| - This is the most beautiful and biggest Vietnamese restaurant in Montreal! Their decor is tasteful and modern, and if you have a large party, ask to be seated in the mezzanine upstairs where you're offered some modicum of privacy.
Our party had the beef 7 ways (2 people per order, but priced individually). The best part about eating beef 7 ways is making your own food! You get a salad, a congee, a beef cooked in vinegar fondue (you cook your own beef), and 4 types of grilled beef. A side of noodles, a basket filled with fresh herbs and lettuce, tray of rice paper, and a bowl of warm water are provided for you to make your own beef fondue and grilled beef spring rolls. Dip these rolls in either fish sauce or mam nem (a pungent shrimp sauce mixed with minced garlic, lemongrass, pineapple, and fresh squeezed lime sauce)- I recommend the mam nem, with plenty of crushed pepper garlic hot sauce, and slowly savor the fruit of your labor. Pair with green tea (served in a pot, priced per person). End with a fried bananas dessert.
We loved our food and tea. And the table next to us ordered grilled shrimp on sugarcane and said their food was great. So if you go there and had 3-4 persons, I suggest getting the beef 7 ways and an order of grilled shrimp.
