Da Nang Rainy Day Street Food Tour with Charcoal Grilling

Walk the alleys of Da Nang on a rainy evening
and taste real local street food

When it rains in Da Nang, locals don't stay home. They gather at food stalls with charcoal stoves burning. On this tour of about 4 hours, you visit these small everyday stalls and vendors and sit down to eat with the locals. With an English-speaking guide, taste more than 10 dishes and drinks at 5 stops. A raincoat for the walk and water are provided.

Start with a hearty feast of banh xeo and nem lui

At a popular local eatery that fills up on rainy evenings, watch the cook make crispy banh xeo. Wrap grilled pork skewers (nem lui) and beef in betel leaves (bo la lot) in rice paper with fresh herbs and dip them in peanut sauce.

Grill sweet potatoes and corn yourself on a charcoal stove

At a lively local eatery with small charcoal stoves on every table, grill sweet potatoes and corn yourself. Enjoy hot soy milk warmed on the stove with crispy sesame donuts (banh tieu).

Try alley-side specialties
and finish with a warm dessert

At a small stall in a quiet alley, taste spicy lemongrass chili snails with crunchy papaya and learn to suck them out of their shells like a local. At a street cart that has been popular with students for years, watch rice paper topped with egg, pate and dried beef grilled over hot coals (banh trang kep), then dip it in a sweet and spicy sauce.

Finish the night at a small local eatery with warm, silky tofu pudding with ginger (tao pho), or head to a cozy cafe for Da Nang coffee. If you spot a hot banh mi cart or banana fritters along the way, you may stop there too.
