Pick-Up & Stroll through the Ancient Town
Our food expert will pick you up at your hotel in Hoi An to begin your walking tour. We’ll stroll through the ancient town, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a famous trading port from the 15th and 16th centuries.

Stop 1: Grilled Pork Rice Paper Rolls
Our first stop is a local restaurant to taste and learn about Grilled Pork Rice Paper Rolls, a favorite in Central Vietnam. Your guide will show you how to properly assemble this delicious dish and teach you about its unique dipping sauce.

Stop 2: White Rose & Fried Wonton
Next, we’ll visit a lovely family-run business to enjoy two of Hoi An’s most popular dishes: White Rose Dumplings (Bánh vạc) and Fried Wonton (Hoành thánh). You’ll even get a chance to see how they are made!

Stop 3: Cao Lau Noodle
Continuing our Hoi An food tour by night, we’ll try Cao Lau Noodle. This regional specialty is known for its unique noodles, which get their characteristic texture and color from being soaked in lye water. It’s a dish that truly sets Hoi An apart.

Stop 4: Banh Mi
No Hoi An food tour is complete without trying the legendary Banh Mi. As a beloved national street food, it’s a must-try for any visitor. Even the late, great Anthony Bourdain visited Hoi An for a taste of this sandwich. You’ll bite into crispy bread filled with delicious meat and pickled papaya—a perfect blend of flavors and textures.

Stop 5: My Quang Noodle & Local Beer
Our final stop is for another regional favorite: My Quang Noodle. This dish combines wide rice noodles, meat, and fresh herbs with a small amount of broth. While you eat, you can enjoy a cold Larue Beer, a famous local brew. We’ll even teach you how to say “Cheers!” in Vietnamese: “Một, Hai, Ba, Dzo!”
