5 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Vietnam for Plant-Based Dining
Eating plant-based while traveling can feel like a gamble when fish sauce and meat broths hide in traditional dishes. Vietnam’s Buddhist vegetarian heritage helps, but not every kitchen is equally careful.
That’s why I compared vegetarian and vegan restaurants across the country on ingredients, menu range, atmosphere and price. They suit plant-based travelers, curious foodies and wellness fans alike.
Here are the best vegetarian restaurants in Vietnam, from budget staples to fine dining.
How much does vegetarian dining cost in Vietnam?
Vegetarian dining in Vietnam costs 100,000 to 400,000 Vietnamese Dong (VND) per person for casual and mid-range meals, while multi-course tasting menus can exceed 1,000,000 VND.
| Option | Typical price |
| Affordable casual dining | 100,000 – 200,000 VND per person |
| Mid-range casual dining | 200,000 – 300,000 VND per person |
| Mid-to-high upscale dining | 350,000 – 400,000 VND per person |
| Premium fine dining tasting menu | 1,000,000+ VND per person |
1. Hum Signature
Website: https://hum-dining.vn/
Address: Thung Xanh Rooftop, 34 Vo Van Tan Street, Xuan Hoa Ward
Contact: +84 898 868 229 | [email protected]
Hours: Thursday–Tuesday: 6:00 PM–10:00 PM; Wednesday: Closed
Plant-based cooking can feel like high art in the right hands. Hum Signature offers an exclusive 10-course tasting menu at its rooftop garden, Thung Xanh.
That art shows in the kitchen, which puts vegetables at the center of every course. Seasonal Vietnamese produce gets refined techniques, and regional ingredients with traditional Vietnamese design touches make dinner feel like a special occasion.
Because of that, it’s ideal for milestone celebrations or a romantic night out, as long as you’re ready to splurge.
At over 1,000,000 VND per person, they charge about what you’d expect from fine dining restaurants in Vietnam, and it’s well above neighborhood vegetarian spots.
The catch is that dinner takes roughly two hours, so it won’t suit a quick bite.
Online booking also covers only two guests at a time, so larger groups must reserve separately.

You don’t need to be vegetarian or vegan to enjoy it, its really outstanding.
Wow, what an amazing place! The food was superb in every possible way; creative, tasty and beautifully presented. You don’t need to be vegetarian or vegan to enjoy it, its really outstanding.
The restaurant has a pleasant unique design and on the ground floor they have a gorgeous souvenir shop.

Vegan fine dining when I travel is quickly becoming my new favorite
Vegan fine dining when I travel is quickly becoming my new favorite past time. I’ve had some outstanding experiences in other countries but what made Hum stand out to me was the approach to the menu design. Each dish was accompanied by a description card and an explanation from our server with ingredients spanning different regions of Vietnam. The menu included several unique ingredients, some of which were indigenous to Vietnam, so the entire meal was a cultural and geographical adventure for the taste buds.

2. Nhà Hàng Chay Phương Mai
Website: https://phuongmaivegan.com/
Address: 86F Vo Thi Sau Street, Tan Dinh Ward (enter Alley 82 and continue 30 meters)
Contact: +84 888 339 257 (hotline, Zalo, Viber) | [email protected]
Hours: Monday–Sunday: 9:00 AM–9:00 PM
Finding a vegetarian restaurant that satisfies a family with varied tastes can be difficult. Phương Mai answers that with traditional Vietnamese dishes, from clay pot rice and pumpkin soup to hotpots for sharing.
That variety suits the welcoming atmosphere, which works well for leisurely family gatherings. Published dish prices also make ordering straightforward.
Meals typically cost between 100,000 and 200,000 VND per person, so you can sample noodle bowls, salads and vegetable curries without a large bill.
The food delivers on flavor too. When I visited for lunch, the aroma of lemongrass broth showed me that meat-free cooking can still deliver traditional flavor.
The main drawback is that the restaurant sits inside a small residential alley, which can be hard for first-time visitors to find.
Strict vegans should also check the drink menu, because some beverages contain honey or yogurt.

BEST VEGGIE FOOD ON THE PLANET
BEST VEGGIE FOOD ON THE PLANET (okay sorry for the all caps, but this place needs to be famous!) seriously cannot describe how amazing the vegan and vegetarian food is here. Get the set menu / menu for one person. Invite your friends. My meat eating friends agreed this was the best meal they had in Vietnam. The most instagramable atmosphere. This place will eventually be filled with influencers, so come try it before the world discovers this hidden gem. I will return to Saigon just to try this place again.

Everything was absolutely perfect: the ambiance, the food, and the staff.
Couldn’t find a better place for a vegan dinner. Everything was absolutely perfect: the ambiance, the food, and the staff. The lotus leaf fried rice and pumpkin soup were outstanding, and the banana fritters were the perfect finish. I even went upstairs for a post-meal meditation class! Highly recommend!

3. Heal and Celeb Vegan Restaurant
Website: https://heal-and-celeb-vegan-qnb9dt1.gamma.site/
Address: 27/1 Nguyen Van Nguyen Street, Tan Dinh Ward, District 1
Contact: +84 937 699 335
Hours: Monday–Sunday: 9:00 AM–9:00 PM
Eating out while keeping a healthy routine is hard when restaurants rely on deep-frying or heavy sauces. Heal and Celeb addresses that with organic, locally sourced vegan food in a Zen-inspired setting.
Their kitchen pairs traditional recipes like Bánh Xèo with international creations like raw vegan sushi rolls, so there’s plenty of range.
Online ordering and menu customization also help diners with dietary restrictions or allergies.
That experience stays affordable, since dishes are priced between 100,000 and 200,000 VND per person. You get organic quality without premium prices.
Beyond the food, free weekly mindfulness meditation classes add to the calm and turn lunch into a restorative experience.
The trade-off is that seasonal menu rotations mean your favorite dish might not always be available.
Also, parking is nearby rather than on-site, so expect a short walk.

If you’re in HCMC you should give this place a try whether you’re vegan or not.
One of my favorite vegan restaurants in HCMC. One of the only that was also open during the entire Tet Holiday.
I love everything here from the fresh food, the superb service and good prices. If you’re in HCMC you should give this place a try whether you’re vegan or not.
My fav dishes are the Bun Hue and Banh Xeo.

4. Dana Vegan House – Vietnamese Vegan Restaurant
Website: https://www.danaveganhouse.vn/
Address: 12 Đông Thái Street, Hoàn Kiếm
Contact: +84 828 744 931
Hours: Monday–Sunday: 11:00 AM–10:00 PM
Vegans in Hanoi often end up with limited options instead of traditional mains. Dana Vegan House changes that by turning classics like regional rice platters and phở into plant-based creations in the Old Quarter.
The menu uses northern mushrooms, tofu and mountain herbs to recreate complex flavors without animal products.
The setting adds to the experience, since the restaurant sits in a restored, nearly century-old Northern Vietnamese wooden house with real historical charm.
Prices run from 200,000 to 300,000 VND per person when you share, and multi-dish set meals are made for couples or groups of four.
The catch is that ordering alone costs more, since individual plates run 145,000 to 185,000 VND, which is higher than nearby street stalls. Solo travelers can’t split a multi-dish set meal, so they end up paying more per person.

we’re happy we got to try a lot of different dishes!
Best food I’ve had in Vietnam and I had a lot of amazing food here! Genuinely so flavourful and tasty! We had one of the tasting menu, but be aware it might be too much for just too people 😂 everything was still very good and we’re happy we got to try a lot of different dishes! The drink of the house is a must try that was the best thing we had! We will be back because we wanna try a lot more dishes! The place is also very cute and the staff so nice 🙌

but Dana Vegan House is worth dedicating multiple meals
Vegan food is far from uncommon in Hanoi, but Dana Vegan House is worth dedicating multiple meals to if you’re on a short trip. I’d call it a gallery of food – serving ingredients and recipes sourced from across this beautiful country.
We had the crispy salt-roasted abalone mushrooms, a fun remix on vegan pizza (made with a rice paper base), the five-color sticky rice (normally reserved for auspicious days) and loads more.

5. CHAY GARDEN Xuân Thủy – Vegetarian Restaurant & Tea House
Website: https://chaygarden.vn/
Address: 52 Xuan Thuy Street, An Khanh Ward
Contact: +84 901 835 388 | [email protected] | Customer service: +84 898 855 667
Hours: Monday–Sunday: 10:30 AM–10:00 PM (last order 9:00 PM); Buffet: 11:00 AM–2:00 PM and 6:00 PM–9:00 PM
Dining with a mixed group often turns into hunting for a menu that works for everyone. CHAY GARDEN in Thảo Điền solves that with an extensive à la carte menu plus lunch and dinner buffets.
Inside, tropical greenery and furniture made from repurposed wooden boats create an eco-friendly retreat from the city noise.
That calm setting pairs with a menu that’s 75% vegan, with curries, salads, hotpots and specialty teas.
For hearty eaters, the dinner buffet adds plenty of variety for around 350,000 VND per person, or nearly 400,000 VND after service charge and value-added tax (VAT).
Online reservations also make it easy to secure a garden table.
That said, the buffet only runs during set meal sessions, and the kitchen takes last orders at 9:00 PM, an hour before the 10:00 PM closing time.

I feel so much better 😅😅.
Today my mood wasn’t so good, so I just wanted to eat some vegan food and listen to music to calm my mind. That’s why I decided to come to this restaurant. Please come here and enjoy it whenever you’re not feeling your best. The atmosphere is really cozy, the staff are very friendly—especially Mr. Dat. He kept checking on me to make sure I was okay. After sitting here for two hours, I feel so much better 😅😅. If you live in Thao Dien, don’t miss this restaurant!
