Veggie spring rollsall the crunch, no meat

The nem, veggie style

Same crunch, a vegetable filling

The veggie nem keeps everything we love about a nem: the thin wrapper that cracks under your teeth, the tender heart, the fingertip grab. Only the filling changes — fragrant vegetables, no meat.

Fried and golden, it's nothing like a fresh spring roll served cold: it's a nem, a real one, arriving hot and crisp, in the spirit of Southeast Asia's street stalls.

Veggie nems in three minutes

Order, crunch,go

A bit of buzz outside, the kitchen in sight, and nems that show up before you've had time to wait: the night-market spirit, Aix edition.

    Ask for them at the counter

    Veggie nems on their own, or next to a box made of one base and one flavour: point, pair, and off we go.

    Into the bag they go

    Most orders leave to take away: the nems travel with the box, to the office, a bench in town or back home.

  3. Asian Road's yellow illuminated sign, “La route des saveurs”
    03

    Or stay under the sign

    A few seats, to crunch your veggie nems while they're still hot, under the sign of the road of flavours.
