Customers describe Baan Lao as a welcoming halal fusion spot in Montreal where pho and banh mi along with skewers shine. The menu blends Vietnamese and Bangladeshi flavors with generous portions, fresh ingredients, and fair prices, earning praise for authenticity, lively vibes, and friendly, attentive service. Many reviews note a cozy, clean setting and a variety of dishes that work well for groups or families, with some extras like complimentary tea or a prayer space mentioned. A few experiences mention longer wait times or occasional unevenness in certain dishes, but the overall impression is of a reliable, approachable choice for halal Vietnamese and Bangladeshi cuisine.
Première visite au Baan Lao & certainement pas la dernière ! C'est le seul resto à Montréal que je sache à proposer des pho halal, & franchement, c'était une belle découverte.
La soupe pho au boeuf était savoureuse & bien équilibrée, avec un bouillon riche & parfumé comme il faut. On a aussi pris des brochettes glacées pour notre enfant de 2 ans, il a adoré - c'était tendre, goûteux, parfait pour les petits comme les grands.
Quand au service ,c'etait chaleureux, ambiance agréable, & surtout un menu asiatique 100 % halal, ce qui est rare à Montréal.
Je recommande vivement Baan Lao, surtout si vous êtes dans le coin de Pointe-Saint-Charles.

The food was amazing. The beef skewers were fantastic, & the pho, both chicken & beef, were superb & truly tasted authentic, even down to having bean sprouts & basil for garnish. I love that they serve Salaam Cola! One of the co-owners was working front of house & was very kind, & the service was 110%
I wish this business could branch out to all provinces. When in Montreal, this place is a must, regardless of if you eat halal or not.
Just want to highlight the fact that they are the ONLY 100% halal vietnamese restaurant in CANADA 🫡 & they are amazing. Highly recommend to anyone looking fkr good food, cozy & respectful atmosphere with great service & staff.
Une belle découverte ! Un restaurant vietnamien & bangladais halal où les saveurs sont au rendez-vous. Les plats sont délicieux, généreux & authentiques. Le personnel est très sympathique & accueillant. Je recommande vivement !
Une expérience exceptionnelle du début à la fin ! La nourriture est excellente, pleine de saveurs raffinées & tout est halal, ce qui est un gros plus pour nous. Mon mari cherchait un pho halal depuis des mois, & il a tout simplement adoré ! L'ambiance cozy rend le moment encore plus agréable, & le service est impeccable, attentionné sans être envahissant. On reviendra, c'est certain !

Halal Vietnamese & Bangladeshi restaurant
It's my first time to eat halal pho in Montreal. It's delicious & comes in a big portion. Fast service, clean establishment, & very close from the metro station (located on rue Charlevoix). Rizwan is very polite & friendly. Will definitely come again!
Lovely people, great food & all halal. Also, I noticed they don't stalk Coca Cola products, just bds safe products which is amazing. I'm not from Montreal but I plan to come back sometime. Thank you!
