Le Bay Cà Phê is our go to for Vietnamese food. It's a great restaurant to eat at, very cozy atmosphere, conveniently located & the staff is so kind.
Its my favorite pho in all of Montreal, the base broths are so flavorful. The banh me are huge & come with a side of giant shrimp chips. Give they're juices (like mango & lictchi) a try.
We often call ahead for a pick up & it's ready in 10-15 min.

J'ai testé le menu du midi à 21$ en prenant les rouleaux imperiaux & l'assiette de poulet riz salade. Hormis le poulet qui etait bien cuisiné, le reste manquait vraiment de saveur. Surtout les rouleaux, pour le coup les vegetariens n'étaient pas bon. Dommage je m'attendais à mieux avec la note obtenu sur google.

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.
