Why it matters
Why Hejo Eatery Eyckman is worth your time
For travellers from India who avoid meat, fish and egg, Bandung is hard going. Wikivoyage says vegetarian restaurants are uncommon, and shrimp paste hides in many sambals. A kitchen where the whole menu is vegan removes most of that guesswork, which matters more for a Jain-minded or elderly relative than any single dish.
It also shows what Sundanese and wider Indonesian food can be without animal products. Satay, pempek and nasi padang are normally meat or fish dishes, and eating plant-based versions in the same format makes the trip feel less restricted. Treat it as a reliable base for a meal in the city, and still ask about sauces.

Plan your visit
How to experience it
Start with the dish Popmama says the place is known for, the Nasi Sate Magudas, a rice plate with plant-based satay. The same article says the nasi padang tastes close to the meat version, which suits a family that misses the Padang table of rendang and sambal without eating meat. Spinach also lists pempek, Japanese curry rice, pastries, cake and kombucha, so the menu runs well beyond one cuisine.
Spinach states that everything on the menu is vegan, which is why we tag it pure vegetarian and vegan, and it also flags cross-contamination, advising diners to ask about sauces before ordering. Do that at the counter, in plain words, rather than assuming. Because several dishes are plant-based versions of fish or chicken dishes, the names alone can mislead, so ask what each one is made from.
Go at a quiet hour for easier conversation. Pastries and cake make a sensible end to the meal or something to carry back to the hotel.
