Why it matters
Why Chickpea Eatery is worth your time
Plant-based dining is a small but growing part of the Da Nang scene, helped by the city's Buddhist vegetarian tradition and a large number of visitors who want meat-free food. Chickpea Eatery sits at the modern end of this, using the vocabulary of Vietnamese street food with plant-based ingredients.
For an Indian family, it is a useful place because the whole kitchen is vegetarian and plant-based, which removes the question of hidden fish sauce. Dairy and honey are not mentioned on its site, so those with strict vegan needs should confirm specific dishes. For those who just want a safe meal with variety, it is one of the most reliable choices in the city.

How to experience it
Chickpea Eatery describes all its food as 100 per cent plant-based, and the menu is wide. Reviewers mention bao buns, fresh spring rolls, banh xeo, banh mi with tempeh, Hoi An-style cao lau, curries, burgers and pasta, and one even calls the menu 70 pages long. For a first visit, order a Vietnamese dish and a burger or bao to share, so the family can compare the local and the Western options.
The cafe also runs a market tour and vegan cooking class, which suits a family that wants an activity with a meal. Ask about timing, group size and whether the class can accommodate dietary needs such as no onion or garlic; the restaurant does not make a Jain claim, so confirm.
The brand has branches in Hoi An and other cafes in Da Nang, so check the exact location you choose. If the address on a map looks wrong, follow the cafe's own site or call for directions.
