About

Le Bay Ca Phe emphasizes the intricate balance of authentic Vietnamese culinary traditions paired with the modern cafe culture found in urban settings. The menu centers on meticulously prepared bowls of phở and aromatic bánh mì featuring crusty baguette rolls packed with savory proteins, pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs. A selection of robust Vietnamese coffees provides the necessary caffeine kick through rich, sweetened condensed milk profiles. The interior aesthetic prioritizes functional simplicity, creating a streamlined environment that facilitates quick service and focused consumption. Patrons interact with a concise, high-quality offering that emphasizes texture and deep, layered flavors rather than unnecessary complexity. Every component reflects a disciplined approach to preparation, ensuring consistency across every served item within this specialized space. This establishment maintains a commitment to accessible, vibrant food that remains deeply rooted in traditional Southeast Asian methodology.

Le Bay Cà Phê is our go to for Vietnamese food. It's a great restaurant to eat at, very cozy atmosphere, conveniently located & the staff is so kind.
Its my favorite pho in all of Montreal, the base broths are so flavorful. The banh me are huge & come with a side of giant shrimp chips. Give they're juices (like mango & lictchi) a try.
We often call ahead for a pick up & it's ready in 10-15 min.

The food was not great at all, unfortunately. The spring roll was nice & fresh with a great sauce but the noodles/shrimp proportion was off.

The fried wontons were absolutely terrible & tasteless inside (beef) & the beef banh mi was more bland than not with too many big chunks of cilantro & the carrots shredded too thinly. I love banh mi but I did not love this one. All in all I do not think I would return nor would I recommend it.

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.

Wonderful restaurant!

Like everything else prices when up & its ok. But getting a bánh mi that I can see parts with no meat. The portions really have changed. The rolls are still very good & the coffee is made with Café du monde( New Orleans legend)

Got the Banhmi to take out. It costed me 17 dollars after tax & tip Size of the Banhmi was pretty small for the price & didn't even have any Pate in it. It was just an okay sandwich definitely not worth the price.
