Sympathetic people & fantastic food - Edit
We just couldn't stop going to this restaurant. Ate here daily during our 7 days stay and were absolutely convinced with everything we ordered. We also attended ZuZus cooking class (which you can book at the restaurant) and were highly excited about it.

Delicious food with fabulous owner - Edit
Zuzu‘s restaurant has really good food - the set menu provides excellent value for money.
Read moreIf you have some time to spare in town, do yourself a favour and book a cooking class with Zuzu.
You will choose the dishes you want to cook, have a walk around the market to buy your ingredients and learn a lot about local food and then cook together and eat it.
Don’t eat too much beforehand as you will be tasting and trying things throughout your whole time with Zuzu.
I highly recommend it!

Good eat - Edit
I liked it, friendly service and good food. I had the tofu curry, which would have been a little too salty for me without rice. Prices absolutely ok!

Best Vegan shan noodles - Edit
Relax spot with nice family running it. Locals eat there which is always a good sign. Food is affordable and tasty, loved the tomato Curry (add tofu to make it more consistent) but the star was definitely the shan noodles to which I added tofu, it was just amazing!

Nice food but there is better - Edit
Had our first meal here in Inle because of the good reviews. The food is nice but quiet basic. We really liked the staff here and the fact that all the vegetarian Curries are suitable for vegans. Would recommend the masala potato curry the most. Good portion sizes and good price.

Like eating a delicious home cooked meal, made with love. So very satisfying! Tomato curry was outstanding (this region is known for its floating tomato farms), as was the pineapple curry and Shan noodles. Washed it all down with some refreshing juices. If you have any questions, the sisters will be sure to help you out — they are genuine and know their stuff.

A must do in Nyaungshwe - Edit
We went to Sunflower for dinner the first day in Nyaungshwe and we loved it! Wonderful food and great service. We asked Zu Zu about her cooking class and we signed up. It was a lovely day with a fun market trip and then a horse carriage ride to the family’s villa for the cooking and eating!! We were introduced to some Burmese food at the market and we were happy that we didn’t eat breakfast! You will get a lot of food! Good food! Do it!

Delicious, great staff, awesome cooking class! - Edit
We went to Sunflower once the day before the cooking class and we're very happy with the meal size, taste, and the price! Like other reviews say, they are fully accomodating to a vegan diet. Either Zu Zu or Gu Gu (sisters) will take your order as they both understand English best. Their mother is usually the chef.
Read moreWe did the cooking class and were blown away afterward. It is definitely worth your 20'000 kyat (other places are less but I highly doubt they could provide the same experience). Zu Zu took us on a our of the market and taught us a lot about local ingredients. If you're not sure - ask her! The cooking class was great and a full family affair, you know you're supporting local when you go to her class. We also had the privilege of learning Zu Zu's life story. I won't say more, but it is truly amazing. Talk to her about it. She also wrote down in Burmese our vegan food requirements to show other restaurants (we were served milk accidentally in Bagan and quite sick afterward).
We made a true friend in Zu Zu and want to see her again. Her food is great, her cooking class is fun and educational. Please support her and her family's endeavours. I would have given 5 stars but could not due to the restaurant serving meat options.

Vegan options available. Vegan cooking classes available - Edit
Zuzu and Gugu are sisters and are the two main waitresses who understand what vegan is and have a very good command of english. The food has no chilli added but it is served with a side plate for you to add yourself. They have plenty of options at very cheap prices with great service.
Read moreThe cooking class is 4hrs long ans costs 20,000mmk as of mid 2017 and is totally worth it. You have the ability to alter the set menu (she is happy to make vegan as i did). Zuzu takes you on a tour of the only market in town, educates and purchases ingredients for you and then you head to her cooking school for around 7 dishes
Pros: good command of english, understands veganism, great service and tasty food

Nice food and enormous portion - Edit
We were delighted to find this restaurant with veg options in Nyaung Shwe. The vegetarian set meal comes with drink, soup, salad, main dish, and stir-fried vegetables. The portion was huge and I was struggling to finish all the food. The tofu curry was nice as well as the tea leaf salad.
