Food Tourism can resonate ethical and sustainable values based on the territory, the landscape, local culture, local products, authenticity, which is something it has in common with current trends of cultural consumption.
Not only blogging about Vietnamese food and drinks, we commits to in-depth promotion of Vietnam’s Gastronomy and Territory through Food Tourism Initiatives and B.E.S.T Việt Flavours.

Vietnamese Food integrates cultures from 54 ethnic groups, and other cuisine like French, Chinese, Khmer…Many gastronomic heritages have been handed over generations, whilst undergoing varied evolution.

Equally, we cater discerning travelers who recognize the value of gastronomy as means of socializing, as a space for sharing life with others for exchanging experiences.

We promote Vietnamese Food and Beverages Specialties with specificity and authenticity. The selection of products on our Boutique is inspired by B.E.S.T concept by EHL in Switzerland. Not like any other food shop, this B.E.S.T Việt Flavours will gradually form a gastronomic map of Vietnam, in which typical local products represent its territory. When possible, a traditional recipe will be accompanied to highlight local cuisine and diversity of Vietnam culinary cultures.
B.E.S.T represents the four pillars of a sustainable diet:
