Join me and my family for a cosy evening in our home, where you’ll experience what an authentic homemade Vietnamese dinner feels like - simple, nutritious balanced, warm - and Vietnamese culture that is preserved in each family's daily meal.
This experience is not another restaurant experience. It started from something personal. After years of travelling, I realised that what I missed most wasn’t the places I visited, but the feeling of being at home - sharing a meal, hearing stories, and feeling connected. I wanted to create that same feeling for other travellers here in Vietnam.
What you’ll do
Walk through our area
We’ll start or finish with a short stroll so you can see daily life outside of the touristic old quarters as it really is - unfiltered, local, and quietly vibrant.
Visit our rooftop
From here, you’ll see a different side of Hanoi - where old streets and new buildings meet, a view most visitors rarely get.
Share dinner with my family
We’ll sit down together for a generous homemade meal, just like we do every day. Guests often mention how much care goes into the food - from a wide variety of dishes to small touches like our homemade wine.
What past guests are saying
“This is the quintessential local experience… about as connected to modern culture as you can get on a holiday. The food was highly varied and plentiful, and you can really feel the care that goes into every dish. If this is available when you’re in Hanoi, do it.”
— Greg & Beth, Portland, OR
“Love love loved this once in a lifetime experience. It was one of our favourite moments on our trip to Vietnam and we cannot stop talking about it.”
— Sammie, Miami, FL
“The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the entire experience felt incredibly personal and genuine. The stories shared added so much meaning, and the food was diverse, flavourful, and unlike anything you’d find elsewhere in Hanoi.”
— Seo Young, Melbourne, Australia
Come hungry - there’s usually more than enough to share. Come curious and open minded - we'll squeeze in on the living room's carpet next to a small table having dinner and chat.
