Hanoi Banh Mi Baking & Vietnamese Coffee Brewing Class

Hanoi (Free Old Quarter transfer included)

About

This Hanoi banh mi baking class starts with flour, not a ready-made roll. A local chef explains how French baking met Vietnamese ingredients, then you knead the dough, learn the baking basics and bake your own baguette. You build the sandwich yourself with pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, sauces and your choice of grilled pork, chicken or crispy tofu.

Next comes the coffee: you learn the traditional way to brew one of Hanoi's signature drinks, egg, salt or coconut coffee, and sit down to eat and drink what you made with your host and the group. The class is fully hands-on in a small kitchen and needs no experience. It suits food lovers, families and anyone who wants to take a Vietnamese recipe home.

Frequently asked questions

Can you cater for vegetarians, vegans or gluten-free diets?

Yes. Option 2 is vegetarian, with crispy tofu in place of meat, and vegan, gluten-free and other dietary needs can be arranged if you tell us when you book. Let us know about any food allergies at the same time.

How many coffees do I make?

One. You learn the traditional technique and brew one signature coffee of your choice: egg coffee, salt coffee or coconut coffee. If you would rather make six different coffees, look at our Hanoi coffee workshop at Local Beans Roastery instead.

Can I bring children or a baby?

Yes. Infant seats are available, and children can help knead the dough and build their own sandwich. Tell us their ages when you book so the chef can plan the class around them.

Can I come with my luggage before a flight or night bus?

Yes. You can leave your bags with us for up to two days at no cost, and showers are available before or after the class, subject to availability. That makes the class an easy way to fill the gap between hotel checkout and an evening departure.
