Hà Nội

Tran Cuisine

Location: Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội

“We are here for our first meal in Vietnam, and it was delicious. The chef made a special vegan pancake for Ellie with soy milk, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure all Ellie’s allergies were understood! Would for sure go back!”

Salt n’ Lime

Location: Tây Hồ, Hà Nội

“Great little Mexican spot in the heart of West Lake, Hà Nội! The staff was so easy to communicate with and had plenty of options that were allergen-safe for Ellie. The kids portions are adorable and perfectly sized. Everyone loved this place!”

Hồ Chí Minh City

Bagel Brothers – District 1

“Great gluten-free bagels here via Grab. We ordered to our hotel for delivery twice in our visit and did not disappoint! Was difficult to find many gluten-free bread options in Hồ Chí Minh City.”

The Long @ Times Square

Location: Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh City

“The food is delicious! They spoke well enough English, so I was able to explain my needs. The smoothies are great too.”

Poke Saigon

Location: Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh City

“Found this poke bowl place near my hotel. The building looked a little sketchy from the outside but the restaurant itself was super cool. The poke was delicious and the menu was in English, making it really easy to tell what was and wasn’t gluten free. You choose a rice or salad base, add any toppings you want, and then add a sauce. Hands down one of the best poke bowls I’ve ever had!”

Pizza & Bia

Location: Võ Thị Sáu, Hồ Chí Minh City

“Pasta was amazing, and service was great. Gluten-free options of Penne, Spaghetti and Fusilli with 4-5 different sauces. The staff were clear that kitchen is shared and so not suitable for those with celiac, but they cook pasta separately and so fine for gluten intolerant/sensitivities. Also have a gluten-free brownie option which was also divine. Highly recommend when in Hồ Chí Minh City!”

Hội An

Cơm Linh – Vietnamese Restaurant

Location: Thành phố Hội An, Hội An

“Had Bun Cha which they removed the peanuts from. Very delicious, and the waitress was reassuring that there would be no peanuts present. Cheap too!! I didn’t have the Cau Lau, but they said they could remove the peanuts from that too.”

Hải Phòng

The Little Leaf Restaurant (Tiệm Lá Nhỏ)

Location: Cát Hải, Hải Phòng

“This place was so cute! Little hidden health food cafe in the heart of Cat Ba. Allergens were listed, and they were easily able to make accommodation’s for Ellie’s allergies!”
