The Best Vegetarian Food in Hội An
Vegetarian and vegan food is on the rise in Vietnam – partly as a result of demand by travellers, but also because many locals avoid meat at the new moon and full moon. As a result, Hội An has a number of meat-free restaurants for vegetarians and vegans to take their pick from.
When eating out as a vegetarian in Vietnam, be aware that staff often confuse ‘vegetarian’ for ‘vegetables’, and that many Vietnamese vegetarian dishes contain fish sauce. But that shouldn’t be a problem at the following meat-free restaurants.
1. Vegan Zone Hội An
Cafe, Vietnamese
Focused on local organic produce, this cosy little venue run by a couple dedicated to playing their part in saving the Earth wows diners with dishes including mustard rolls, potato cakes, eggplant crêpes and lemongrass tofu. The healthy juices are a revelation, too – after the zingy likes of Green Glow or Vitality, you might never look at alcohol again (although beer and cider are served).
2. The Fisherman Vegan Restaurant
Restaurant, Vietnamese
On one of Hội An’s few stretches of relatively unspoilt beach, this hip venue overlooking the sand is a sweet spot for global vegan dining ranging from smoothie bowls to the likes of braised eggplant hotpot or noodles with falafel and tofu. By day, chill out on giant beanbags and loungers, or make a night of it by coming for one of the house and techno parties.
