My Favourite Vegetarian Spot in Saigon: Đu Đủ Xanh!
A Peaceful Escape in District 1
Hidden behind a grand entrance in the bustling Da Kao area, you'll find Đu Đủ Xanh, a charming Vietnamese vegetarian restaurant. The atmosphere is wonderfully serene, a perfect escape from the Saigon chaos.
Local Flavours with a Fine-Dining Touch
The menu features familiar local dishes, beautifully plated with a touch of elegance. Some even hint at a fine-dining experience. But here's what really impressed me...
Subtle Flavours, Truly Vegetarian
I love how delicately they cook, avoiding the overuse of strong spices. So many vegetarian restaurants try too hard to mimic the flavours of meat dishes, overloading the food with ingredients. Đu Đủ Xanh understands that true vegetarian cuisine is about lightness and allowing the fresh ingredients to shine. It sounds simple, but it's a detail many places miss!
Overall: A Must-Try
It's a calming oasis in the heart of Saigon, with delicious and subtly flavoured food. Expect to spend around 400k-500k Ringgit Malaysia per person, including drinks and dessert, for a satisfying meal. Definitely worth checking out!
