Tasting the Delights of Vegetarian Hanoi | Taste of Vietnam

Vegetarian dishes aren’t new as it has been a part of Vietnamese cuisine culture for centuries, along with our country's long-rooted history of Buddhism. Furthermore, as a South-East Asian country, nature spoiled us with a wide range of variety for plant-based food. As a result, Vietnamese chefs have perfected the art of creating delicious and nutritious vegetarian dishes and keeping them harmonised, using fresh, all using local ingredients, noticeably tofu, mushrooms, vegetables, herbs, and spices. We could say Vietnam is heaven for vegetarians 🙂.
In recent years, the popularity of vegetarianism has grown in Vietnam - especially among the youth. We opt for plant-based diets for multiple reasons: healthy, ethical, and environmental. This leads to a wider variety of vegetarian options available in restaurants throughout the country, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a flavourful and satisfying vegetarian culinary experience.
