Tips for Vegetarian and Jain Travellers in Hanoi
Look for the word “chay” (vegetarian), say “no egg” or “no onion, no garlic” when needed, and plan around the afternoon break.
- Chay means vegetarian: restaurants with “chay” in their name cook without meat, fish or fish sauce.
- Eggs and dairy: say “không trứng” (no egg) if you avoid eggs; most Vietnamese vegetarian food is dairy-free.
- Jain food: say “không hành, không tỏi” (no onion, no garlic) and check about root vegetables; for strict Jain meals, choose Ram Krishna or Rutba.
- Timings: many vegetarian restaurants close between lunch and dinner (around 2:00–5:00 PM).
- Cafés: there is no oasis cafe hanoi branch; the famous koi-pond Oasis Cafe is in Ho Chi Minh City, but Hanoi has plenty of garden cafés of its own.
- Sightseeing: most of these restaurants are close to the main things to do in Hanoi, so it is easy to fit a vegetarian lunch into a city tour.
