Hanoi Coffee Workshop and Michelin-Star Meal at Tam Vi

Hanoi, Vietnam

About

This Hanoi coffee workshop and Tam Vi meal puts two of the city's daily pleasures into one outing. The first part is the coffee class at Local Beans Roastery in Ba Dinh: the story of coffee in Vietnam, the difference between Arabica and Robusta, and the phin filter, before you brew and taste six coffees yourself, from egg and salt coffee to a pour-over.

Your guide then takes you to Tam Vi, a restaurant with one Michelin star that cooks the food Hanoi families eat at home. The table shares one of two set menus of Northern dishes such as braised fish, caramelised pork with eggs and crab soup with Malabar spinach. It suits food and coffee lovers who want a real Hanoi meal without hunting for a table at one of the city's best-known restaurants.
