What To Expect
Hanoi
Our lunchtime food tour invites guests on a culinary experience around Hanoi. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of professional food guides. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, & the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian diets sorry, as there would be 4-5 less tastings. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal and celiac diets, due to the risk of traces & cross-contamination.

Hanoi
We'll meet at the historic Old Quarter, navigating through street food vendors, decades-old eateries and family-owned recipes that have been passed down generations. We'll crunch on crispy handmade pillow cakes, translucent tapioca dumplings, and caramelized pork belly. We can't miss a Hanoian classic -Chả Cá Lã Vọng, a turmeric-spiked fish dish with dill at a century-old original joint, before a steamy hot bowl of pho at a Michelin-rated eatery. Next up, bánh cuon rice rolls are rolled expertly over the griddle, and later grilled bun cha pork patties are doused over stringy vermicelli noodles and fresh herbs, whilst young green rice flakes are bundled over banana leaves, washed down with dracontomelon juice. There's many more surprises amongst 15+ tastings over the course of 7-8 stops of our moveable feast.

5.00Our three-generation family (ages 81 down to 3) had an absolutely amazing experience. Our guide, Lily, was amazing. She led us on a leisurely, comfortably paced walk that was enjoyable for all ages and abilities. She expertly navigated us through the chaotic, vibrant Old Quarter to unforgettable hidden gems. Some of the highlights… · The smoky alley serving legendary bún chả. · Fascinating stories about the food's history and the vendors themselves. · The authentic experience of eating on tiny street-side stools. · Climbing the narrow stairs to taste the iconic egg coffee. I love this tour. Highly recommended. Just heed their advice: come hungry.
There are food tours. And then there's A Chef's Tour.

5.00My go-to in any new country is a food tour for the ultimate cultural orientation. After a brilliant experience with Chef's Tour in Thailand, my expectations were high for their Hanoi food tour and I was not disappointed. This isn't just a tasting menu; it's a well curated journey to unique, well-researched hidden gems you'd simply never find on your own. Our guide, Lily, was knowledgeable and warm it felt like being shown around by a friend. Her insights transformed good food into an unforgettable understanding of Vietnamese food culture If you want to experience a city through its true culinary heart, book this one.
