After long hours of trekking and contemplating the breathtaking views in Sapa, the first thing you worry about could be a place to grab lunch or dinner. Indeed, restaurants with beautiful views, mouthwatering foods, plenty of Western and Asian choices are easy to find. Yet, apart from cuisines from your country, it is advisable to try traditional foods of the mountain area in the local way at restaurants on stilts. The experience could be much more than being just outstanding. It could be hard to find a restaurant exclusively for vegans, but some mountain cuisine such as bamboo rice, bamboo sprouts and dishes made of wild vegetables could satisfy demanding vegans.

Ta Van Restaurant, Victoria Sapa hotel

Located in the only up-market hotel in Sapa, this restaurant is not cheap but well worth a visit, especially if you have been traveling for a while and are kind of tired of Vietnamese food.  Whilst the restaurant offers an extensive menu, the most delicious cuisines are the Fondue or Raclette. Absolutely great stuff, especially when it is freezing outside!
