Nous sommes arrivés un peu tôt en fin d'après-midi car nous ne voulions pas manquer la finale de l'Omnium international de tennis. Le service était impeccable & la nourriture à la hauteur de nos attentes. Le PadThai était simplement délicieux & épicée juste à point. C'est un endroit idéal à cause de ses heures d'ouverture pour les amateurs de tennis, ce n'est qu'à 13 minutes de marche du stade IGA.

As dedicated Pho-lovers whose old Pho place kinda fell by the wayside, we are actively on the hunt for a new place we can haunt on the regular.

We found Gaia by Googling'best Pho in Montreal'. It popped up in the top 3 results in several searches. The reviews were great & it isn't far from the Jean Talon Market, where we already planning to go anyway, so we decided to hit two birds with one stone.

The restaurant itself is very cute. It's filled with old, gaudy furniture that is strangely charming & adds a little something different to the atmosphere. The waitstaff were incredibly friendly & prompt. We were seated & served immediately.

The menu has a large selection without being excessive. The only thing I didn't like - which I realize is petty on my part - is the fact that doesn't explain what each dish consists of. I don't eat things like cilantro, tripe, etc which many Pho restaurants use so I had to ask to make sure my order didn't contain these items.

I ordered the Soupe Tonkinoise with rare beef. It was spectacular! It came in a huge bowl & the broth was full of flavour & extremely tasty. The server gave us Sriracha & Hoisin sauces but neither were necessary. It was perfect exactly the way it was.

We loved it! Is it the best Pho we've ever had? No. But it's pretty damn good & we would definitely eat here again.
