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.
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.
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.
Chanced upon this restaurant while on a quick visit to Montreal & this one is a true gem! The beef rib pho is to die for! It's a cozy spot with great ambience & lovely music. Maya was our server & she was just so kind & warm! :) Definitely coming back!
Really love this place, cozy vibes, good service & great food. Just wish they'd stay open past 9pm, & their tables weren't so stuck together (it's hard to go in & out of the banquette due to the size of the tables). We found their cucumber salad too salty/one note. Otherwise, the mini beef pho, chicken spring roll, & the tofu vermicelli bowl all delicious. Not to mention those tasty desserts!
