The short answer
Y Thao Garden: what visitors should know first
Choose this for a slower, sit-down Hue meal in a garden. VinWonders says both vegetarian and non-vegetarian imperial dishes are served, but it is a mixed kitchen, so vegetarians must ask about stock and fish sauce.

Why it matters
Why Y Thao Garden is worth your time
Set menus of Hue dishes in a garden give visitors a more formal introduction to the city's cooking than a noodle stall does. For older travellers it is also easier to sit down, order once and eat at a measured pace, which is why Y Thao Garden is a reasonable choice.
The evidence is two guides that agree on the address and on the set-menu format. We have no menu, price or opening-hours information and no evidence that it is entirely vegetarian, so no diet tag applies. Confirm the details directly before you plan a meal around it.

How to experience it
VinWonders lists Y Thao Garden at 3 Thach Han in Vy Da, offering imperial dishes, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and mentions a collection of Hue enamel. Rusty Compass gives the same street address and describes traditional Hue cuisine from set menus in a garden.
A set menu is a good way to cover several dishes without choosing from a long list, and it keeps a mixed-diet group together. Ask for the vegetarian set if anyone needs one, and ask what the stock and sauces contain, as the guides do not say.
Book ahead for a group and ask for prices before you order, since we found no menu. Allow time, as a set menu is meant to be eaten slowly.
