Pho Bac se concentre sur la préparation de soupes vietnamiennes authentiques et de bols de nouilles de riz traditionnels. Le menu met en valeur des bouillons d os de bœuf et de poulet mijotés lentement avec de l anis étoilé, de la cannelle et du gingembre. Les clients personnalisent leurs bols avec des pousses de soja fraîches, du basilic thaï, des tranches de piment jalapeno et des quartiers de citron vert fournis à chaque table. Au-delà des soupes de nouilles emblématiques, l offre comprend des rouleaux de printemps croustillants et des assiettes de vermicelles à la viande grillée servis avec une sauce de poisson relevée. L aménagement intérieur privilégie une approche fonctionnelle conçue pour le service rapide de plats chauds. Les tables en acier inoxydable et les assises minimalistes soulignent la nature pragmatique de l expérience culinaire proposée aux clients.

My family & I were drawn to this restaurant when we walked past it & the aroma coming from it practically dragged us in there, & unsurprisingly, the food here did NOT disappoint. The pho & the crispy noodles were the best I've ever tried & for an amazing price. If I ever come by to montreal again, I will no doubt stop by Pho Bac again, it was truly the highlight of my trip!
Authentic pho 100%. I'm from the west coast, visited in 2019, had a bowl that made me want to come back for round two. Finally got a chance to visit in Oct 2024. Unlike most places, the broth here is hearty & not overly salty, the meat is tender, & the proportions are extremely generous. An XL bowl size is a good amount of food to share with someone. Hai, one of the people who work there, actually remembered me from five years ago. We had a good chat before we left. I'm writing this review from Vancouver because I'm hungry & thinking about Pho Bac. I can't wait to go back. This is the place for pho. It's just incredible.
We chose Pho Bac on a whim after a quick search while visiting Montreal, & wow, we were not disappointed. The food was amazing, the service was great & helpful. Would definitely recommend it to anyone that wants a great Pho, that's full of flavour & very delicious.
Restaurant with around 30 tables on bld. St Laurent since 27 years. The little details count to maintain a loyal & satisfied clientele in these crisis times, knowing that I have tried ALL the tonkinoise restaurants in St Laurent (in the surroundings of the quartier chinois) & this is my prefered spot. There is also a big variety of other Vietnamese dishes. This is one of the rare places that includes tea, which is more than enough for one person. It can be repeated as needed. But also each table has its own napkin dispenser, without being stingy & having to ask for another one every time, as is the habit everywhere in these days of economic restrictions. & since the specialty is tonkinoise & my favorite dish (a medium beef is $16), it is abundant, tasty & well seasoned bouillon. With large portions of meat, dressings, according to specialty, in a pleasant, bright & clean place. By now, the parking spots are very rare, for the street reparations. I have always been lucky because the waiters have been diligents, helpful & available. For all this, I return every time I visit Old Montreal... !
