Why it matters
Why Nha Hang Chay Sa Pa (Autumn Vegetarian) is worth your time
Cheap, plain vegetarian food is hard to find in a tourist hill town, where menus lean towards trout, hotpot and noodle soup with meat stock. A small upstairs restaurant that serves tofu, noodles and fried rice without meat fills that gap.
Because egg appears in some dishes unless removed, it is not Pure Veg, and the vegan-options tag reflects the marked vegan dishes on a vegetarian menu. It suits travellers who can handle a staircase and want quiet, simple food.

How to experience it
Look for the street number 19 on Tue Tinh Street and the Local Pub at ground level; the restaurant is upstairs. Spinach lists stir-fried tofu, tofu with tomato sauce, noodles, fried rice and ginger tea as the traditional Vietnamese vegetarian dishes served.
Spinach rates it very vegan-friendly with 3 to 5 clearly marked vegan options, and says staff can leave egg out of certain dishes. That means some plates contain egg by default, so ask when ordering if you avoid it.
A ginger tea after dinner is a sensible choice on a cold evening. Since no hours are published, keep a second option in mind in case it is closed.
