A Complete Sensory Cycle: It is a well-thought-out itinerary that balances activity and rest. You engage your mind learning about organic farming, soothe your body with a traditional herbal foot bath, and satisfy your palate through cooking. True Farm-to-Table Connection: The herbs and ingredients you touch, smell, and learn about in the garden are the exact ones you will use at your cooking station. You get to see the direct link between raw agriculture and iconic local flavors. The Wellness Element: Inserting a foot reflexology session between the farm walk and the cooking class is a thoughtful touch. It transforms a standard culinary class into a rejuvenating countryside retreat, relieving the physical fatigue of traveling. Instead of just offering a cooking class or a spa treatment separately, this tour provides a miniature slice of local life—showing how Vietnamese culture uses the backyard garden for both daily nourishment and natural healing.

My wife, 11 yo son & I had an amazing experience with a tour around the vegetable farm then onto the kitchen to learn how to make a few favorite Vietnamese meals and finally eating what we made (which was delicious. The twin sisters were fantastic and treated us like family. We had a ball and would highly recommend the experience
It was a beautiful experience, cooking class, tour through the fields, foot massage. We were there as a family of 6 and we were welcomed very warmly. A very nice family. We can only recommend it.
Fabulous food at Tra Que Basil Restaurant on our return visit. We joined the cooking class last year and loved it and returned this year for dinner and to see Van. The food is so fresh, tastes beautiful and the restaurant is lovely with a wonderful selection of traditional meals. We loved coming back and Van and her family have a wonderful Restaurant and cooking school for everyone to enjoy. Thanks so much for your wonderful hospitality 🤩🙏🥂
Did a cooking class here, and it was the most wonderful experience. They were so kind and the food was delicious. Van speaks very good English and communicates very good. Chef Thong guided the cooking very good. They are very nice. Definitely worth a stop 100% recommend.
Amazing cooking experience including delicious passion fruit juice on arrival, walk to the herb and vegetable garden (and helping plant some seedlings), preparing and cooking the most delicious spring rolls and other prawn dish. We then enjoyed all our food along with some delicious chef prepared turmeric chicken and morning glory topped off with banana pancakes!!! What an absolute treat with the best chef Thom and wonderful guide Bau (really hope I’ve spelt correctly). Thank you so much for sharing your time with us. We loved it 10/10
Great experience with my wife Tania. Firstly, seeing and getting involved in the family vegetable garden then having a cooking class learning how to cook spring rolls and pancakes. Also enjoyed a delicious chicken dish and ice cream.
Our group of 6 ( 19-60+ yo) went on a vegetable gardening tour and cooking class here. We saw and had a chance to use the traditional tools in the quaint vegetable gardens then went back to Basil Restaurant for our cooking class. One of our group is vegan and dishes were adjusted for her. We made crispy spring rolls, and the local specialty rice pancakes. All ingredients were explained and we are confident to be able to recreate at home! More dishes made by chef were offered after we ate our own creations. This tour is a must, go on an empty stomach!
Dear our valued customer! We sincerely appreciate your positive feedback. It was our pleasure to serve you, and we’re glad to know you were satisfied. Thank you for choosing us! And can't wait to welcome back you family! With love and care !
The experience at Tra Que Basil Restaurant was fantastic! We loved learning about how the family have farmed there for generations, then it was so much fun having a cooking class with super fresh produce, and sitting down to eat a delicious meal that we had contributed to. Thank you to Vanh and your wonderful father, plus of course the chef!
Hi Michele! Thank you for the kind words, especially about our private cooking class! We work hard to make every visit special, and your feedback makes it all worthwhile. Waiting to see you again ! From Van family with love
So great to see how the local Vietnamese people work in their gardens! They are so passionate about their gardens! This was amazing fresh produce bought to our tables which we cooked! Chef Blue and Van were very friendly and loved sharing their local knowledge with us! Food and amazing - we loved making spring rolls!
Dear Sally! We’re honored by your kind words. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you — your satisfaction is our top priority! From Van and Chef Blue!
This cooking class and farm tour is a must do while in Hoi An. My husband and I loved the hospitality and food so much, we returned the next night for dinner. Van and her family are so kind and helpful, we both learned a lot. My husband and I cannot wait to try making some of the recipes we learned when we get home. We made the fresh spring rolls and the crispy pancake spring rolls. When we travel back to Hoi An with some family, we will be taking them here!
Dear Aimeee! Thank you so much for joining our cooking class and for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the experience — it was a joy having you in the kitchen. We hope you’ll come back soon to cook with us again! From Van and family with love!
