Étant végétarienne, j'étais tout à fait désenchantée des restos viets. Une amie m'a fait découvrir celui-ci, & je suis tombée des nues. Ce sont les meilleurs plats viet que je n'ai jamais mangés, c'est addictif. J'y suis allée deux fois de suite & j'y retourne encore ce soir avec ma famille! J'ai envie de découvrir tous leurs plats, juste pour dire.

Donc même leur tofu est bon, pas trop mou & visqueux comme les autres restos. Il n'est pas dans le menu mais on peut remplacer toutes les viandes par du tofu. On peut aussi choisir notre niveau épicé pour tous les plats, de 1 à 5.

Le propriétaire est très sympathique & j'ai eu un excellent service les deux fois. C'est effectivement bruyant mais c'est le mauvais côté d'être un resto si populaire!

J'avais regardé les commentaires avant d'y aller & j'avais quelques appréhensions du côté du service. Finalement, surprise! Excellent service, très courtois & avenant. On a dû faire signe toutefois pour commander un dessert, peut-être avait-il constaté que nous avions suffisamment mangé! :)

Tout le monde a été très satisfait de leur repas. J'ai pour ma part pris un rouleau printanier aux crevettes & porc laqué (qui n'était malheureusement pas laqué mais quand même bon) & un cari au poulet à la saïgonnaise : vraiment très très très bon. Miam. Oh que je sens que je vais prendre ça la prochaine fois!

Le dessert (pomme frite) était correct sans plus, & surtout "de trop", j'avais mangé en masse déjà.

Paiement comptant seulement, & apportez votre vin-bière.

After some shopping in Rue St-Catherine we were dying for some good Asian food. You can bring your own wine in Cafe Saigon. Don't we love this?
The atmosphere was quite busy & noisy, but that didn't bother us. I think some people had a bit too much of the wine they brought ;-)
The place itself hasn't got a terrace or big windows, but there's plenty of space. You can breathe.
We ordered Pork & Shrimp Rolls with a groundnut sauce. Very nice. The other Springroll was also quite tasty. Good starters.
The General Tao Chicken was absolutely great. Crunchy & really tasty, served with some pretty good rice. The Red Chili Beef Noodles with fresh Mint, Cucumber & Carrots were also quite refined.
Very nice dinner for a correct price. We definetely recommend this little charming Vietnamese restaurant! Cheers.
