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.

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.

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!
