Vegan-Friendly?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Saigon, veganism is not a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/eating-gluten-free-and-other-food-allergies-in-vietnam\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dietary restriction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Instead, veganism is essentially its own cuisine with some vegan restaurants achieving flavors and textures that you just can\u2019t find anywhere else. There is one main reason for the development of such a rich vegan cuisine in Saigon: Vietnam&#8217;s rich Buddhist tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mahayana Buddhism has been influencing Vietnamese culture for over 1,500 years, and one of its tenets is to refrain from eating meat when possible. While not many modern Vietnamese are strict Buddhists, the majority observe some of the more important aspects. This includes going easy on the carnivorous diet. While most Vietnamese still eat meat regularly, it\u2019s generally considered good karma to include a lot of plant-based meals. In fact, you can usually find family-run vegan restaurants next door to temples in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 15th day of each month (according to the Lunar Calendar, not the Roman Calendar) is known as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ng\u00e0y r\u1eb1m <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in Vietnamese and is considered the most holy day of the month. Because of that, eating meat is quite taboo on that day for most Vietnamese people, so you can count on that being the busiest day of the month for all the vegan restaurants in Saigon.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7844 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vesak-day-vietnam.jpg\" alt=\"A buddhist pagoda in Vietnam\" width=\"1120\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vesak-day-vietnam.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vesak-day-vietnam-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vesak-day-vietnam-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vesak-day-vietnam-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vesak-day-vietnam-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vesak-day-vietnam-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/xotours.vn\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vesak-day-vietnam-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1120px) 100vw, 1120px\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Vegan_Restaurants_Like_in_Saigon\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are Vegan Restaurants Like in Saigon?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter where you are in Saigon, there\u2019s almost certainly a vegan restaurant within a few minutes\u2019 walk \u2013 you can spot them when walking around by the word <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chay<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which means \u201cvegan\u201d in Vietnamese.
