A world of colors in contemporary vegetarian cuisine.

Vegetarianism is popular not only for religious reasons, but also for its nutritional value and significant health benefits. The most common vegetarian diets include: vegan, lacto-ovo vegetarian, lacto vegetarian, ovo vegetarian, pescatarian, polotarian, and finally, flexitarian.

These vegetarian diets are designed to suit different individuals and health conditions. Regardless of the style, consider vegetarianism as a lifestyle and find ways to adapt to it, enjoying and appreciating it instead of forcing yourself to conform to any particular style simply because you think it's "healthier."

Future

The Vi Lai vegetarian restaurant is located in a charming and peaceful little alley on Ly Thuong Kiet Street. With its impressive ambiance, diners can feel relaxed and comfortable the moment they step through the door.

Along the path lined with tranquil lakes, a beautifully designed vegetarian restaurant emerges. The restaurant is meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, from custom-printed chopsticks and large, beautiful paintings to its spacious and airy atmosphere, making it ideal for large family gatherings or group meetings.

The dishes here are prepared with basic, pleasant flavors, leaning towards mild and delicate tastes. Some of the soups served as appetizers weren't particularly impressive. While the fragrant and creamy coconut curry is delicious with white rice, the fried spring rolls with pink sauce also provide a delightful experience for diners.

Other dishes like soft tofu in sauce and fried tofu make the menu somewhat monotonous and limited to familiar vegetarian options. In particular, desserts need to be more harmonious and appealing to the palate.

Vejo

Nestled in a small house on the bustling Bat Dan street, the new vegetarian restaurant Vejo is a must-try with its impressive and diverse menu.

Not positioning itself as a traditional vegetarian restaurant, Vejo's menu is multicultural, diverse, and innovative. Dishes like Lava Thai or European-style pumpkin soup, and Chinese-style dumplings could certainly attract foreign customers. However, the appeal of these dishes isn't yet strong. With Vietnamese vegetarian options, Vejo boldly showcases familiar dishes like fried spring rolls and rice patties with authentic, rustic Vietnamese flavors.

However, according to the staff, the miso ramen is the most popular dish among customers. Further conversation with the restaurant owner revealed that this is one of the restaurants committed to not using MSG or artificial flavorings in its cooking, instead relying entirely on the natural sweetness of vegetables and using natural seasonings like salt and sugar.

La Vegarie

Located on Trang Thi Street, La Vegarie is a unique, diverse, and private fusion-style vegetarian restaurant with an entrance via a charming and peaceful little alley.

With its multi-faceted style, La Vegarie challenges itself with flavors from around the world. From à la carte menus featuring Mediterranean-style oyster pasta with creamy mushroom and tomato sauce to Indian Masala curry with a blend of 10 West Asian spices, tomatoes, and coconut milk, the dishes here always pique curiosity.

But for those who want to start with a safer option, they can try the cabbage rolls filled with lentils and cheese, served with a unique goat's belly mushroom sauce. The restaurant also sells wine, perfect for parties or romantic dates.
