Home meal in Hoi An: A taste of local life

At Mrs. Van’s home, nestled by lush rice fields and a vibrant garden, European guests enjoy an authentic home-cooked meal. While they explore the garden, she prepares fresh, locally sourced dishes, just as she would for her family.

Mrs. Van and her guests

By 11 a.m., simple yet beautifully plated traditional dishes are served under a thatched-roof corner of the yard. Mrs. Van tells stories, making guests feel the warmth of Hoi An’s hospitality.

As Hoi An city (Quang Nam province) evolves as a top tourist destination, home meals are emerging as a premium cultural experience, offering visitors a deeper connection to local traditions and daily life.

A new luxury cultural experience in Hoi An

Recognising demand from high-end travellers, Duy Nhat Hoi An Travel launched a home-meal tour, connecting visitors with authentic Hoi An households. Selected families maintain traditional lifestyles, with spacious countryside homes surrounded by paddy fields.

Authentic dining in a rural setting

Mrs. Van’s home became the first home meal venue in late 2024. When her home receives guests, she gives them a warm welcome and prepares meals just like for family.

Each morning, she cycles to the market, handpicking fresh ingredients. Guests remain unaware of the menu, adding an element of surprise and authenticity, mirroring the true Hoi An dining experience.

Visitors enjoy rustic home-cooked meals in a rural setting, savouring dishes rarely found in restaurants. So it can be said that village life is considered a tourism asset, helping farmers turn homes into premium dining experiences, boosting income and cultural value.
