This is my favourite restaurant in Montreal. Been there so many times and I have never been disappointed! I grew up in a Vietnamese-Chinese household so a lot of these dishes remind me of home and my upbringing.
Decor and atmosphere : it uses a lot of stuff that reminds you of Vietnamese street food stands such as the chopsticks and old cans as utensils holders on the table. You can definitely feel the Viet vibes through the wall decor as well and the neon lighting above the bar. Love the open kitchen concept. However it can get very loud later in the evening.
Service: yes yes, the partners of this restaurant are hipster Vietnamese guys but don't be fooled! The service is great. No one being uptight or judgy. They explain to you the tapas system and food when you ask them.
Food: my favourite category. A lot of flavour and authentic as well. If I could, I would lick the plates clean. Okay fine! You guys caught me! I may have used my finger to clean the plate once. Or twice. Yes, it's that good. My favourite dishes are the snails, the raw beef salad, the mini crepes, the spring rolls. I haven't tried the pho spring roll but whoever orders that will never be my friend. That's a blasphemy.
Drinks: very tasty and refreshing. I appreciate it when they give you a list of different liquor they have. For example if you order a gin based drink, they let you choose which gin to add in your drink. I know you can do that at any bar but it's just a nice touch. The cute names don't hurt either.
Just go, trust me.
