Our Story

Welcome To Anchan

Anchan Vegetarian Restaurant

Vegetarian food so delicious you won’t miss the meat! It was the motto of our restaurant from day one and this idea is engrained in every creative thought, every new creation and challenge that crosses our path.

Out of all the kitchens in the world, the cuisine of South East Asia, in my opinion, is most suitable to make delicious vegetarian/vegan meals. The food relies heavily on developing flavor through the use of spices, roasting them, turning them into chili pastes, curries, soups, marinades and dry rubs, rather than meaty broths and stocks. The balance of sweet, sour, salty, and bitter flavors in SE Asian cuisine – with the added benefit of a bit of chili – is sure to tantalize your taste buds.

In South East Asian food, a tasty meal surely doesn’t rely on the use of animal protein alone. Also, there are so many healthy and tasteful substitutes available; there really is no excuse for producing a bland meal. From tofu and seitan to tempeh, over beans, lentils and other pulses, to mushrooms and hearty cabbages… the alternatives are plenty.
