Veggie Vietnamese Food Must-Trys

When dining in Hanoi, explore local vegetarian twists on traditional Vietnamese dishes:

• Banh Xeo Chay (Vegetarian Crispy Pancake): This is an amazing rice flour pancake filled with tofu, mushrooms, and bean sprouts.

• Pho Chay: A veggie take on that classic noodle soup, usually made with a nice clear veggie broth.

• Bun Cha Chay: Vermicelli, vegan style, served with grilled plant-based patties, garnished with fresh herbs.

Information for Tourists

• Timing: Most vegetarian restaurants in Hanoi operate at set hours usually closing in between lunch and dinner. So, you should plan accordingly.

• Pricing: While generally cheap, some high-class vegetarian restaurants will be more expensive because they have to import ingredients and prepare very elaborately.

• Language: Basic necessary Vietnamese to learn, such as "An Chay," is a way of saying vegetarian food.

Our Take

It's a common misconception among tourists that vegan food is not delicious but we can vouch for all of the restaurants (vegan and vegetarian) in our Hanoi list that most of their food is super delicious. In Fact we would say these are among the best vegan restaurants of Vietnam and we highly recommend them.

And yes, food might be slightly costlier than local restaurants of Hanoi but it's worth it for the quality you get. Most of them are highly rated on google and tripadvisor reviews reaching as high as 4.8 out of 5 rating.

Whatever one may look for in plant-based travel, the city has it. Whet your appetite with a glass of cold Vietnamese coffee or some herbal tea. For the traveler who journeys into Hanoi, these vegetarian restaurants account for so much more than eateries - a passport to the very heart of Vietnamese culture and hospitality. Bon appétit!
