Faifoo Restaurant VN Cooking class in Hoi An — YES!
Sublime! A must do in Hoi An. If you love to cook and eat, please book this experience. So yummy — and we made it all ourselves! Such fun! The chef instructing us was so gosh and nice and spoke perfect English. Also such a great value! We all were so so happily full when we left. YES!

Enthusiastic about food, excited about the course
We ate in the restaurant in the evening and spontaneously decided to go for the cooking class because we were so enthusiastic about the food. We were not disappointed;) The tour of the Vegetable Village was very informative and our guide and cooking course instructor Ngoc brought us closer to life there in humorous white. The short round about the market, where the guide buys some of the ingredients, was not so spectacular for us personally, but we have also been to several foodmarkets before. Great was the cooking class in 1. floor above the restaurant has taken place. There you have a nice view over the river if you are not looking in your pan or at your cutting board.;) You really make the complete dishes yourself (except for a few small pages prepared for us by Ngoc). The 3 dishes (one consisting of fish or mushroom and eye bergine stew, both prepared separately) are really a lot to eat and in the end we had to fight a bit. Especially the Vietnamese pancakes and the spring rolls have been particularly delicious for us. The dishes are then provided to one with QR code. With us it was not possible to open them with the eSIM, but in the WLAN it worked (with advertising) without any problems. If you like the Vietnamese food and are interested in cooking something like this at home, such a cooking class is absolutely recommended.

Great experience with poor follow up
Loved the experience of learning about the fresh produce and cooking vietnamese food. However I am still waiting for my photos and the recipes. The guide asked me to use the qr code. All I get is a request for my credit card. Not doing thay

Fantastic tour & cooking workshop!
We had a fantastic tour of the farm with a nice explanation of everything that grew there. Then we walked with Ngoc through the local market to get fresh products for cooking. Then we started cooking extensively, including springrolls, rice pancakes, grilled fish and fried eggplant (as are also on the menu in the restaurant). The explanation and help was clear and in good English. Not unimportantly, the food was delicious! We would recommend this to anyone, also suitable for families with slightly older children!

Best cooking class we did in Vietnam

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cooking Class with Tra Que Eco Farm & Local Market Discovery: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Cooking Class with Tra Que Eco Farm & Local Market Discovery cost?
+
Prices start at $51 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hoi An usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cooking Class with Tra Que Eco Farm & Local Market Discovery take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hoi An is not rushed.
Is Cooking Class with Tra Que Eco Farm & Local Market Discovery worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hoi An, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cooking Class with Tra Que Eco Farm & Local Market Discovery?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cooking Class with Tra Que Eco Farm & Local Market Discovery suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cooking Class with Tra Que Eco Farm & Local Market Discovery?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hoi An can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hoi An and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cooking Class with Tra Que Eco Farm & Local Market Discovery start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hoi An within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hoi An?
+
On Outty we rank every Hoi An experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hoi An Ancient Town Walking Tour with a Local, Hai Van Pass Motorbike Private Tour with Mister T Easy Rider, Hoi An Eco Tour Cooking Class & Fishing (Local market,basket boat,learn cooking). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hoi An?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hoi An?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
