Experience the Y Thao Cooking Class in Hue – A Journey into Royal Vietnamese Cuisine

Nestled in a quiet neighborhood near the historic citadel of Hue, Y Thao Cooking School offers a unique opportunity to explore Vietnamese culinary traditions firsthand. This isn’t just a cooking class—it’s a cultural experience that immerses you in the refined art of Hue’s royal cuisine.

Learn to Cook in a Charming Traditional Setting

The class takes place in a beautifully restored traditional home styled like a Chinese pagoda. Surrounded by a peaceful garden, this serene space creates the perfect environment to dive into cooking while soaking up the atmosphere of old Hue.

Discover the Art of the Royal Meal

Y Thao specializes in the preparation of the “Royal Meal” of Hue—a culinary tradition once reserved for emperors. Under the guidance of an expert chef, you’ll learn to prepare four to five classic dishes, including traditional Vietnamese spring rolls and the distinctive banana leaf salad. Each dish reflects the balance, elegance, and presentation that Hue’s cuisine is known for.

Enjoy the Meal You’ve Created

After about two hours of hands-on cooking, you’ll sit down to enjoy the fruits of your labor. We recommend joining a morning class so you can relax over lunch in the tranquil garden pagoda setting.

Whether you’re a food enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable cultural experience, the Y Thao Cooking Class is a must-do while visiting Hue.
