Old Montréal · rue Notre-Dame Ouest · courthouse
Vietnamese restaurant in Old Montréal
At 237 rue Notre-Dame Ouest, between the courthouse and Place d'Armes, since 2020. The Petit Sao where Old Montréal and downtown offices come for lunch, and where people have dinner before a show.
Why people come back
Fast at lunch, good at dinner
At lunch, the neighbourhood's law firms, consultancies and studios fill the room: grilled chicken banh mi for 13.50 $, bún bowl, large chicken pho for 17.50 $, or the lunch menu for 17.95 $. Ordering online for take-out skips the line between noon and 1 pm.
Evenings are calmer: wine, cocktails, rolls to share, Phở Santé with zoodles. Book online, handy before the Centaur, Place des Arts or a night in the Old Port, ten minutes on foot.
Many of our catering orders for downtown offices also leave from here: labelled lunch boxes, banh mi platters, the G Sao Buffet for 15 to 20 people.
