Cooking Class in Hue Vietnam: An Exciting Hands-On Experience

Overview Tour

Discover the flavours, traditions and stories of Hue through a hands-on cooking experience at Madam Thu Restaurant. This three-hour Cooking Class in Hue Vietnam offers a relaxed and enjoyable way to explore the city’s distinctive cuisine while cooking alongside a friendly local chef. More than simply following recipes, you will gain an authentic insight into the ingredients, cooking methods and food traditions that have been passed down through generations.

During the Cooking Class in Hue Vietnam, you will prepare three traditional dishes: Bun Bo Hue (Hue-style beef noodle soup), Banh Nam (steamed flat rice dumplings) and Nem Ran (fried spring rolls). Your chef will guide you through each recipe step by step, from preparing and seasoning the ingredients to cooking and plating the finished dishes. Along the way, you will learn practical cooking techniques, hear the cultural stories behind each recipe and discover how local families prepare these dishes in their everyday lives.

With a small-group setting, personal guidance and authentic local recipes, the experience is ideal for solo travellers, couples, families and groups of friends. No previous cooking experience is required, as the class is friendly, interactive and suitable for all skill levels.

Once the cooking is finished, sit down in the welcoming atmosphere of Madam Thu Restaurant and enjoy the meal you have prepared. Cooking alongside local people allows you to experience Hue beyond its famous attractions and gain a deeper understanding of the city’s everyday food culture.

We can accommodate a range of dietary requirements and food preferences. Please let us know about any allergies or special requests when booking so that we can prepare a suitable menu for you.
