A Sanctuary for Authentic Vietnamese Vegan Flavors
Nestled on a tranquil, tree-lined street in District 1, our shophouse captures the essence of a traditional Vietnamese countryside, right in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. We celebrate sustainable gastronomy, embodying Vị Quê’s meaning: ‘a taste of home.’ Our serene atmosphere, thoughtfully designed to symbolize infinity, invites diners to relax and enjoy gentle jazz melodies.
The Heritage of Pure Plant-Based Flavor
Our journey began in 2021 when owner Vo Thi Bich Thuan embraced a vegan lifestyle, inspired by the traditional Vietnamese vegan dishes her mother lovingly prepared. This journey proved that 100% plant-based meals could be deeply flavorful.
“There is always one place that calls us back – the countryside… We never forget the meals our mothers made, the fresh vegetables our fathers carefully grew. Those simple dishes, made with love, shaped our memories,” shares Thuan, explaining the heritage behind our vegan recipes.
Commitment to Quality and Consistency
For Thuan and her husband, Viral Desai, consistency is key to achieving the perfect taste. To maintain the highest quality, each new vegan dish undergoes rigorous daily preparation for a full month before earning its place on our menu. We are committed to pure flavors, which is why we strictly use unprocessed ingredients and no refined sugars.
The MICHELIN Guide recognition affirms this commitment. Vị Quê Kitchen invites all diners—vegans, vegetarians, and curious foodies—to savor the authentic Vietnamese flavors of our pure plant-based creations and be inspired toward healthier choices.
Beyond the Dining Room: A Vegan Lifestyle
Our space offers a warm yet vibrant setting. The open bar serves unique organic, veggie-friendly wines and cocktails. We serve classics like vegan Phở, Bún Bò Huế (pure vegan style), and Mì Quảng. We are on a mission to prove that plant-based eating is fun, easy, and absolutely delicious.
