Best Vegan Food In Sihanoukville Goal
If you’re a vegan traveling around South East Asia, it can be challenging as many curries contain fish stocks and meat pans being used for cooking Vegan dishes, sadly! But Sihanoukville is expanding rapidly, and I thought it would be interesting to see how the vegan scene is.
Sihanoukville is quite a promising place in terms of vegan options, and you should be getting excited if you’re heading that way. There must be at least six or seven options for high-quality fresh Vegan food with fantastic ratings on this coastal haven.
So keep reading to find out exactly where to eat delicious Vegan food that will make you happy inside and out.
Where To Find Snacks
Look out for street food vendors as a lot will do vegan pancakes, grilled bananas, and freshly cut fruit. Every morning in Asia, I woke and would look for a fruit vendor and spend a couple of dollars on prepped fruit with sweet chili paste. The dried-out mango and pineapple was my favorite. You will find fruit vendors/sellers on beaches
Grilled bananas are great and so cheap, we’re talking maybe $0.30 for a portion of 5/6 bananas (Plantin). If you can find a banana vendor, your winning! Phsar Pinichicom & Phsar Leu or Upper Market are too good spots for picking up Vegan vendor snacks.
For the vegan pancakes, you will have to ask the street vendor if they are vegan? if there’s a language barrier, then you can get pancakes from Dao of Life, and their amazing!

The Starfish Bakery & Café
Great little chilled hang-out with homemade food, fresh juices, pastries, and sandwiches that are to die for! The service is excellent overall, with a lot of backpackers and ex-pats coming back for more.
The cafe’s design reminds me of an old Mediterranean French cafe in Marseille with its wicker chairs and high ceiling design. Definitely worth a look!

Sunset Lounge – Beach Restaurant
This resort is lovely, but you’ve also got to bear in mind that there is a lot of construction work going ahead around this area like the rest of Sihanoukville.
