Tips For Finding Vegetarian Food In Dalat
Look for the word “chay” (vegetarian) on signs and menus, and say “tôi ăn chay” (I am vegetarian) when ordering at local places. These tips help Indian travellers eat well beyond the vegetarian restaurants in Dalat listed above:
- No fish sauce: In non-vegetarian restaurants, ask for “không nước mắm” (no fish sauce), as it is used in many sauces.
- Jain meals: Ask for “không hành, không tỏi” (no onion, no garlic); Buddhist vegetarian kitchens often cook this way already.
- Day trips: Restaurants near sights such as datanla waterfall and the flower farms mostly serve non-vegetarian food, so eat in town or carry fruit and snacks from the Dalat Market.
- Lunar days: On the 1st and 15th days of the lunar month, many locals eat vegetarian, so popular places get crowded; arrive early.
