Why it matters
Why Viet An Vegan Restaurant is worth your time
Hue's imperial cooking has a long meatless tradition tied to Buddhist temples, and Viet An brings that style to Saigon. Eating banh beo and lotus-leaf rice is a way to taste a regional cuisine without leaving the city.
For a family with a strict diet, a restaurant where the whole menu is vegan removes the question of fish sauce and egg, and gives you room to order widely. Onion and garlic may still appear, so Jain guests should ask.

How to experience it
Viet An is a casual, two-floor restaurant at 11 Tran Nhat Duat that serves Vietnamese vegan food with a Hue leaning. The dishes diners name include banh beo (small steamed rice cakes), rice cooked in a lotus leaf, fresh spring rolls and curry.
Start with banh beo, a Hue snack that is eaten in small portions, then share lotus-leaf rice and a curry. Reviewers also praise jackfruit in a clay pot, pineapple fried rice and rice rolls. The owner is described as friendly and service as fast, which helps if you are eating with older relatives.
Prices are called reasonable but slightly above typical Vietnamese fare. Tan Dinh is a short ride from the main sights and has an old church and a market nearby, so you can combine a meal with a short look around.
