Begin your journey at the iconic 2/4 Square on Tran Phu Street, taking a leisurely stroll along one of the most stunning coastal avenues in the city. On one side, vibrant urban life unfolds with bustling street crowds, local museums, and entertainment venues; on the other, a million-dollar panorama opens up across Nha Trang Bay—proudly recognised as one of the world's most beautiful bays.
Leaving the lively beachside behind, you will turn into quiet residential backstreets to embark on an authentic culinary journey featuring 7 carefully selected local tastings, thoughtfully sequenced to balance your palate and optimise your tasting experience:
Phase 1: The Activation (Starters & Street Bites)

Gỏi Bò Khô (Beef Jerky Papaya Salad): A refreshing and zesty salad featuring crunchy shredded green papaya, savoury braised beef jerky, and a sweet-and-sour dressing that awakens your appetite.
