Da Nang Private Food Tour – A Taste of Vietnam

Kick off from your hotel, we’ll drive along the scenic coastal road and make our first stop at Man Thai Beach, located at the foot of Monkey Mountain (Son Tra Peninsula). Here, gentle waves lap against golden sands while colorful fishing boats sway peacefully in the breeze. You’ll also have a clear view of the iconic Lady Buddha Statue, standing gracefully on the hillside and watching over the bay. In the late afternoon, the scene becomes truly magical – the sky transforms into a canvas of gold and pink as the sun sets over the horizon, creating the perfect moment for stunning photos and pure relaxation.

Make the FIRST STOP and savor the irresistible flavors of Bánh cuốn thịt nướng – delicate steamed rice rolls filled with fresh herbs and juicy grilled pork, served with a fragrant dipping sauce. Here, you’ll take a seat at a humble local eatery, just like the residents do, surrounded by the lively chatter of everyday life. This stop isn’t just about tasting delicious food – it’s about immersing yourself in the authentic atmosphere, where every bite tells a story of Da Nang’s vibrant street food culture.

Then continue the tour and stop at Tho Quang fishing harbor, where hundreds of colorful fishing boats and floating rafts are anchored after a day at sea. From this vantage point, you can spot Tien Sa Port in the distance, set against the calm blue waters of Da Nang Bay. It’s a brief but memorable glimpse into the daily life of local fishermen and the maritime culture of Da Nang.

Then, we’ll cross the impressive Thuan Phuoc Bridge – the highest and longest bridge in Da Nang – to enjoy a panoramic view of the city from one of its most stunning vantage points. Our next stop is a beloved local eatery serving two Vietnamese favorites: Bánh xèo – crispy turmeric pancakes stuffed with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts, wrapped in fresh herbs and dipped in rich peanut sauce; and Nem lụi – fragrant grilled lemongrass pork skewers, served with rice paper, herbs, and a savory dipping sauce. Pair these delicious bites with an ice-cold local beer for the perfect taste of Da Nang’s vibrant food culture.

Then, continue the adventure by driving through the vibrant streets of Da Nang and stopping at Hue Ngon BBQ, a popular grill restaurant in the heart of the city, just a short ride from the iconic “Rooster Church.” Traveling by private car, Vespa, or motorbike, we’ll pass by some of Da Nang’s most famous night-time landmarks along the way. Here, you can pick a few favorite grilled dishes — from fresh seafood to tender beef, chicken, or pork — to enjoy and share. Local cold drinks are also available. It’s a flavorful and memorable stop, with the dazzling city lights all around you.

After enjoying tasty food and drinks at the previous stop, we’ll head to the iconic Dragon Bridge. Spanning 666 meters (2,185 feet) across the Han River, this golden dragon is illuminated at night, shifting colors every minute and creating a spectacular view. We’ll also pause to capture the charming Love Bridge and the dazzling night skyline of Da Nang when the city is at its most vibrant. To wrap up this stop, we’ll sit down at a lively street food spot nearby, enjoying local snacks and freshly poured draft beer — the perfect way to soak in the city’s evening energy.

For our final stop, we’ll slow the pace and relax at a cozy local dessert spot. Treat yourself to a refreshing tropical smoothie or a scoop (or two) of creamy homemade ice cream, made with fresh local fruits. It’s the sweetest way to wrap up our Da Nang food adventure before we say goodbye — cool, light, and full of flavor
