Your evening begins with pickup from your hotel in Districts 1, 3, or 4. Hop on the back of our comfortable, local-style motorbikes and get ready for a night filled with flavors, hidden gems, and unforgettable stories.
We’ll kick things off with a Michelin-recommended favorite: Bò Lá Lốt – Smoky, tender, juicy grilled beef wrapped in betel leaf, served with fresh herbs and dipping sauce. Next up is a tasting of two Southern icons, the crispy Bánh Xèo and bite-sized Bánh Khọt, golden pancakes filled with shrimp or pork and paired with fresh herbs. Both are served with herbs and dipping sauce for that perfect balance of crunch and freshness.
From there, we weave through hidden alleyways and old apartment blocks, discovering Saigon’s authentic charm before stopping at the bustling night flower market. Along the way, you’ll snack on a sizzling Vietnamese “pizza” bánh tráng nướng – a delicious combination of melted butter, cheese, egg, and Vietnamese sausage and sip a refreshing glass of sugarcane juice.
The flavors keep coming in Chinatown, where a steaming clay pot of rich crab noodle soup awaits. Then, venture into Saigon’s legendary “Gangstertown” seafood district, where locals gather late into the night. Feast on grilled scallops topped with peanuts, steamed clams with lemongrass, and smoky pepper-grilled snails, all paired with an ice-cold local beer.
No Vietnamese food tour is complete without something sweet. You’ll finish with a traditional chè – a colorful dessert made with tropical fruits, jelly, beans, and coconut milk – or a silky flan cake topped with black coffee. Finally, we’ll ride to a popular riverside hangout spot, where students and young people gather to enjoy stunning Saigon River views by night.
After a night of stories, flavors, and fun, we’ll return to District 1 and drop you off at your hotel.
