Moc Chay
RestaurantNørregade, Odense
Meat-free Vietnamese on Nørregade — a short menu, low prices, and most of it goes out the door.
Illustration made with AI
Moc Chay cooks Vietnamese food without meat and does it without making a thing of it. The dishes are few, the prices low, and lunch is one of the best in that end of town.
Everything on the card is vegetarian or vegan, but that is not what the place advertises — it is simply how they cook. There is takeaway, and most of it is collected.
Open Tuesday to Saturday from eleven to seven. Closed Sunday and Monday. The house has no website — mocchay.dk is a placeholder page pointing at Instagram — so call ahead if you are coming a long way.
It suits a quick lunch, dinner to take home, and anyone looking for something green that is not a salad. Nørregade is in the northern end of the centre, a few minutes from the shopping street.
