The short answer
Pi Vegetarian Bistro: what visitors should know first
A sensible lunch or dinner for vegetarians staying near the museums, but the first-floor location means stairs, and we found no pure-veg or vegan statement, so ask about egg, dairy and fish sauce.

Why it matters
Why Pi Vegetarian Bistro is worth your time
A vegetarian bistro on Vo Van Tan gives families a dependable option near the War Remnants Museum, where most surrounding restaurants serve meat. Spring rolls and fried noodles are familiar to Indian palates, and tempeh offers a protein alternative.
The afternoon closure and the stairs are the practical limits, so plan the visit around them. Booking a table is not mentioned in the guide, but a quick phone call or message to the bistro before you set out costs little and avoids a wasted trip.
