The Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Montreal

Meilleurs restaurants vietnamiens à Montréal : où les trouver ?

Montreal is known for its gastronomic diversity; eating in the city is like traveling around the world without stepping on a plane. In fact, the cuisine of most of the restaurants we visit is rooted in a different culture. That’s the beauty of it, we will never finish tasting everything, there will always be dishes to surprise us, in the good sense of the word of course! And today, we’d like to share with you our favourite Vietnamese restaurants in Montreal!

Did you know that half of the Vietnamese refugees who came to Canada between 1975 and 1978 arrived in Montreal? That’s why Montrealers rarely have trouble finding a Vietnamese restaurant where they can stop for a meal. Can you imagine a world without phở or bánh mì? We’d rather not think about it! Of course, there’s much more to Vietnamese cuisine than just these two popular dishes; a whole gastronomic universe exists beyond them, based on the traditions and ingredients found in Vietnam. In Montreal, Vietnamese recipes have been handed down from one generation to the next.

Although Vietnamese food is excellent 365 days a year, it is particularly welcome on colder days. It’s like a dose of medicine, but without the hassle of a prescription. You’ll need this list of some of the best Vietnamese restaurants on the island!

To satisfy your cravings for Asian cuisine, we also invite you to consult our list of the best Thai restaurants, as well as our list of the best Chinese restaurants in Montreal!

Enjoy your discovery!
