From fancy dining in French-influenced restaurants to authentic street feasts in local eateries, Da Lat offer travelers all they could hope for. Let’s take a vegetarian food journey across this wonderful city.
If you’re a vegetarian, it can be difficult at times to find a decent meat-free restaurant when traveling. And if you’re traveling to Vietnam, chances are you’ll probably land in Da Lat – one of the most famous and beautiful cities for its rich history, magnificent natural sights, distinctive climate, fantastic local foods, and more. For those who are wondering, Da Lat also has the best vegetarian restaurants to suit your veggie needs! Check out our top choices below.
If you’re still planning your trip to this city, don’t forget to research when to visit and where to stay in Da Lat. Da Lat adventure awaits!
Phan Dinh Phung street seems to be the neighborhood for vegetarians in Da Lat because there are a lot of amazing meat-free restaurants in this area. You can dine in a spacious and professional restaurant or in a friendly vegetarian house – all on Phan Dinh Phung street.
With a cozy ambience and relaxing background music, Hoa Sen restaurant can be anyone’s favorite, not just limited to vegetarians! The place was named after lotus, a flower symbolizing a sense of spirituality in Vietnam. Dining here will give you a restful experience along with amazing vegetarian dishes. They feature a variety of dishes on the menu, from regular colorful vegetables to sophisticated dishes with delicious protein substitutes. However, the highlight of Hoa Sen Restaurant is they tend to focus more on fresh vegetables and the chefs have done an excellent job turning veggies into exquisite dishes.
Start with appetizers like mushroom soup or some crispy fried spring rolls; then move on to a main course with rice-based dishes, signature Vietnamese noodles, or even a hotpot! After that you can try ice cold juices or soothing tea to finish your veggie meal. Come here to discover their extremely diverse menu!
This lovely restaurant is also located in the city center, so it’s very convenient for travelers. Just around 700 meters from Da Lat market, Hoa Sen Vegetarian restaurant can be a fine dining place at your doorstep! However, do expect it will be overcrowded during full-moon days in the Lunar calendar as Vietnamese tend to have vegetarian meals on these occasions.

This mid-range restaurant has comfortable tables and chairs, and nice decoration with calligraphy pieces in the Chinese style. The menu here is not as extensive as Hoa Sen’s, but it can still satisfy your taste buds with savoury and appetizing vegetarian dishes. Other than main courses served as one big portion, you can also choose salads as a side dish to add more green to your meal. The main ingredients are all homemade with beans, tuber vegetables, or seitan to guarantee food safety. Great food with a hospitable and considerate staff – another plus to check on the list!
Of important note, Dai Loc restaurant has vegan cakes and cookies that are typical Vietnamese and ready to eat! Many of them come in cute and funny shapes representing their names like worm or coin cookies. If you have a big sweet tooth, these snacks will come to the rescue!

This is another cozy and friendly restaurant where you can have a fantastic vegetarian meal on Phan Dinh Phung street. Like Dai Loc, Au Lac is quite a small restaurant but their menu totally makes up for that. With over 50 dishes from light appetizers to group-sized hotpot, this can widen your vegetarian experience. They also have some Vietnamese sweet desserts so you can finish your meal with a delightful touch. Yummy vegetarian dishes with fair prices and a convenient location, don’t miss this place!
The space is also very cozy with relaxing music and rustic decor of both Western and Eastern style. The staff is friendly, attentive, and helpful. It feels just like walking into a home of an old Italian friend of yours. Fantastic food in a Western menu, peaceful atmosphere, great customer service, The Sky Over Da Lat is ready to satisfy you.

You can tell by the name that this restaurant is really artsy, and the design and decoration must be special. It’s true!

This is a typical Vietnamese eatery with an open kitchen and casual furniture so you can have a different local experience here. An Lac Tam mostly serves dishes with main ingredients like meatless alternatives such as tofu, eggplants, beans, etc. You will see a lot of Vietnamese classics here such as bun bo, pho, mi quang, all in the vegetarian style. The seasoning is pleasant and flavorful, making it suitable for those who have strong taste buds. If you want to try signature dishes of Vietnam and would rather not ruin your vegetarian habit, this is the place!
An Lac Tam also includes some special dishes on the menu like Vietnamese pancakes and clay pot rice to enrich the taste.
An Lac Tam currently has two branches in Da Lat, so make sure to head to the closer one. The price here is also a plus, you can have a full lunch with around 25,000 VND (a little more than 1 USD).

This local restaurant specially features vegetarian dishes from southwest Vietnam. They serve all kinds of noodle dishes, rice, bread rolls, and many more. You can also enjoy some sweet specialties originally from the Mekong Delta provinces: banh pia and banh in, which are all vegan. Banh pia is quite similar to mooncake due to its dense texture, main ingredients, and sweetness. And banh in can give you a whole new experience: they are no-bake cakes with a round shape and white color. The flour used to make banh in is very unique as it can firmly hold the stuffing, but it also easily falls apart and melts in your mouth when you take a bite.
Now you can totally try these delightful Vietnamese desserts even if you are a strict vegan!

If you’re wandering inside Da Lat market and your hunger is so distracting, come try these vegetarian food stalls in the market! Located on the second floor, these kiosks stay close together so you can visit another stall if one is already full. Don’t worry about quality because they’re all delicious and flavorful. Keep an eye out for the words “com chay” or “chay” and you will find great vegetarian food!
