Great banh mi, great service. I am still thinking about the banh mi here after my Quebec city trip. It is really one-of-a-kind banh mi. I grew up in Vietnam so I know the taste from both the north & the south, & let me be clear, there is nothing called Authentic taste. The taste always varies, only the toppings are the same.

This place really tries to make banh mi to another level from an average street food / quick meal style. My speculation is that they try some French culinary techniques to make it meet the local standard. Firstly, the bread is really good. It is crispy but it melts in the mouth. Then, the butter feels slightly buttery & more likes scramble eggs. The overall taste is a balance of everything.

For most people, banh mi is definitely overpriced if they are used to the quick $5-$7 one from supermarket. Yet, for the effort they put in it, I think the price is fair.

The atmosphere is a bit small & furnitures are old 😀

Le menu est simple, la bouffe est INCROYABLE! Chaque bouchée est savoureuse. A coup sur mon coup de coeur du quartier.

Délicieuse cuisine vietnamienne authentique ! Nems & soupe Pho. Parmi les meilleurs que j'ai mangé.

5 dishes only but they saved my appetizer for the whole 5 days trip in Québec. I could not digest anything, perhaps the icy cold made my appetizer numb.
🦐The rolls for starting are the must, I could not resist.
🥖Bánh mì, I could finish 2 (the crispy crunch from the bread 🤌🏻 with the savory meat)
🍲 Pho is a bit salty soup for me, however, it was a kick to warm up my body.
☕? Vietnamese coffee, I finished 2 as well, so so satisfied.
*P/s: The owner is very cute, her hospitality welcomed me to this city.

Un sans-faute ! J'ai testé trois plats différents & tout était 10/10. Une cuisine vietnamienne authentique, savoureuse & très abordable. C'est ma plus belle découverte culinaire depuis longtemps. Je recommande à 100 % !
