⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A hidden gem in Pointe-Saint-Charles!

We had such a wonderful experience at Le Petit Sao. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome & took great care of us throughout our visit.

The food was absolutely delicious-fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The grilled chicken bowl was generous, packed with fresh vegetables, herbs, & perfectly cooked chicken. Every bite was full of authentic Vietnamese flavors.

What made our visit even more special was how family-friendly the restaurant is. My daughter Sophia loved it! There was a little play & coloring area that kept her happily entertained while we enjoyed our meal, which is every parent's dream. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, & relaxed, making it perfect for families.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, bright, & thoughtfully decorated, creating a welcoming space where you instantly feel comfortable.

Thank you to the amazing team for the great food, kind service, & family-friendly environment. We will definitely be coming back & highly recommend Le Petit Sao to anyone looking for delicious Vietnamese food in Montreal!

Sophia gives it two thumbs up too! 😊 ❤?🍜🇻🇳

Vraiment sympathique petit resto, j'ai adoré la limonade au Litchi & le sandwich Bouddhiste; les saveurs vietnamienne étaient reconnaissables. Le service à été très rapide & le personnel attentionné. Je recommande.
