Eating out prices in Vietnam decrease slightly in March

The price index for eating out in Vietnam saw a slight decrease of 0.03 percent in March 2025 compared to the previous month, according to Vietnam’s Consumer Price Index. This minor decline had a negligible impact on the overall CPI.

On a year-on-year basis, the eating out sector increased by 1.22 percent compared to March 2024, reflecting the steady rise in prices over the past year. Despite the small month-to-month decline, eating out continues to be one of the contributors to inflation in Vietnam.

The decrease in March was driven by a slight drop in prices across the sector, including a minor reduction in the price index for dining at home.
