Nguyen Phi is widely praised as a top pho spot in Montreal, with reviewers highlighting rich, flavorful broth, generous portions, and good value. Fresh rolls with shrimp and crisp greens are consistently enjoyable, and the pho experience is described as comforting and authentic, though some note a sweeter broth. Service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is cosy with simple green decor and even a fish tank that adds to the relaxed vibe. Many patrons are repeat visitors who appreciate consistent quality and fresh ingredients, and the place is often cited as one of the best Vietnamese options in the city. A few caveats appear, such as occasional items being unavailable or preferences for less sweetness, but these do not significantly detract from overall satisfaction. Overall, Nguyen Phi comes across as a beloved, reliable go-to for pho and Vietnamese fare.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Overall, Le Bar à Croissant receives high praise for exceptionally fresh, flaky croissants and a wide range of pastries, with standout items like brioche and pistachio-filled treats alongside solid coffee. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as warm, inviting, and well designed, with the recent boutique feel and a cozy tasting area noted by many. The staff are frequently described as friendly and attentive, though some reviews mention busy times where service can feel less personal. The new location and ambiance are highlighted as a plus, attracting visitors from nearby cities and beyond, with several calling the croissants among the best in Quebec and even Canada. Pricing is seen as premium but often justified by quality, though a few note occasional shortages near closing and tables that are less accessible for mobility-impaired guests. A few criticisms include laptop-heavy seating crowding and occasional shortages of pastries, but overall Le Bar à Croissant stands out as a top destination for croissants in the area and a must-visit for pastry lovers.View restaurant profile
