Da Nang food tour
Da Nang isn’t just a beach town; it’s a culinary titan with street food heroes and Michelin-listed eateries - deep in the culinary underbelly of Central Vietnam.
We'll meet inland from Dragon Bridge, our foodie trail ventures straight into the heart of the neighborhood bustle. From sizzling bánh xèo to charcoal grilled beef in piper lolot leaves, work your fork next over banana leaf-wrapped sausage and sticky rice cake with steamed dumplings.
We'll find out why the Michelin list picked out Da Nang and not it's touristy neighbour Hoi An. There's braised caramelized pork with crunchy stir-fried morning glory. We'll get our hit from the ocean with a bowl of bún chả cá rice noodle with fish cakes and crispy chả giò tom spring rolls with shrimp. Among many more surprises, there are 15+ delicious tastings in all. We're on a mission to expand your palate of Vietnamese cuisine.
For the finale, a spoon a sweet taste of red bean chè dau do, and then finishing up with the greatest cup of salted Joe on earth (in a very cool vintage venue). The tour ends with a new found knowledge of Da Nang's culinary delights. Book this tour at the start of the trip, you'll want to go back for a second serving.
Why this tour is awesome
We’re ditching the manicured museum vibe of Hoi An for the salt-aired, wok-fired heart of Da Nang. We're leaving the resort trails; and taking you deep into the unvarnished engine room of Da Nang’s street food scene.
This food tour is a tactical strike into the most defiant backstreet kitchens and Michelin-spotted institutions. You’ll leave with more than just a full belly—you’ll gain the insider’s blueprint to decode the identity of Vietnam’s most underrated food city.
