Co Lai - Hoi An

Small vegetarian mostly vegan street restaurant next to the holy country housekeeping. I had the rice fish. Make good with peanuts and vegetables this place is all locals and not touristic

This small restaurant may be a bit hard to find, but it's worth the search! It's not listed on Google Maps, but if you look for Holy Land Homestay, you'll find it next door (to the left of the homestay entrance). When we first tried to visit around 7pm, the restaurant wasn't open and there was no sign, so it seems to be more of a breakfast or lunch spot. But when we returned another day at 12.30pm, we saw tables set up and a small sign on the sidewalk. Although there was no menu and no one spoke English, it wasn't a problem at all. We decided to eat here twice and ordered the same thing both times. The lady showed us a bowl of plain noodles, we nodded in agreement, and she prepared bowls for us with noodles, broth, various vegetables, mock meat, peanuts, tofu, and condiments like lime, lettuce, sprouts, soy and chili sauce on the side. We think the dish we had was mi quang, a local noodle dish. Each bowl cost 20,000 dong and was a good portion size, although my boyfriend ended up getting seconds because he enjoyed it so much.

This small ice cream shop may be a bit hard to find, but it is worth the search! It is not listed on Google Maps, but if you are looking for Holy Land Homestay, you can find the ice cream shop next door (to the left of the entrance). During our first attempt around 7 AM, the shop was closed with no signs, indicating it may be more of a breakfast or lunch spot. However, when we returned another day at 12:30 PM, we noticed tables set out and a small sign on the sidewalk. Although there was no menu and the staff did not speak English, we had no trouble ordering. Unsure of the other items available, we ended up ordering the same dish twice. The lady showed us a bowl of simple noodles, and we agreed, resulting in a bowl of noodles with broth, various vegetables, mushrooms, peanuts, tofu, and additional toppings like fresh lime, salad, sprouts, soy sauce, and chili sauce. We believe the dish we had was mi quang (a local noodle dish.) Each bowl cost 20,000 Dong and was a generous portion size, as my friend even ordered seconds.

I visited a small vegetarian, mostly vegan street restaurant located next to the Holy Land Homestay. I tried the rice rice fish dish, which was delicious with peanuts and vegetables. This place is popular among locals and is not touristy at all.
