The essence of wellness by the stream
✥
At Bản Cốc, every meal is a gentle wellness ritual.
We believe that truly delicious food begins with the earth: greens gathered in the forest at dawn, free-range hill chicken, precious ginseng from our own garden, and pure water drawn from the Ba Vì stream.
Nothing elaborate or showy — simply the refinement of local ingredients, cherished through humble Vietnamese cooking, so guests can savour the flavour of the mountains and forest in full.
Sit down, breathe and savour — beside the Bản Cốc stream.
Streamside Café
A moment to pause beside the cool flowing water
A 500 m² café & restaurant space opens out toward the stream — where the sound of running water blends with the aroma of coffee and the warmth of the kitchen. Rustic wooden tables, thatched roofs, and the forest breeze drifting through every seat.
The café menu features rustic roasted coffee, local herbal teas, seasonal juices and lightly handcrafted pastries. You can sit right at the water's edge, beneath the canopy of ancient trees, or on the wooden deck overlooking the valley.
From the first breakfast of the day to a late afternoon cup of tea, this is the place for the whole family to gather, or for you to sit alone and quietly listen to nature converse.

The essence of herbs in every cup of tea
Bản Cốc ginseng tea is brewed from precious ginseng grown naturally beneath the forest canopy together with Ba Vì herbs — a drink that warms the body, nourishes vital energy and calms the mind.
Each tea is blended according to the principle of balance in traditional Vietnamese medicine: ginseng tea to restore vitality, herbal tea to cool the body, and flower tea to soothe the spirit and ease sleep. A small ritual, yet rich in meaning.
You can enjoy the tea in a guided tea ceremony, or take home a box of ginseng tea as a gift from the mountains and forests of Ba Vì.

Ba Vì Local Cuisine
The authentic flavour of the Ba Vì mountains and forest
A Bản Cốc spread evokes a country meal: forest greens picked at dawn, free-range hill chicken, mountain bamboo shoots and mushrooms, fresh stream fish — prepared simply to preserve the true flavour of every ingredient.
The dishes are prepared in the traditional way — steamed, charcoal-grilled, braised in clay pots — keeping their nutrients intact. Following the seasons and the forest, the menu changes by the day like a painting of the four seasons of Ba Vì.
For meditation guests and those on healing programmes, the menu is gently adjusted toward lighter fare, low in oil and rich in greens and medicinal herbs — accompanying the healing journey.
