Moto Laurie — breakfasts and a vegan menu over the city

a breakfast

A cafe and bistro on a slope where the view belongs to the room rather than the terrace: upstairs the windows run the full height of the wall, with the roofs and hills behind them, fabric draped across the ceiling and tables lined up along the glass. The kitchen is European: breakfast and brunch until 4pm — a big English breakfast, shakshuka, eggs Benedict with salmon, ham and cheddar toasties. A separate page holds an entirely vegan menu that runs all day: bagels on their own buns with cashew cream cheese and carrot 'bacon', an English breakfast without a single animal product, a Buddha bowl.

Worth knowing. Breakfast is served 8am–4pm, the vegan menu until 8:30pm, and the cafe closes at 9pm. Coffee comes off an espresso machine: americano 45k, cappuccino, latte and caramel macchiato 65k, egg coffee and affogato 75k₫; soy milk on request. Vegan dishes are 155–235k₫. VAT is included, but paying by card adds a 3.3% bank surcharge — cash works out cheaper. Downstairs there are two rooms, the homely one with checked tablecloths and another with the coffee sideboard, and outside there are tables under an awning and a large umbrella with the same panorama.
