Best place in Hanoi

This is such a lovely place and the owners seems really passionate about veganism. It's behind a couple of stalls so we had to look around for a bit. We arrived just before 5 pm and it was closed, but then it opened just at 5 so we were very lucky. We had the home made Kombucha, the spring rolls with pesto (amazing) and the rye tempeh sandwich and smoothies for dessert. It was so yummy, fresh and healthy. We are going back here at least once during our stay in Hanoi.

Pros: Low waste policy, reusable straws, water jugs, Home made in their kitchen, Healthy

Quaint and nutritious.

Kudos to the owners / staff that officiate over the running of Lovegan. An establishment that speaks volumes for the proliferation of discerning vegan consumers. Abiding by the ethical philosophy encapsulated by vegan living, this haven offers a wide array of tasty and healthy sustenance at a very affordable price.

The venue is hidden away and tiny, yet packs a strong punch. The handmade fresh rice paper rolls with tempeh and peanut/pesto sauce are both filling and delicious.

The filled bread (namely banh mi) with either lentil or tempeh is excellent. The miso noodle soup is top notch and the spinach dumplings are some of the best vegan dumplings in Asia!

Try the kombucha shake before the meal to set the body up for the treat it will subsequently receive.

Happy belly happy soul

I walked away from this homestyle cafe with a huge smile on my face. Not just because the lentil bahn mi and chickpea tempe spring rolls were super tasty and fresh but the owner was so friendly and joyful it would be impossible not to catch some of his happy vibes. Most items on the menu tickled my fancy, if I had more time I would visit again. Don't be put off by the minimalist decor here it feels like you are eating in someone's home (which I enjoyed) the food is the main focus here so there is no need for superficial fixtures here. YUMMM!!

Pros: Delicious, Friendly atmosphere, Quiet

Small cafe, nice food

Little and slow but the food was nice. Maybe more a cafeteria than restaurant, maybe a bit more expensive. But all vegan so recommend!

Lovely little hidden place

We walked here from Ho chi mihn museum and it was well worth the very long walk back to the hotel.
Lovely interior with an equally lovely lady who made our food. The banh mi with tempeh was delicious! As was the steam bun and cookies we had.
I wish we could have come back here to try more things. They seemed very popular with deliveries also.

Pros: Vegan food, Lovely place to eat, Delicious and good price

Must stop by and try the foods

I've already eaten here and that's amazing. Huy and Trang are really nice and cute owners and they put lots of effort on their work to give us wonderful dishes. the price isn't high and easy to acceptable. I highly recommend you to go to Lovegan and try the foods. Fascinating!

Update: In Tet holiday, they will be closed from 31/1 to 16/2

Superb! Great place ro eat and pick up hard to find food items

This is a charming little place. It is slightly off the main road so fairly tranquil and they play calming music. Friendly and cool people working there. I ate the chickpea tempeh spring rolls, and they were filling and high quality. I also had a banana and peanut smoothie, which was reasonable. They also have food items like tahini, protein powders, oats, tempeh, that I think can be hard to find when travelling. Maybe pricey for local standards but not for international but very worth it in my opinion. Recommend.

Pros: Pure vegan menu and diverse, Sells some hard to find food items, Friendly amd tranquil atmosphere

Best food in Vietnam so far.

Amazing place! Food was delicious - best spring rolls and dumplings in Vietnam so far! You can even buy some home made peanut butter in a jar and take it with you to do some delicious desserts or sandwiches at home.
I think prices are quite low for this kind of quality. Will come back again for sure. :)

Pros: really tasty, healthy food, english speaking and friendly staff

What an amazing discovery!

The food is just amazing! I'm always a bit...hesitant about non-GMO, bio, healthy, "perfect" food, but it was sooooo tasty nonetheless! I'm glad they deconstructed one of the stereotypes I had in mind about that kind of food. (even though I'm vegan!)

As for prices, I had their pesto pizza, their spinach dumplings, a piece of their chocolate cake along with a mango smoothie, and I also tasted their Banh Mi Tempeh, and compared to other vegan restaurants I tried in Hanoi, and even non-vegan ones, the prices were very respectable. (Not expensive at all, in my opinion) Hence, I ordered more than one dish!

The fact that it isn't a big place is an advantage, since it made it even more relaxing and cozy! The server I spoke to was very friendly (which I believe was one of the owners, I saw a review somewhere saying that a young couple owned the place)

I usually try to avoid eating at restaurants I've already been (cuz I like discovering new ones!) but this one is definitely worth coming back to!

PS : my non-vegan friend totally loved the place!

Pros: Excellent food, Good prices, Nice atmosphere

Homey Vietnamese Food

Lovegan is a cute little vegan cafe just off the main road that serves local and western food. They have Banh Mi, pizza and pasta, along with a few appetizers. We tried the lentil and tempeh Banh Mi and the hummus. They were all very tasty. The bread was very nice. The food is very affordable and the service was great. Definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Tasty, Affordable

Special Little Spot! LOVE! Best smoothie, pizza and Cake!

This tiny eatery tucked away from the main road really deserves our support. Run by a young Vietnamese vegan couple, their mission is to make veganism affordable for everyone.
They make an amazing vegan sandwich with rye baguette stuffed with lots of yummy things. Their pizza is unbelievable! Made with home made hummus and pesto and lots of roasted veggies!! We ate here almost every day and it was always delicious! They make and sell a lot of healthy vegan products (their peanut butter, hummus and protein powder are amazing!!)
The owner is Buddhist and is vegan for the animals :)
Please support! Their food is all refined sugar free, non GMO and no additives or chemicals!

amazing all vegan place, where everything is homemade, delicious, healthy(ish) and cheap

Super cute cafe with super delicious foods. We were there 2 times, on the first one they only had Banh Mi (the lentil one is sooo good!) as they were moving to a new location, on the second one they had everything else, too: we had a fresh coconut (30k!), miso soup, a whole wheat dumpling, tapioca dumplings and the lentil banh mi. And chocolate cake. Everything was exceptional, super fresh, flavourful and not too oily or salty. Oh, and did I mention it's organic?? And we paid 190k (around 7€), which is crazy.
The staff is very friendly, too. And they're vegan, too. 100%
Also, you can buy hummus, tempeh, peanut butter, nuts etc. there, which is so cool if you live in Hanoi.

Pros: amazing food for an amazing price, organic, fresh, healthy, flavourful, cute location

Cons: nope
