A fresh plant-based option for Vietnamese food is up and running in Vancouver's vibrant West End
The Hestia Veggie opened its restaurant in January at 1161 Davie St.
Fans of Vietnamese fare know that the location had previously been home to Pho Central. The restaurant closed up shop at the location in December 2023 after 17 years in business.
On the menu at The Hestia Veggie are familiar Vietnamese classics done entirely animal-free. The restaurant serves dishes like wok-fried green beans with plant-based meat, lemongrass crispy tofu, summer rolls, a saffron curry, and vegan takes on noodle soups.
The restaurant is open weekdays from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. according to the restaurant's Instagram account, which you can follow @thehestiaveggie.
