Local Market Tour & Cooking Class at French Villa in Hanoi

One of the most interesting things when travelling to a new land is enjoying its culinary. Our cooking class provides an immersive experience in Vietnamese traditional cooking and culture. The sounds, sights, smells and tastes found in a typical Viet market are emblematic of daily life here, shaping the contours of Vietnamese cuisine. You will be a contributor to maximize your own experience when communicating with the locals in Vietnamese under Rose’s assistance. Our local house then is very promising for you to slacken your furious pace of life. It is an immeasurable experience to enjoy freshness and quietness in our green garden while we are sharing common spiritual values through Rose’s cultural stories and tales. And our cooking is ready afterward!

This exciting program is the ideal way to enjoy an authentic cultural and culinary experience. It’s also perfect for the serious home cooks who want to learn how to cook Vietnamese healthy food for their family and friends, for spouses accompanying husband or wife on a business trip, or the adventurous travellers wishing to explore more than just the sightseeing of our great city!
