Le Bay Ca Phe is a warm, bustling Vietnamese spot in Montreal where pho, banh mi and other fresh offerings consistently impress with flavor and value; the atmosphere is cozy and modern, and service is quick and attentive. While the place can be busy and a bit loud, especially at lunch, the menu variety, vegetarian options, and reliable quality keep diners returning, making it a solid choice for authentic Vietnamese cuisine and a memorable casual dining experience.

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.
Our favourite Vietnamese place! Phenomenal Pho & Banh Mi! Staff is kind & welcoming. Lunch special is a great option for warming yourself up on cold winter days.
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!
Delicious Vietnamese dishes in a cute & calm setting. Service was quick & friendly. We went on a Saturday night at like 6 pm & there was literally no one, but I've been other times where it was a lot busier. Will be back for sure!
I love authentic Vietnamese food, & this seemed promising from the appearance & high ratings, but it was disappointing. Worst fried rolls we've ever had. Dishes were lacking interest, & ingredient quality was sub par. Maybe use some fresh mint? Napkins were laughable, like toilet paper. Is that how you're trying to save money? I'll never forget that detail. Mayonnaise in the salad dressing is also not authentic (in my experience) & it's not a good choice. No option for leaving out fish sauce from the noodle salad dressing (partner is vegetarian) & soy sauce given as the alternative. This is a joke. Are you not making any sauces in-house? In short, the many issues here are all management decisions that could be fixed.
Le Bay is my favorite Vietnamese in the city, & a great neighborhood spot. The pho is great, the Bahn mi's amazing, spring rolls, rice dishes along with everything else I've tried is consistently good. On top of that the staff is always super friendly & a cool decor/atmosphere takes this place over the top.
