About us
A lot of people asked me: Why Bananier ? Here is the story...
Have you ever smelled a steamed banana leaf? This unique scent will forever embody a flurry of my childhood memories, instantly unlocking flashbacks of the beautiful Asian continent, its unique dishes, vibrant market stalls, and trendy restaurants. Growing up, this same sweet leafy aroma led me to the kitchen, intrigued by my Ba Noi’s (grandmother's) culinary concoctions. A family passion for cooking passed on from generation to generation, my father introduced me to Thai flavor, technique, and creativity. Soon after, my parents guided me through the entrepreneurial challenges of their own restaurants, L'Escale a Bangkok and Red Thai, from staffing to sourcing, and from plating to customer journey.
Twenty more years alongside our city’s most amazing cooks and restaurateurs, inspired by childhood recipes and my own, I finally bring you "Bananier Resto-Bar"!
You'll be able to find me in the front hall, running in and out of the kitchen. You'll also catch a glimpse of Papa Ngoc and Mama Ly in the kitchen.

Over the years, I've had many meals at Le Bananier with family & friends. We have always enjoyed the food & the service is usually very good.View more

The restaurant is nice & the food is good, but not great. I was disappointed that they do not have baby high chairs, so we had to hold our 9-month old the whole time. Not recommended for people with babies.View more

Nice quiet dinner with a friend with friendly staff & above average asian delicacies to share. Nice time but lacking atmosphere & a little too quiet for a Saturday evening. Maybe some music? Prices are above average.View more

J'ai été déçu par mon dernier passage au Bananier, restaurant auquel j'allais fréquemment à l'ouverture il y a déjà plusieurs années. La qualité a diminué drastiquement (si tu aimes le céleri & les crevettes non-déveinées tu seras servi) & le goût insipide des plats n'inspire pas la vraie cuisine thaïlandaise. Les commentaires récents sont très justes: ça goûte en effet comme"your friends stir-fry" & ça ne vaut pas les calories & le prix (au thai express/panda thai c'est huileux aussi, mais bon & abordable au moins). Je suis restée avec un goût amer tant à cause du pad sew brûlé que le prix.View more
