Hoi An Old Town: Gourmet SecretEATS Social Dining Adventure with a Top Local Chef

4 hours

Easy

More than just dinner — this is a secret gourmet journey through Hoi An’s flavors, culture, and stories.

Not your usual night out. Not your average restaurant.

This is SecretEATS — an unforgettable social dining adventure hidden behind closed doors in the heart of Hoi An.

Step off the beaten path and into a beautifully preserved 250-year-old heritage home, now transformed into a secret dining venue. No address. No menu. Just a promise: you’ll be delighted. 

Led by a local host, you’ll enjoy an intimate, multi-course tasting experience crafted by one of Hoi An’s top chefs. Each dish is inspired by local ingredients and Vietnamese culinary traditions, reimagined with a global twist. Think bold, surprising flavors, expertly paired wines, and stories that bring each course to life.

Whether you're a solo traveler, couple, or small group, this shared table experience invites guests from around the world to connect — starting as strangers and leaving as friends. Expect laughter, cultural insights, interactive games, and a few surprises along the way.

On select nights, you may even meet our renowned Secret Chef — a true local culinary legend who has cooked for presidents, global celebrities, and artists around the world. With a career that’s taken him from Vietnam to the US, Mexico, South America, and Europe, his journey began cooking beside his mother in their home kitchen. His dishes today reflect a lifetime of experience, passion, and heart.

Your evening will be hosted from start to finish, with stories about Vietnam’s rich food culture and the distinct flavors of its North, Central, and South regions. Every detail is curated to surprise and delight — from the setting and the storytelling to the final course.
