If there’s one thing every traveller should experience in Vietnam, it’s the food. But instead of just eating it, why not learn how to make it yourself? At Quiri Hostel Hanoi, we invite you to dive hands-on into Vietnamese culture with our authentic Vietnamese cooking class—a flavour-packed adventure that starts with local ingredients and ends with new friends around the table.
Whether you’re a solo backpacker, a foodie on the hunt for deeper experiences, or just curious about what makes Vietnamese cuisine so special, this class is for you.

This isn’t a scripted tour or generic hotel activity. Our friendly, English-speaking local chefs will guide you through traditional recipes passed down through generations. Each dish comes with a story—where it comes from, why it matters, and how locals enjoy it at home.
Your journey begins with a trip to a traditional market near the Old Quarter. You’ll help hand-pick the ingredients for the class, learning about the herbs, spices, and staples that form the soul of Vietnamese cooking. This step alone is worth the experience—it brings you closer to Hanoi’s everyday life.
Our Vietnamese cooking class is not just about food, it’s about connection. Meet like-minded travellers staying at Quiri or nearby, share laughs in the kitchen, and work together to turn raw ingredients into delicious dishes. It’s relaxed, fun, and unforgettable.
After cooking, we all sit down together to enjoy a full meal made by you. From crispy spring rolls to rich and savoury pho or bun cha, you’ll get to taste the rewards of your effort. Vegetarian options are available too—just let us know in advance.
The dishes vary by season and ingredient availability, but some of our guest favourites include:
Fresh spring rolls with homemade dipping sauce
Bun Cha (grilled pork with noodles and herbs)
Pho (Vietnam’s iconic noodle soup)
Sweet Vietnamese dessert like chè or sticky rice
Everything is prepared from scratch, with real techniques and real ingredients—not pre-prepped or touristy shortcuts.
