Good atmosphere and nice fresh food.
They have a separate vegan section in their menu. I had the vegan Tom Yum soup which was very delicious, and the green curry.

Charming Choc Dee!

Separate Vegan menu made ordering easy. Lovely setting, friendly staff and delicious Thai food. Warning - curry spice levels are high! We had medium and just managed to survive!

Pros: Separate Vegan menu, Friendly staff , Solid spice levels!

This place was fully booked. Given that the matildas were starting at 8pm, I think they got smashed with early orders and service was quite slow. Nevertheless, the food was very good. Separate vegan page on menu. Alcohol was very reasonably priced.

Delicious! 10/10

This restaurant had delicious food and an entirely separate vegetarian/vegan menu that specifies the items don’t have egg, fish sauce or dairy. We just specified vegan when ordering and they noted it down. So yummy but most dishes are $22-26 so a little expensive but so so yummy :)

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious food

Cons: Expensive

Great vegan Thai food

A great dinner option for vegans. There is a section marked Vegan/Vegetarian but it's basically all vegan. Got the fried rice and a peanut curry with coconut rice. Really yummy. Nice location next to the beach but the prices are higher as a result, that's standard though along the beach.

Good food, expensive price

We went there for my birthday and they have an impressive vegan menu. It is however very expensive. That is to be expected with the location. The meals were delicious, but no better than what you would pay elsewhere for half the price. Perfect for special occasion.

Pros: Great vegan menu, Nice food, Nice location and decor

Cons: Expensive

Great Vegan Options

Had dinner there last night and they have a full 2 page menu for Vegans and Vegetarians. But you should still state that you are vegan.

Food was great! Bit on the oily side but still fantastic. Make sure you get the coconut rice. Cost all up was around 80 for 2 curries, 1 serve of coconut rice and 2 drinks.

Pros: Vegan Menu, Friendly Staff, Fantastic Food

Cons: Price is a little steep but Palm Cove isn't cheap, Little too oily

Easy, tasty Thai

It's not cheap to eat in Palm Cove, and for a vegan, it can be a bit tricky. But Choc Dee is an exception. You don't need to make a reservation in advance or fuss about ingredients. The staff understand vegan, and the online menu clearly states they can cater for a wide range of dietary issues, including vegans.

The menu is very specific and lists fish sauce when it's been used in a dish. Many dishes have the option of getting tofu instead of meat, prawns or fish. They can even do vegan entrees such as the spring rolls. Coconut rice and jasmine rice are vegan anyway, and they can do the roti without butter. The massaman, padang and stir fries are fantastic.

You can order in or take away, and it's really a no fuss, easy and affordable option in a beautiful location. Highly recommended.

Pros: Lots of vegan friendly options, Don't need to ask a million questions, Affordable in a beautiful setting
