La Belle Tonki... Ça fait plusieurs visites que je fais, mais c'est le temps pour un review!
Honnêtement, si j'avais juste 3 adresses à donner à quelqu'un qui visite Montréal, j'inclus La Belle Tonki. Pas juste parce que c'est délicieux & que l'ambiance est cool, mais les prix des plats sont vraiment accessibles & permettent d'avoir une soirée qui feel'on sort à un beau resto un peu fancy' mais sans la facture qui fait mal! Tant pour une date que pour sortir avec des amis ou la famille, c'est un endroit parfait pour toute occasion.
On sent vraiment la passion des restaurateurs dans les plats : des saveurs balancées, des fusions bien pensées, une variété qui peut plaire à tous les goûts... À chaque fois que j'y vais & qu'on discute de notre plat coup de coeur, je suis surprise de constater que tout le monde a une réponse différente, & il y a toujours un plat qui fait dire à quelqu'un'je n'ai jamais rien goûté de tel!' & ça, c'est un beau feeling pour les foodies!
Bref, à essayer absolument :)
La Belle Tonki is easily one of my favorite spots in Montreal! Every dish is packed with flavor, creative, & beautifully presented.
A must-order is the Papaya À La Playa-it's incredibly fresh, crunchy, & perfectly balanced with sweet, savory, & spicy flavors. The Drip Tonki Roch Burger is another standout. The crispy chicken, saté drip sauce, pineapple chutney, & soft brioche bun come together perfectly, making every bite unforgettable.
Don't skip dessert! The Pandan Crème Brûlée is silky smooth with a subtle pandan aroma that makes it unique & delicious. & the Bueno Bueno Roti is pure comfort food-crispy roti loaded with hazelnut spread, creamy filling, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, & crunchy hazelnuts. It's the perfect way to end the meal.
This Vietnamese-inspired Asian fusion cuisine atmosphere is fun & welcoming, the staff are friendly & attentive, & you can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. I'll definitely be coming back!
La Belle Tonki is an absolute gem. From start to finish, the entire experience was fantastic. The service was excellent, & despite them not taking reservations, the wait was only about 15 minutes, which was very manageable. The atmosphere is top-notch, as the decor is super nice & sets a great mood.
We started with their home beers, specifically the Cinq Dix & La Juicy Tonki, both of which were delicious. The Papaya à la playa was a true standout; it tasted incredibly close to what my Cambodian grandmother used to make when I was young. It was super flavorful, fresh, & is definitely a must-order. We also really loved the Carpaccio.
For our mains, we had the Burger Drip Tonki Roch & the Morue Amok. Both were awesome, fresh, & packed with flavor, & I highly recommend ordering either of these. We finished the night with the crème brulée au pandan, which was the perfect way to end the meal.
Everything we had was wonderful & I will definitely be coming back. I also love that they participate in the Défi Zéro Déchet; it is great to see a restaurant so committed to sustainability. Highly recommended!
Every dish was somehow better than the next. Came here with a group of nine & the staff were incredibly accommodating, friendly, fun, & polite. I was so impressed!
J'ai été au restaurant hier pour la première fois avec des amis & c'était vraiment super. Bon service & la nourriture était tellement savoureuse! Je recommande le drink Yu&Me, l'entre de carpaccio, ainsi que le poulet popcorn. Comme repas j'ai pris la soupe pho bo & elle était bonne. J'ai ajouté de la sriracha & de la sauce oisin & c'était parfait. Je vais y retourner sans aucun doute.
