This is a full-on culinary journey! While many Hue specialties (Banh Beo, Banh Nam) look like "snacks" or "appetizers," they are incredibly artful and diverse. Across our multiple stops, the dishes combine to create a very full, satisfying, and progressive dinner. We promise you won't leave hungry!
Hue's cuisine is built on the complex, delicate standards of the former Imperial court. The food here is often seen as "art" - presented in small, beautiful portions, with a perfect balance of flavors.
