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.

The beef rib noodle is the best! Raw beef noodle also suggested.

It's a nice restaurant. I liked the salad & pho beef. Everything was tasty. The coffee could be better.

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!

Delicious pho soup(had the rare beef) & grilled beef bun( vegetable spring rolls that came with it was meh) tofu vermicelli pho from one of our members was very yummy. Sizes were smaller than what we are used to in Toronto but items here were more fragrant.

WOW this place is so delicious, I'm so sad that it's not in my hometown (Toronto). As a vegetarian, it's not easy to find Vietnamese places that have options for me. But almost every dish has a protein option of fried tofu. I got tofu vermicelli & by default the fried spring rolls that come with it are vegetarian. Everything was SO delicious, & everyone I was with also loved what they got (beef pho, grilled beef vermicelli). Will definitely come back again next time I'm in Montreal! Vibe of the place was very cool & modern, & waiters were nice as well.
