AMAZING food!! - Edit
I can’t recommend Chickpea Eatery enough, you should definitely visit if you’re in Hoi An!! The staff are so lovely and the food was AMAZING, we ate here everyday - the best vegan food I’ve had so far in Vietnam, and the prices were good! My favourite things were the Bun Cha Gio and Vietnamese pancake 😍 (also the notes they put on the food are so cute)

Great place - Edit
A must-visit in Hoi An. It's not just a restaurant, but a beautiful experience that leaves you with a full stomach, a happy heart, and a newfound appreciation for vegan cuisine.

Yummy - Edit
Lovely place with chickens and a tiny little puppy trotting around. The food was yummy, especially the quesadillas. I wasn't as big a fan of the desserts -- they were okay but nothing special. Overall, i found it a bit pricier for what we got, but there were lots of options and everything was very well done
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Good vibes

Sweet staff, fab food - Edit
Lovely restaurant run by ethical vegans. Their chicken rice was one of the best I’ve tried—juicy, peppery and very fragrant. We also loved the bao buns! They were rather nondescript in appearance but surprised us with their delicious flavour combination. I wasn’t so keen on the “Hoi An style smoothie” I got, as it was quite watery and plain. My partner popped back in the day after to get some banana bread and said it was disappointing—dry and stodgy. It seems their savoury food is where it’s at!
Read moreWe ate dinner here during the evening and sat inside as the outside seating was quite buggy, but we would’ve loved the chance to sit in the pretty garden courtyard in the daylight if we’d had enough time.
Pros: Ethically vegan 💚, Fresh and flavoursome food 🌱

Wonderful place and kind staff! - Edit
Fantastic place in Hoi An! I went twice during my 2 day trip because the food was so great! Staff are so lovely and kind! Really extensive menu with both local Vietnamese dishes and western choices too. Food is fresh and flavorful. The vegan chicken rice was great as was the bahn mi! Desserts also shouldn't be missed! Loved sitting outside to eat in the little garden. Wonderful restaurant for everyone regardless if you are vegan or not! Highly recommend!

100% vegan spot in Hoi An - Edit
We went several times while in Hoi An and it was great. Tried the Cao Lau, the quesadilla, the rice pancakes, the chicken and rice dish, and the bun cha gio. Faultless!

Delicious Food - Edit
We went to the Chickpea Eatery for lunch and had the most amazing meals, the flavours were divine. I was so impressed that I booked into the cooking class a few days later so I could recreate some of the meals when I got back home. It was the best cooking class I've done, so much fun and delicious creations. I knew that some of the ingredients wouldn't be available in NZ so the girls were super helpful in directing me to the right places to get them. The story behind the eatery is inspiring and the girls were all so lovely. I wish them all the very best.

GO THERE :):):) - Edit
Did the cookingclass there and went to eat.
Read moreLoved it!
Received so much information about vegan food, a lot of laughter, refreshing drinks, trip to the market (they know where to go and not to go;)). Everyone had their own little kitchen in the garden so you did everything yourself. So special what they do with mock meat, even use mock chickenskin.
HAVE FUN!
Pros: Lovely looking restaurant , Some of the best vegan/Vietnamese food ever, Wonderfull contact with the family
Cons: Be aware that the cookingclass is just 3 days a wk

Best vegan place in Vietnam! - Edit
The food and service here were absolutely outstanding! We chatted to the sisters who run it and they’re very committed to the animals and creating a vegan community and world, which was so inspiring 😊 the food was so good we went twice in one day! Highly recommended 🥰

Healthy and Hip - Edit
At the entrance of the old town, take the left lane and walk past Quan Chay Nhat Da, till you see a handwritten sign for Chickpea Eatery which is hidden in a small lane. This is a family-owned business by sisters who are friendly and speak English well. The fully vegan menu consists of some Vietnamese food and lots of Western / Middle-Eastern food. The food is tasty and healthy with significantly less oil. Personally would love to see more Vietnamese and specifically Hoi An regional food available in the menu, such as White Rose! They also offer cooking classes 3 days a week, available for booking on their website. (Chanced upon the Instagram vegan influencer and chef Zaccharybird taking a class here!)

Fantastic lunch - Edit
I went here to pay my deposit for the cooking class and decided that it would be rude not to eat something whilst there. I had the tasting platter (sorry not sure what it was called exactly) which comprised of some mini spring rolls, vegan chicken, salad of the day, cold vermicelli noodles, peanut sauce, mango, pineapple and probably the best tofu I've ever had (and I've had a lot in my time!), which the youngest chickpea sister explained wasn't made at the restaurant but was local. Also had a coconut cappuccino which was refreshing as its been difficult to find plant milk coffees in Vietnam.

Fun, Delicious, Vegan Cooking Class in Hoi An - Edit
I loved this. Chickpea Eatery is a family-run vegan restaurant who do well structured, fun Vietnamese cooking classes including a trip to the market. The sisters who run it are very knowledgeable and friendly, and have designed menus that are easy but delicious. They walk the walk and support local animals as well as educating you on vegan choices. Not all of us were vegan but we all had a great time. Thank you Chickpeazzze

Amazing cooking class experience - Edit
They go above and beyond to share their culture both through food and through meeting local vendors. Highlights for me included going to the market, trying new fruits and trying a local drink in the area. The food tasted amazing and we felt extremely welcome. Unforgettable experience for us travelling in Vietnam!

If you visit one restaurant in Hoi An, visit here - Edit
Hidden away from the busy streets of Hoi An is this gem of a restaurant. The food is amazing, very tasteful and fresh, and clearly a labour of love. The staff is very nice, knowledgeable and helpful, everyone speaks perfect English. The restaurant is situated in a nice garden where you can enjoy the quiet for a bit while having dinner.
Read moreWe also took Chickpea Eatery's vegan cooking class, which was an experience well beyond my expectations. We went to the market for fresh ingredients, then prepared various veganised Vietnamese staple dishes with clear guidance from all the Chickpea sisters. We brought our 4-year-old, who could tag along the workshop and share our meals. All in all, the workshop is so worth it; for the cooking, for the eating, for getting more acquainted with the Vietnamese culture. Absolutely loved it.
Pros: Amazing food, Nice and relaxed atmosphere, Quiet oasis away from the bustle

came back the next day! - Edit
The food is really good, lots of options and not too expensive. I went by myself one evening at 8 and got a table, everyone who came later they turned away so make sure not to go there too close to closing time (9pm). The staff was really nice and even gave me a piece of chocolate for free. Went back the next day with non-vegan friends and everyone liked their food😄
Read morePros: lots of choices, healthy, no added sugar!

Food, staff and atmosphere is wonderful - Edit
It's a wonderful little restaurant at the end of an alley with a great atmosphere. This is a local family restaurant and the recipes are their own. Food is wonderful, so are the prices and above all so is the staff. Loved it, will be back.
