What to expect

Discover the authentic flavors of Northern Vietnam with our hands-on Bún Chả cooking class in Sapa. Guided by a local chef, you’ll learn step by step how to prepare this famous Hanoi dish made of grilled pork, fresh herbs, rice noodles, and a signature dipping sauce.

Your experience begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to local ingredients. You’ll practice traditional cooking techniques, from marinating and grilling pork over charcoal to balancing the sweet, sour, salty, and spicy notes of the dipping sauce. Along the way, you’ll also make refreshing side dishes like garlic-chili fish sauce and seasonal vegetables to enjoy with your meal.

At the end of the class, sit down together to taste your creation—paired with fresh herbs, rice noodles, and a cold drink. Whether you’re a passionate foodie or just curious to try something new, this experience is a perfect way to connect with Vietnamese culture and bring home a recipe you can cook again and again.
