Uu Dam Chay is a fully vegan restaurant that serves some delicious foods for a yummy lunch or dinner. The menu is innovative and diverse. The prices at Uu Dam Were quite high, however, we do believe that Uu Dam is great for vegans since the menu is fully inclusive. The atmosphere felt minimal and somehow bohemian at the same time, which made for a beautiful, tranquil eating environment.

If this is the case, We can suggest you grab a curry and a naan from Khazaana 1992 Indian Restaurant. The small Indian restaurant has free WiFi, hospitable staff, and an entire menu section dedicated to vegetarian-friendly fare. Try the Aloo Gobi Mattar Dry with the Garlic naan if you like spice. Prices are very reasonable and portions are large, so go hungry!

Address: 4A Lê Thánh Tông, Phan Chu Trinh, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội
Opening Hours: 7.30AM – 10.00PM
Phone: 094 314 36 86

The beautiful vegetarian restaurant is near Hoan Kiem Lake. “Poor service” is a common thread in all the reviews you read online. However, the fresh vegan spring rolls with mint dipping sauce are to die for and them, combined with the pretty interior setting, made up for the terribly inattentive staff. Prices are a bit inflated for Vietnamese food since the same food at a street stall can be found equally delicious and wonderfully inexpensive, but Luk Lak is worth the slight increase in cost for the pretty environment. Luk Lak is a great place for a night out with friends or a date night if you go knowing into it the wait staff aren’t going to mind you much.

9. La Studio Bakery:

Pull up a chair in Vejo’s garden seating and indulge in dishes like sour mushroom soup and miso ramen, both of which Were packed with flavour. The taste sensations on the menu prove that plant-based doesn’t have to mean boring and that simple food isn’t bland. Vejo is remarkably Well-priced and has a gorgeous, intimate atmosphere that makes it a winner in my book.

A visit to Pizza 4P’s will have you feeling like you’re roaming the cobblestone streets of Italy, far from the chaos of Hanoi’s motorbike-ridden roads. Founded in 2011, Pizza 4P’s serves wood-fired pizza. Each pizza is topped with house-made artisan cheese produced from cow’s milk from Da Lat Vietnam. The burrata at Pizza 4P’s has a reputation amongst cheese lovers for being the best in Asia, and you can personally vouch for the mozzarella tasting like it had magically appeared from Bologna. We highly recommend their Kale and Lemon Ricotta pizza, which is simply out of this world good.
