This was my third time at this restaurant & I absolutely love the food!
The fried rolls are delicious & authentic, I order them every time I go. I've had the beef Pho soup which is very nice but I really enjoyed the the grilled beef dish with lettuce & Vermicelli noodles, so much flavour & really fresh when we roll the beef with the lettuce leaves, mint & Thai basil. Just like in Vietnam 🇻🇳!!!
Will definitely bring more friends to this little gem.
One strong recommendation is to improve the service. The service was a little slow at times & the servers were not really looking after us that much.
But overall excellent food & the atmosphere is quiet & calming. 🥂
Bistro CÔ ÚT is a fantastic spot for authentic & flavorful Vietnamese cuisine in Montreal. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere & a cozy bistro feel that makes the dining experience very comfortable.
The food is fresh, flavorful, & well-prepared with great attention to detail. Everything we tried tasted authentic & satisfying, with good portion sizes & a nice variety on the menu.
A special highlight was the Vietnamese coffee. We tried both the iced/cold Vietnamese coffee & the hot Vietnamese coffee, & both were absolutely amazing. The staff recommended them, & it was honestly one of the best parts of the visit-rich, strong, & perfectly balanced in flavor.
The staff were extremely friendly, attentive, & helpful, making great suggestions & ensuring we had a great experience from start to finish.
Overall, Bistro CÔ ÚT is a must-visit for great Vietnamese food, excellent coffee, & outstanding service. Highly recommended.
This restaurant was so delicious & the atmosphere & service were amazing! Everything we ordered was so fresh & high quality ingredients. The house made cocktails were so good too & very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this for a nice date night or out with friends to relax & enjoy amazing Vietnamese food! Our waiter was exceptional too!

We were totally blown away by the special menu - fresh shrimps with wasabi sauce! We loved the sauce so much that we dipped shrimp rolls with it instead of sweet sauce. Pho broth was good & beef was tender. We were happy with the service & ambience too.
The food is delicious!!! I ordered the imperial rolls (which were the first gluten-free ones I've been able to eat) & it was life changing! They were so crispy & delicious. All the food was fresh & the service was great!
Vietnamese cuisine is not about beauty look . It doesn't need to be presented in a fancy way, nor does it use too many rare ingredients. It is just simple & natural.
Fresh fine herbs roast beef rolls are very special. It's a bit complicated to eat. You can roll perilla leaves, basil leaves, mint leaves, Vietnamese noodles, pickled radish & beef with lettuce by hand. Dip into Vietnamese fish sauce, & it tastes so delicious. Not all Vietnamese restaurant has it.
The word "Bistro", allegedly, has come in to French language from Russian cossaks who came to Paris as a result of Napoleon's fiasco. & that word means "rapidly" or "fast". This - you cannot apply to Bistro CO UT. & this is my only beef with this place - we waited for almost an hour until our main course arrived. Now, all the rest about this place is, IMHO, very good to excellent, considering the price tag. The place is small - probably will sit 30 ppl at most, clean, comfy chairs, steady tables, spotless bathrooms, feng shui ambiance. Loved the ceiling lights enclosed in bird cages. Loved the picture on the wall I was facing while eating. They have a bar with a wide assortment of beverages. The food, to my taste, was excellent in every aspect - delicious, fresh & healthy - this combination is hard to come by. I had roasted pork with rice vermicelli & vegetables - delightful. I also had a chance to try one of their vegetable rolls - lightest, crunchiest, chewy, mouthwatering snack that came with a cup of sauce that I can only qualify as hot & spicy delight. As a result of this experience, I fell in love with Vietnamese cuisine. Service - outside of somewhat long waiting period - was impeccable. & waiting period, as I was explained by my Vietnamese friends, could be due to the fact that we've been there Tuesday night, when things are generally slow - kitchen is not fully staffed, so one cook does the whole line-up. & that cook sure knows his business well. Highly recommended.
