Biang Bistro - Da Lat

Good roast pumpkin salad fresh juice. difficult to complain. beautiful setting.

Had a nice meal here, though there are not many vegan options (falafel plate and gnocchi). Both were quite good, though the kim chi felt out of place on the falafel dish. One of the more expensive meals we had.

We want to preface this review by saying that we are not fussy eaters at all. Food is one of the main reasons we came to Vietnam and we don’t dislike anything and would call ourselves adventurous eaters. So, we had high hopes when we saw the Christmas set menu and decided to choose the vegan option to shake things up. However, it took over three painstaking hours to receive all 4 courses, none of which were pleasant as they were dry, undercooked and unseasoned. We had to ask for our main several times, and when it was brought out, it was ice cold. When we sent it back to be reheated, it was brought out again, just as cold as before (and featuring a hair It was honestly like the chef had either neglected to check the food quality and/or had never tasted vegan food in their life. We understand that this is likely a freak incident as this place has overwhelmingly positive reviews. After complaining several times, they offered free drinks as compensation, which we said wasn’t enough given how expensive the meal was 495k!! and in the end we also received 20% off. We are backpackers who decided to treat ourselves to a pricier special occasion meal but were sadly very disappointed. On a lighter note, the ambience is great and waitstaff are incredibly trendy.

Biang Bistro has the clearest menu we’ve seen in Vietnam. Little (v) next to all the dishes we could eat and they were some of the nicest breakfast foods we’ve eaten. Cinnamon porridge with poached pears and a mulberry compote! There were so many dishes we wanted to try and the setting is miles ahead anywhere else in town. It costs 2/3 times more than some of the other eateries but it’s a treat to relax in their stylish space.

The place is so lovely, the staff are really accommodating and could make most vegetarian dishes vegan by substituting eggs for tofu, would highly recommend the food was so fresh!
