Tra Que Vegetable Village Restaurant

Description

About 5km from the old town, Tra Que Vegetable Village Restaurant sits right next to the working herb and vegetable gardens that supply its kitchen. You eat while watching farmers tend the beds, which sounds gimmicky but is actually calming after a morning on a bike or scooter.

The cooking classes here are the main draw and they’re run well – Ruby is the name you want, and she handles mixed groups including vegans without making it a whole thing. The class typically starts with a market run through a local (not tourist) market before heading out to the village.

The food stands on its own too. Fried spring rolls and papaya salad come up repeatedly as the things to order if you’re just stopping for lunch. Arrive around 3:30pm on a weekend and the tour groups have cleared out, leaving you with the whole place to yourself.

Highlights

Skip the midday rush and arrive around 3:30pm - the tour groups are gone, the staff are relaxed, and you'll have the garden view to yourself.
