Reviews describe Le Bay Ca Phe as delivering authentic Vietnamese flavors with pho that is light, aromatic, and deeply flavorful, and banh mi that many consider the best they have tried, with broth and meat quality repeatedly praised and bowls and vermicelli dishes noted for their tasty profiles. The atmosphere is applauded for being cozy, modern, and calm even when busy, though the space can feel small and tables a bit cramped and parking can be challenging on a busy artery. Service is repeatedly highlighted as fast, courteous, and attentive, with staff described as friendly and welcoming. Portions are often generous and value is considered good, especially with lunch deals, though a few reviews mention smaller portions compared to other cities. The menu offers vegetarian options like tofu and other plant based sides, and takeout is convenient for busy days. Overall, Le Bay Ca Phe is seen as a reliable, flavorful destination that many patrons intend to revisit.
The pho is soooo damn goooooddd one of the best I've ever had in the entire north east 🤩 the tai nam pho truly healed me after a long day, & their bay ca phe cocktail is such a treat! I will be back for more!
Bonjour,
J'adore aller au Bay Cà Phê. C'est un peu une cantine car elle est proche de ma job.
Si vous souhaitez y aller un midi, je vous conseille surtout les lundis & vendredis car les autres jours sont souvent plein rapidement.
Le service est rapide & les plats sont en accord avec le prix. Si vous aimez manger, je vous conseille la formule du midi qui contient une entrée & un plat.
Bon appétit!

I'm trying this eatery for the first time (Le Bay Café). Every dish was wonderful. The sauce was excellent. The special Pho was delicious. One of Montreal's best Pho, in my opinion. The service was timely & of high quality. I shall return once again
Longtemps voulu venir essayer ce restaurant que j'avais vu sur les réseaux sociaux!
Situé sur une artère assez achalandée, j'ai dû faire le tour 2 fois avant de pouvoir trouver un stationnement.
À l'intérieur c'est assez petit comme endroit & c'était presque plein.
Nous avons évidemment prix la soupe Tonkinoise avec l'os.
Le service est excellent & la soupe arrive très chaude (très bon point).
Le bouillon est très bon & le morceau de viande impressionnant, la soupe j'ai réussi à le terminer mais pas la viande.
Take out pour le restant.
L'endroit est assez bruyant & il faut hausser légèrement le ton.
J'aimerais bien essayer le cari la prochaine fois, elle a l'air excellente.

Hands down the BEST Banh Mi's I've ever tried! Had Banh mi all over the United States, Southeast Asia, & Canada & Le Bay Ca Phe absolutely SMACKS! 👏👏 I recommend the Torched Beef Flank. Buttery smooth & juicy. The bread was crispy & has a nice crunch to it. The marinade spread was beautifully executed throughout the entire sandwich. Has a generous layer of marinade spread without it overpowering the banh mi. Ingredients tasted fresh, portion is good, & I will be coming back the next time I visit Montreal.
Also, the service was great, she did a fantastic job being attentive to our table.
