Une adresse prisée dans le vieux Montréal pour sa cuisine vietnamienne moderne, fraîche & colorée. C'est un restaurant de type « fast casual » qui revisite les recettes familiales traditionnelles avec une touche contemporaine. Ils proposent une version réconfortante de la soupe tonkinoise, incluant un bouillon de poulet ou végétarien. Ce que j'ai pris.
Leurs limonades maison sont particulièrement réputées pour être rafraîchissantes. J'ai expérimenté celle à la menthe & noix de coco. Une belle expérience. Le service laissait un peu à désirer mais je n'en ai pas tenu compte. Un lieu dans la catégorie instagrammable. Le décor est chaleureux,'cozy' & très coloré (avec des touches de rose & de belles murales). L'atmosphère y est décontractée ce que les propriétaires appellent la « Bún Vibe ». C'est un lieu idéal pour un lunch rapide entre collègues. C'est une excellente option si vous cherchez une cuisine saine, savoureuse dans le secteur historique de la ville.

Le propriétaire & sa famille sont des personnes exceptionnelles qui ont à coeur l'expérience client. La soupe au bouillon de poulet est exceptionnelle & le Tofu est délicieux. Je suggère les croustilles de crevettes en attendant votre commande.

Merci pour votre écoute. ❤?

EDIT: I have since updated my review after getting in contact with the manager who mentioned that they are working on the way that special requests/notes show up on their tickets because currently they are having an issue with this, & also offered me a complementary meal. Much appreciated!

Original review: Every time I order online for pickup I ask for no coriander/parsley, & every time I still have it on my food. Also this time they forgot my drink, insisted it was in the bag, I get back to my office & it's not there so I have to walk back. The food is great but the attention to detail is severely lacking.
