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.

Fresh & delicious food. We tried the pork spring roll, the beef banh mi & the viet cafe, all was excellent. Great service! Would go back for sure

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.

Ordered Pho & spring rolls on uber eats & it was Amazing! Hot, fresh ingredients & the broth is flavourful. Spring rolls were the best I've tasted.

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!

If you're searching for authentic Vietnamese cuisine, Pho Delight is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you step in, the warm, inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The menu is extensive, offering a wide range of traditional dishes, but the standout is undoubtedly their pho. The broth is rich & flavorful, simmered to perfection with aromatic spices that make every spoonful a delight. The beef slices are tender & the fresh herbs add a vibrant touch. The spring rolls are equally impressive, crisp on the outside & packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients inside. The cocktail drinks are also delightful, bright , colorful & unique flavors. Very esthetically pleasing & refreshing . Service is prompt & friendly, adding to the overall dining experience. The attention to detail in both the food & the ambiance makes it a gem in the heart of the city. Whether you're a pho aficionado or a newcomer to Vietnamese cuisine, this place is sure to impress. Highly recommend!
