Walking into Isec is like walking into a Buddhist monastery. Roughly-hewn wooden furniture and wafting ‘Om’ mantras humming in the air immediately soothe the soul. But Isec is an exciting new vegetarian restaurant, not a place of meditation, with some of the best cheap food going in Da Nang. It’s an incredible find and it’s classy too.

There’s plenty of elbow room at Isec and the furniture is geared to the larger Western frame. The whole space is a design triumph, more befitting New York or Paris in a funky Buddhist way.
