Why it matters
Why Ngon Vegan Bistro and Cafe is worth your time
Finding reliable vegetarian food is the main practical challenge for Indian families in the delta, because fish sauce and meat broths are common. A restaurant that states it is fully plant-based removes much of that guesswork.
It also lets you taste Vietnamese dishes in a form that fits a strict diet, instead of living on fruit and plain rice. That makes a longer stay in Can Tho easier for older parents.
