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.
I'm trying this eatery for the first time (Le Bay Café). Every dish was wonderful. The sauce was excellent. The special Pho was delicious. One of Montreal's best Pho, in my opinion. The service was timely & of high quality. I shall return once again
Longtemps voulu venir essayer ce restaurant que j'avais vu sur les réseaux sociaux!
Situé sur une artère assez achalandée, j'ai dû faire le tour 2 fois avant de pouvoir trouver un stationnement.
À l'intérieur c'est assez petit comme endroit & c'était presque plein.
Nous avons évidemment prix la soupe Tonkinoise avec l'os.
Le service est excellent & la soupe arrive très chaude (très bon point).
Le bouillon est très bon & le morceau de viande impressionnant, la soupe j'ai réussi à le terminer mais pas la viande.
Take out pour le restant.
L'endroit est assez bruyant & il faut hausser légèrement le ton.
J'aimerais bien essayer le cari la prochaine fois, elle a l'air excellente.

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.
This is indeed authentic Vietnamese. Loved the lunch service, amazing pho, & main dishes. The atmosphere is super zen & calm, even when busy! I would recommend for sure..!
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.
I am a vegetarian, & I had the lunch special with the vegetarian option of tofu. The rolls were fine filled with cabbage as expected, & moderately flavorful, but the dish was tasteless. Whenever I eat somewhere that is not vegetarian oriented, the tofu in a dish is typically tasteless. I would not go back.
Je suis allé dîner chez vous, & c'était ma première fois, vraiment tout était délicieux, PS, J'étais assis près de la fenêtre, & j'ai constaté que vos plantes étaient sur le point de mourir de déshydratation, je me suis permis de les arroser, même sauver leur vie!😜😜😜
