Hands-On Pho & Brew Coffee Like a Local in a Secret Garden Villa
Cook in spacious garden villas filled with lush courtyards and greenery. Guided by cultural storytellers trained under Sofitel Metropole’s former Head Chef, you’ll not only master authentic Vietnamese dishes but also uncover the traditions, stories, and daily rhythms behind them. With 5-star facilities and an intimate setting, this is a premium yet soulful journey into Hanoi’s culinary heritage.
What to expect
Step into a hidden garden villa near Hanoi’s Old Quarter and discover the heart of Vietnamese cuisine. Guided by a local cultural storyteller, you’ll prepare an authentic bowl of Phở (beef or chicken) from scratch—simmering broth, fresh herbs, and traditional recipes. Along the way, hear personal stories and local traditions that bring this beloved dish to life.
After enjoying your homemade Phở, continue your journey into Vietnam’s rich coffee culture. With the guidance of a coffee expert, you’ll hand-brew and taste your choice of signature styles—Egg, Coconut, Salt, Nâu/Đen, or Bạc Xỉu. More than just cooking, this experience is a meaningful taste of Vietnamese culture to remember and treasure.
