I had the best evening with Vivian during our food tour in Da Nang. The tour was very well laid out, so there wasn't too much walking but you still got to see some cool parts of town - perfect even when it is rainy or very hot. The restaurant choices were really great as only locals ate there and the food was very good. Obviously I liked some more than others (the banh nam was my favorite) but overall I was well impressed. And you don't eat at 15 different restaurants but get multiple dishes at some so the tour doesn't become too crazy. Also, fear not - you don't have to try anything too out there though I will say, if you are a vegetarian you are missing out - the seafood and especially the pork dishes were the best. Vivian was very mindful and fun, giving great insight of the dishes as well as the history of the restaurants and I could ask her all my silly questions about Da Nang.

Itinerary
Our evening food tour invites guests on a culinary experience around Da Nang. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of professional food guides. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, & the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian diets sorry, as there would be 5-6 less tastings. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal and celiac diets, due to the risk of traces & cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
Across the Han River bridge, lies a culinary hotspot that uncovers the real food heroes of Da Nang's most delicious street eats. Join our food tour of generations-old local eateries, with closely guarded family recipes, tossing their flame-grilled woks as dusk hits. Some are so good that they made it to the Michelin list (something the city's plucky neighbor Hoi An has yet to achieve). From stringy vermicelli with marinated pork, to ground beef wrapped in piper lolot leaves. Get ready for roasted com gà chicken with turmeric rice, and steamed rice cake topped with flaky orange dried shrimp. We'll slurp on fish cake noodle soup, and steamed clams with lemongrass, working our chopsticks over whiteleg shrimp and grilled rabbitfish. Amongst many more surprises, there's 15+ tastings to truly understand Central Vietnam's epic palate of regional dishes.
The tour ends with a sweet stop, going full circle back by the bridge we started. We aim to conquer the real food epicentre of Da Nang, only for locals-in-the-know.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Our guide Stephanie was awesome, she has a wealth of knowledge and a great sense of humor. Every stop we made had a story and great food to back it up. We learnt a lot and ate even more! Make sure to go hungry.
Our guide, Stephanie, was great! She was very informative about the city history, food history, food preparation, and food contents. All food was very good, but go very hungry as there are many stops and much food to eat! I highly recommend this tour! It was well worth the money!
Tour guide Stephanie was amazing. She was in contact with me shortly after I booked the tour. She met me promptly at the meeting location and the tour started immediately. Be prepared to eat on this trip. The tour offered a diverse offering of local cuisine. Stephanie offered insight to the local history and food scene. The food at each stop was absolutely delicious.
Stephanie ensured that our Da Nang Food Tour went off without a hitch. Although unbeknown to us, we booked on a traditional vegetarian day, we only missed out on one tasting. This was replaced with an extra dessert, both of which were super tasty. It was great trying many local dishes, prepared the traditional way and has given us a much needed confidence boost that we can enjoy the delicious local fare. Very informative history, food and culture.
We had an amazing time with our guide Stephanie. All the food stops were tasty and unique. Stephanie was also a great guide she was fun and taught us so much about Da Nang culture and food. Definitely the best food tour in Da Nang.
We were lucky to have Stephanie as our guide on this new tour around the old town of Da Nang. Her English was exceptional and she was able to introduce us to over 15 separate courses and dishes along streets, inside small restaurants and at food carts that we never would have found ourselves. We also got some history of the area and local knowledge of the best Vietnamese coffee we should try during the rest of our trip. The banh nam (flat rice flour dumplings with minced shrimp and pork) were pretty much worth the tour price alone! This is the 6th Chefs Tour we have now been on in our 3rd different country and will always seek it out when we visit a new destination. Every time we are surprised with new flavours and experiences that we would never have found on our own and that are not on the typical social media influencer radar. It’s a must try if you want an authentic taste of Da Nang.
A great way to get yr bearings around locsl Vietnamese delicious delacacies & bites! Stephanie was friendly & full of interesting foodie facts & info. Thoroughly enjoyable but come w an empty stomach😁
Stephanie was a little goldmine of info! Historical facts, fun food stories & loads of great Vietnamese food & snacks. Stephanie had great english skills & a good sense of humour. We had SO much food & such a good time! Be prepared & come hungry! Great tour!!
My husband and I recently joined A Chef’s Tour in Da Nang and had a fantastic experience. We were lucky enough to have a private tour, which meant we could take our time, ask plenty of questions, and learn much more about the local food culture. Our guide, Stephanie, was warm and friendly. As well as introducing us to some really tasty dishes, she shared interesting insights into daily life in Da Nang, how the city has changed over the years, and what it was like growing up in nearby Hoi An. Over the course of the evening, we visited everything from roadside stalls to casual local eateries and family-run restaurants, sampling an impressive variety of regional specialities. Some of my favourite dishes included the delicate clam broth, juicy grilled prawns, noodles with grilled pork and rich peanut sauce, and sticky rice topped with minced pork. If you're visiting Da Nang - particularly if it's your first time exploring Central Vietnam- I really recommend booking this tour. It's a really fun way to discover regional specialities, learn about the ingredients and cooking techniques behind the dishes, and gain a much deeper appreciation of the local food scene.
Well organized, lots of great food (we were all full by the end of the tour). Stephanie was amazing - she explained each dish, shared stories of the neighborhood and the various restaurants and was very friendly. Overall, a great experience to learn more about Vietnamese culture and food.
We had a great time trying so much local food. Stephanie was a fantastic guide and explained about the food, culture, buildings. We loved a few of the options so much we have done back again. It was a great way to see the city and try places we wouldn’t have gone to in our own.
Had an awesome experience. Great finds for authentic Vietnamese/Danang cuisine and bites.
The Chefs Tour with Vivian was exceptional. Over the years I have experienced a number of food tours and I have to say this is the best I have encountered. The food was plentiful but the highlight for me was the diversity of food. We tried things that you don’t come across at your local Vietnamese restaurant back in your home country. Vivian was also extremely knowledgeable and provided interesting commentary as we walked through the interesting streets of Da Nang. I would highly recommend this tour.
Even in the heat, the tour was a great experience. The spots we visited were definitely ones we would not have found on our own. It was a wonderful experience.
Guide was excellent . Stephanie was very informative about what I was experiencing with each plate to include some background about the establishments we were visiting . Above and beyond , she gave me some good insight on Vietnamese life/culture . Would reccomend tour !
An interesting tour through the back streets of the old town in Danang. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and patient. Huong guided us on a thoughtful well presented foodie night.
My partner and I were the only ones, so it was a private tour. Vivienne was an amazing tour guide and a local to Da Nang. We could not speak more highly of her. It was truly lovely having someone to show us around trying new food we would never have thought to try and explaining the history of businesses to us that instagram never could. The dishes were absolutely incredible and you could tell this whole tour was created by a local. This was my second ‘A chefs tour’ and I would recommend this experience to anyone. It is easily accessible and delicious! Don’t eat at all before coming because there is too much food to eat and good times to have :)
I have been on multiple tours from A Chef's Tour in different cities/countries and they have all been great. This one was no different. Vi was my tour guide, she was very helpful and knowledgeable. We tried a variety of local foods that I probably would have never tried or found on my own. Highly recommend if you are in Da Nang. As always with A Chef's Tour the food is plentiful. You are never going to leave one of their tours feeling hungry.
My partner and I have done a number of A Chef's Tour in Asia and the one in Đà Nẵng was of our favourites! We were introduced to numerous local dishes that were chock full of flavor. Our guide Ms. Hương did a wonderful job showing us around the city during our tour. Her English proficiency while speaking provided us with a clear understanding of local life style and the historic significance of certain areas of Đà Nẵng that we passed by on the tour. She always ensured that we were comfortable and most importantly full by the end of the tour! Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a taste of Đà Nẵng beyond just good eats! And hopefully you are just as lucky as us and get Ms. Hương as your guide!
