To Dinette Viet is the Plaza's newest foodie destination: a modern Vietnamese canteen celebrating authentic street food, local flavors, and a warm atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home. Comforting dishes, a welcoming team, and an energy that brings the neighborhood to life.
Tô dinette viet is described as a fresh, welcoming spot on the plaza where the food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. The beef dish with bread is singled out as excellent and a reason to return. Service is noted as friendly and attentive, and the chef's passion for ingredients and traditions shines through every plate. The menu is praised for authentic, flavorful Vietnamese flavors with dishes like Bun Riêu, Goi Ga, Bo Ne and Banh Cuon, and although Banh Cuon can be controversial due to its small-batch preparation, its freshness and handmade quality are appreciated. The Bo Ne with egg and pate arrives hot and leaves the plate clean, described as serious business rather than something quick and industrial. Overall, the experience feels genuine and comforting with a convivial atmosphere, and diners say they would definitely go back for more.
Stumbled onto this place while walking on the street - even though it was 5:30 pm on a Saturday night & I had no reservation I was welcomed in to sit at the back bar. What a delightful surprise - great food at a great price, great atmosphere, & truly nice crew (I met a new waiter - his first day on the job - the house manager, & the chef, all of whom briefly chatted with me.)
On waiter Brandon's recommendation, I ordered the Cahn Ga (chicken wings) appetizer & was instantly hooked - among the best I've ever had! Generously sized, three big wings with perfectly cooked, tender meat in a delicious crisp coating, subtly spiced with a bit of sauce & herbs. It was so good I ended up ordering a to-go order to bring home to my wife! At $8 per order this was an absolute deal.
Also at his suggestion I had the main course soup, Bun Rieu - a generously portioned & lovely bowl (see photo) that featured a tangy (but not spicy) red broth with herbs & vegetable garnish, lots of vermicelli-like soft rice noodles, satisfying slices of baked tofu, & featuring unusual (& tasty)'meatballs' of mixed ground pork & crab paste, which filled me up quite happily.
In talking to chef Galaxy (as he introduced himself) I learned that his goal was to bring reasonably priced Vietnamese'street food' to the public, being mindful of how difficult it is to present affordable & tasty food to the neighborhood in these times. I'd say he succeeded admirably!
The decor was vibrant & fun - colorful paper lanterns, a lovely & inviting entrance full of Vietnamese signs & memorabilia, & a cheery if deliberately low-key vibe. & pleasant, not-too-loud background music, a big plus.
As one of the customers leaving as I went it said, this place has great, authentic food. I'll be back. I'm no expert on Vietnamese street food, but I know what well-executed & delicious, good quality food at a good price can be. This place hits the mark.
Très mauvaise acceuil samedi midi la fille nous à agressé direct verbalement il y avait de la place mais d'un ton agressif elle'ous dit'on je suis seul dommage pour elle je re recommande pas cet endroit nous sommes allés à la concurrence plus accueillant & cuisine délicieuse 🤮🤬👎🏾👎🏾
Disappointing experience today at lunch time. Resto was half full at 12:30, we were seated immediately on one of the low plastic tables & stools. The ambiance is instagrammable, true to the theme with lots of cute decor. Unfortunately the service left much to be desired. Seemed like one person was serving the whole restaurant but the delay appeared to come from the kitchen. Items were missing from my order. Food took an hour to arrive. The flavors were there & the price was fair but honestly not worth the detour. At the end of the day there are better (albeit few) options for authentic street food in Montreal. I was influenced by many IG posts showcasing this resto… learned my lesson
There was no pâte on the Bo Ne, so it was 23 dollars for bread & some pieces of beef & a fried egg. The waitress was useless & rude. Cute atmosphere though & the male waiter was probably more competent.
I really wanted to go here & saved it in my list . Me & my friends came from far to support the restaurant . We skip working. Check on Google the restaurant is open . We come on Tuesday at noon . & when we arrived then it closes & they put on the door the opening hour difference with on google ( Monday & Tuesday they only open from 5pm )- so it's not an unexpected closing for them ) . We called the restaurant but no one picked up the phone . We are very disappointed. Please make it clear about this . We parked the cars even though it's difficult. Paid for 2 hours thinking of enjoying the foods soon. I always put 5* for restaurants- never put 4* for any restaurant. But this time I change to 3* . You know it's important to have review on google then put the opening time exactly for the clients . It's Montreal .
Delicious food & cool street food vibe in the middle of Plaza St Hubert. Menu may be limited but any choice is delicious & abundant.
We ordered 2 appetizers : Bánh tôm (4 pcs of double shrimp on sweet potato matchsticks) & Canh Gà 👍👍👍 (suoer savory chicken wings). We were already stuffed !
For our main courses, we had : Th?t Rim M?m S? (braised pork, fried egg, & rice) &
Bò Né (sizzling lemongrass beef & homemade beef/pork paté, fried egg, & rice. To tip the scale, we finished with their
Cà phê s?a ?á (Vietnamese iced coffee).
A fantastic foodie adventure & definitely worth a visit ! Gotta return for their Banh Cuon & Bún Riêu soup !
I truly love the food here, from the beautiful presentation to the deeply authentic flavors in every dish. This was actually the first restaurant I visited after landing from my trip to Mexico, & it was the perfect meal to come back to. After traveling, it felt so comforting to enjoy such fresh & flavorful Vietnamese food.
All the dishes here are simply outstanding. Each bowl & plate tastes carefully prepared, balanced, & comforting-just like the food from Vietnam.
What makes this place even more special is that the chef Galaxy is Vietnamese & cooks with a genuine passion for authentic cuisine. You can truly feel that dedication in the flavors, the ingredients, & the attention to detail in every dish. It's rare to find a restaurant that stays so true to traditional Vietnamese cooking while also presenting the food so beautifully.
You have the amazing kind waiter Aaron Who know well the menu & give great recommendation.
For me, discovering a place that captures the real taste of Vietnamese brings so much joy. Every visit feels warm & familiar, almost like sitting down for a homemade meal. The gentle & peaceful décor, inspired by a simple hometown atmosphere, makes the experience even more comforting & relaxing.
I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates authentic flavors & heartfelt cooking.
What a gem of a place & the same goes for the people that make it so! Authentic, humble, cozy, welcoming. It's one of those places you walk into out of curiosity & end up forgetting where you are on the world map completely. & it's totally fine that you keep ordering food & drink just to have a reason to stay there because it's so affordable! I dare you to go try the chicken wings & not get a second or third serving of it with a nice cold Tsingtao.
I'll be back chef Galaxy. Zo!
Incredible place with incredible food! It's worth the visit. Everything is freshly handmade to order & I saw the craftmanship when I saw a sneak peak of the kitchen.
Staff is super friendly & they will take the time to answer your questions. I'll definitely come back :)
Everything was super delicious, but here are my top 3 recommendations :
- ailes de poulet/ chicken wings
- beignets de crevette & patate douce / shrimp & sweet potato fritters
- boeuf à la citronnelle & oeuf / lemongrass beef & egg
