# Bụt Việt Vegetarian Restaurant

> A garden-quiet vegetarian house on Đống Đa in central Nha Trang, built around a koi pond and a skylit wall of greenery that runs between the tables. The kitchen cooks Vietnamese meat-free food at full restaurant scale — clay-pot mushrooms and tofu, hand-rolled starters, bright shredded salads, rice and noodle plates, and per-guest set menus for two or more. A separate menu comes out on full-moon and new-moon days, and the fried rice is made without egg on request.
