Itinerary
We will take you to enjoy Com hen, which is a rice dish with rural ingredients like baby mussels (hen) and fresh herbs combined through a sophisticated process. The mussels are boiled to create the broth adding sweetness and depth to the rice.
You will enjoy 3 traditional cakes 1. Beo Cake`s Hue is a rice flour cake that is placed into an aluminum blister or a small cupand then steamed. It usually has a dimple in the middle that is covered with a savory mixture that includes fresh shrimp, mung beans, and fried shallots 2. Bánh bột lọc” is one of the most popular cakes of Hue. The cake will be steamed, after well cooked remove the leaf to eat. The dough is so transparent that you can see the shrimp filling inside. The other don’t have a leaf cover but simply dumped, then put on a plate, enhance the flavor with fried onions. This cake must be served with a sweet sour fish sauce. 3. Nam cake (steamed shrimp rice cake) is made of rice flour, shrimp, wrapped in phrynium leaves and served with fish sauce.
Next you will move to another side of city to try Bánh Khoái, which is (Vietnamese pancake) in Hue, is delicious thanks to the secret of mixing flour and broth made from more than 10 spices to create a thick sauce.
Walk along the Huong river, cross the most famous Truong Tien bridge in Hue, then you will enjoy Bún bò Huế which is is a Vietnamese cusine. It’s a rich and spicy soup with deep layers of flavor. This Central Vietnamese soup is paired with tender slices of beef and pork, then topped with lots of fresh herbs.
After Bun Bo Hue, we will take you try the most unique bread in Viet Nam called Banh Mi, which is a Vietnamese sandwich that’s made up of an odd sounding combination – crusty bread rolls smeared with pate, mayo, suspicious looking Asian ham, pickled vegetables, green onion, coriander/cilantro, a mighty wack of fresh chillies and drizzle of seasoning.
You will end the tour with Hue sweet soup, so-called “Che Hue”, is a popular Vietnamese street food. It can be either a dessert or a mid-day snack. Che Hue is probably the most famous in the country. Like any dish from Hue, Che Hue is delicious, sophisticated, and subtle.

We did this tour and I cant recommend enough. Hue is famous for its cuisine and so we booked this tour to get to know some of the dishes and tastes. Our guide Thanh was absolutely brilliant, she had picked 6 different food places, all off the beaten track and we got to eat some delicious food thst we would never have experienced without her. And she was so knowledgeable and proud of Hue's cuisine. All done with a smile and with pure enthusiasm and passion. Thanks Thanh.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable food tour with Thanh. She'll be delighted to know that you enjoyed the carefully selected local eateries and had the chance to discover authentic Hue dishes that are often missed by visitors. Your kind words about her knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm for Hue's culinary heritage truly mean a lot. Thank you again for choosing to explore Hue's food culture with us. We hope to welcome you back for another delicious adventure in the future!
This tour with Beem was a success, I arrived in Hue in the afternoon and this tour allowed me to not only discover exquisite Vietnamese dishes but the city center at night. Beem is a great guide that explains not only the dishes but also traditions and customs of Vietnamese culture. It was a luxury to be able to go with her to restaurants where you only see local people and that otherwise I could never have been lucky enough to discover. Doing this tour with Beem was not only a great culinary experience, but it was a lot of fun, Beem is a charm and perfectly combines the gastronomic tour with having a good time. In addition, Beem was available even though I took the tour a few hours in advance. I can only recommend it, doing this tour was one of the best activities I have done while in Vietnam.

Para nosotros es muy importante poder ofrecer experiencias auténticas, y nos encanta saber que pudiste visitar lugares locales que de otra manera serían difíciles de encontrar. Beem estará muy feliz de leer tus palabras — le apasiona compartir la cultura, las tradiciones y la comida vietnamita con nuestros visitantes. También agradecemos mucho que menciones su disponibilidad, incluso con una reserva de última hora. Esperamos poder darte la bienvenida nuevamente en el futuro. ¡Un saludo muy cordial!
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Hue. Bem is a fantastic guide who feels more like a knowledgeable friend. She introduced us to multi-generational kitchens—places with 50+ years of history—that we never would have found on our own. Beyond the incredible food, her kindness stood out; she was so attentive to our safety and dietary needs. We walked away with full bellies and a deep appreciation for Hue’s food culture. Highly, highly recommended!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I’m truly happy to hear that the tour was a highlight of your time in Hue. Sharing those multi-generational kitchens and Hue’s food stories with you was a real pleasure. I’m glad you felt comfortable and well taken care of. Wishing you many more delicious memories on your travels!
It was a pleasant night walking around the heart of Hue’s street food joints. Our tour guide, Bem, was the “architect” of our food adventure. Although there were only two of us, it felt like a full group tour — and it was excellent! The small size made it even more personal, and Bem was truly the one who made it amazing. She was so knowledgeable about both the food and the city, introducing us to authentic local flavors while sharing fascinating culture and history. Begin with a flavor and tasty "Salt Coffee" the unique part of Hue' local culture. Hue people create it by using their locally produced salt turning a simple ingredient into a famous name drink for the city. After enjoying salty coffee we continued our stroll to try a combo of Hue specialties such as banh beo-banh nam-banh bot loc and more. We also learned how each of them to pairs with different type of fish sauce." then next to next another food joints. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Hue, and we will definitely come back again in the future!

An excellent and delicious tour! Bem was my guide and her English was excellent. She taught me not only about the food but about the history and culture of Hue. We stopped at a variety of different restaurants and (even though I’ve been in Vietnam for 3 weeks) all the food we tried was new to me and special to Hue. Great value for money. Bem explained to me that she trains and hires woman guides to help empower this community. I highly recommend you take this tour!

So much laughter and fun, Bem meet us on time at the hotel, we were immediately out on the streets and alley ways of Hue. We dinesd like locals sitting on the street or in the restaurant sampling a local specialty.. we heard not only stories of Vietnam but the dishes and what made them special. As a local Bem knower the shop owners. At the coffee shop where salt coffee was invented. She was greeted with smiles and a hug because she had been out of town for a while. The visit to the coffee shop would have been worth the price of admission the salt coffee was absolutely delicious and I had the Vietnamese coffee over ice Which I loved! Don’t miss the crab soup oh my goodness that was delicious! At the end of our tour, Bem walked us a good ways out of her way to get us to the meeting point for our dragon boat! What a wonderful experience, at the end, we felt like we were saying goodbye to an old friend!
Dear Frank, Reading your words truly warmed my heart—thank you so much! I had such a wonderful time showing you around Hue, sharing stories, and introducing you to my favorite local dishes. Seeing you enjoy the salt coffee, crab soup, and all the little hidden spots made me so happy. I’m grateful for the laughter and friendship we shared during the tour. Walking with you felt less like guiding guests and more like spending time with old friends. I hope Hue will always bring back sweet memories for you, and I would love to welcome you again whenever you return. Until then, please take care and keep a little piece of Hue with you. With love, Bem 🌸
