Why it matters
Why Roots Plant-Based Cafe is worth your time
The An Thuong district grew up around visitors and long-stay residents, and its menus lean towards healthy, international food. Roots is one of the older plant-based cafes there, and its chain of cafes across Vietnam reflects a growing demand for vegan food in the country.
For Indian travellers, it provides a fully vegan, hygienic place for a light meal with familiar ingredients such as chickpeas, hummus and lentil-based dishes, and it works well if you are tired of noodles. The menu is Western, so expect bowls and wraps, not Vietnamese or Indian cooking.

How to experience it
Roots describes itself as a modern vegan cafe and cold-pressed juice and smoothie bar. The Da Nang cafe was established in 2018 in the An Thuong area, according to HappyCow, and the menu includes smoothie bowls, Buddha bowls, wraps, hummus on toast and vegan burgers, with juices and kombucha. Order a juice, a bowl and a toast to share, and add a burger for a bigger appetite.
The site says burger patties and vegan cheese are imported from Thailand, and it uses oat milk in its drinks, which are plant-based substitutes. It does not discuss honey, so strict vegans should ask.
An Thuong is a lively expat zone with many cafes. If the first address on the map looks wrong, walk along Tran Bach Dang street and look for the sign. It is a short ride from My Khe Beach.
