Stone Bowl Pho Cooking Class with 3 Specialty Coffee Tastings, Free Recipe Book, Local Wine Tasting, and More!

Immerse yourself in the flavors and traditions of Hanoi through a hands-on culinary experience that brings together Vietnam’s most iconic dish and its beloved coffee culture. The Stone Bowl Pho Cooking Class with Hanoi Specialty Coffee invites you to learn, cook, and taste like a local in an intimate and welcoming setting.
Guided by a local host, you will discover the secrets behind authentic beef or chicken phở, from understanding the role of spices and herbs to balancing a clear, aromatic broth. Learn the unique stone bowl technique, where piping-hot broth is poured into a heated stone bowl, intensifying aroma, flavor, and texture right before your eyes.
This experience goes beyond cooking. You’ll gain cultural insight into why phở is more than just a meal in Hanoi, but a daily ritual, a comfort food, and a symbol of Vietnamese culinary identity. After preparing your phở, sit down to enjoy your creation just as locals do.
The journey continues with Hanoi specialty coffee, brewed using traditional Vietnamese methods. Learn about local beans, brewing techniques, and flavor profiles while sipping a carefully prepared cup that perfectly complements your meal.
Designed for food lovers of all skill levels, this small-group pho cooking class offers personal guidance, meaningful interaction, and a deeper connection to Hanoi’s food and coffee culture. You’ll leave not only with a satisfied appetite, but also with practical recipes, new skills, and lasting memories of cooking, tasting, and sipping your way through Hanoi.
