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.
Ordered the Pho Bò & Tom Yum soup -delicious & scrumptious. Absolutely also loved the fresh spring rolls, especially the dipping sauce. Service was attentive & excellent - all in a beautiful atmosphere. A definite return on our next visit to Montreal.
Never disappoints. Favourites are the spring rolls, which come in a pretty basket & the Tom Yum, which was fresh & flavourful. Cocktails are also great.
Montréal's Bistro CÔ ÚT is a culinary treasure, where every dish tells a story. Their Chef's Pad Thai is a vibrant tapestry of flavors, weaving together the perfect blend of spices, textures, & aromas. It's like a joyous dance of taste in every bite. The Tom Yum soup is a soulful melody of spicy & sour notes, a comforting hug in a bowl that awakens the senses. & those spring rolls? Absolute perfection - crispy on the outside, packed with fresh, flavorful fillings. Beyond the food, it's the warmth & friendliness of the staff that truly sets this place apart. They don't just serve meals; they serve smiles, making every visit memorable. Hats off to Bistro CÔ ÚT for an unforgettable dining experience!
It was really delicious! Never had pho in a stone bowl before & it just made the beef noodles so much better when it is boiling hot! Very fresh ingredients, very nice ambiance, thanks for a great dinner 😊
An amazing neighbourhood restaurant!! We've been coming here for a while & each & every dish is delicious filled with fresh ingredients & so flavourful. Staff is friendly & always aims to please. Will be back!!!
Dinner at CO UT was a wonderful experience on all levels. The restaurant is in a quiet neighborhood near to Fontaine Park, which was an advantage for walking to a concert in the park after dinner.
The dishes were all fresh & delicious, including dessert; service was friendly; the owner & staff gracious & accommodating.
The setting is welcoming & informal; the interior sophisticated yet uncluttered; bamboo & other plants are set throughout; the hued walls decorated with original art.
Exceptionally fresh ingredients, lightly prepared, & veggie-forward. The papaya/mango salad was deftly made with just a hint of mint. Very pleasant atmosphere & gracious service. So glad to have this restaurant in the neighborhood.
Another amazing dining experience. Their food is always fresh & delicious. The staff aims to please & it's our go to neighbourhood restaurant. A must is their imperial rolls-WOW!!!
