My three kids & two parents ate here after AURA at the Basilica Notre Dame. The space is super cozy & clean & the food was excellent. We tried the Pho, Pad Pho, & Bun. We were very happy with the choice. The prices are much better than the bar-food options nearby & the food is better! The server also was very tolerant & helpful when we had an allergy question.

Bonne bouffe, super choix de repas. De grosse assiette. Seule bémol: j'ai eu très froid toute le temps du repas avec la porte d'entrée qui ouvrait & fermait & l'air climatisé était aussi allumé

DANGER. BEWARE. This is the THIRD time I find a foreign material in my food. The first time was a metal washer. I advised for SAFETY concerns they didn't seem to care & offered me a refund which I didn't accept, ridiculous I found metal in my soup! I thought they ask to see it, they explained where they thought it came from & that's about it.

Stopped going for a while then started again, not many options around there.

A few more times I would find chicken bits in a vegetable meal!

BUT Again in two meals we found some kind of wood/ceramic pieces that are NOT food. & of course the wood was at the bottom of the soup so ate two full meals with wood/ceramic at bottom! Pretty sharp edges. THAT'S THE LAST TIME. DISGUSTED.

& guess what else, someone in the kitchen must be sick because after two meals yesterday I'm sick like a dog.

This place is not safe & I have no idea if this only happens to me or if others choose not to advise. At this point it's a SERIOUS safety concern.
