wholesale market and how it influenced her as a chef. Chef Duyen then takes us to some hidden food cart vendors way outside of Old Quarters where "the locals dine". From sticky rice balls to local's favorite Vietnamese egg coffee, chef leads us to places that are aren't frequented by travelers. We end up dining at Chef Duyen's cooking classroom/dining room with all of the foods, where we all were able to share a bit of our lives with her in a short period of time. It was a perfect end to an amazing tour. I recommend you book this tour in the middle of your Hanoi stay so you can rest up from your jetlag and before you spend your crazy late nights drinking and dining. If you are easily sickened by sites and smells, this tour is not for you.
