Minh (the owner) & his wife are absolutely amazing people & have a fantastic restaurant! We come here at least once every time we are in Montreal. Everything that they serve is quality, delicious food. Their staff is very friendly & accommodating as well. Serving you authentic Vietnamese cuisine since the early 1980's.
Un incontournable montréalais pour la cuisine vietnamienne. Soupe Satay, rouleau de printemps, brochette de poulet, fruits de mer, tout est excellent.
Le service est attentionné & très aimable.
Ça fait 22 ans que je n'ai pu revenir mais revenu pour 2 jours, je me suis délectée. Excellent menu. Merci de votre accueil Minh, Ted & Linda!
Nourriture excellente & que dire du service. Le serveur nous a apporté des petits bols de soupe en guise d'échantillon pour nous aider à faire nos choix! À bientôt!
Nous avons A.DO.RÉ !!! La cuisine était extra, le poulet croustillant à souhait & enrobé d'une sauce caramélisée délicieuse. & le personnel tellement gentil & à l'écoute. Très belle première expérience culinaire de notre séjour canadien ! Merci 🙏💝✨?

One of the small group of restaurants that can accommodate a group of 90+ people. We had our Christmas party at Cafe Saignon & for us, what stood out was 1) the service. Very welcoming people, with staff that was ready & the food that came to the tables promptly. 2) Great variety of food. Their general tao was great, as well as their variety of soups! If you like Vietnamese food & looking to host a large group, I recommend.
It worth the quality & the friendly stuff, I give 5 stars for those! First time trying this restaurant with my friends, not a place that I wanna go back to asap, it's good but not so delicious for the price & the quantity (Some plate are little over priced) If you wanna try this place go for it but don't have high expectations.
