Chickpea Eatery: Vietnamese Vegan Restaurant & Hội An Vegan Cooking Class
Description
Chickpea is the go-to spot for vegan food in Hoi An, and it earns that reputation dish by dish. The banana flower salad and wonton noodle soup are the kind of food that makes you question why you ever ate meat in the first place. The cooking classes (which include a market tour) are the real draw for visitors who want more than just a meal.
