try this place:

Café Banh Mi Linh (Metro Jarry)

8084 Lajeunesse


-No MSG!


- they don't have a huge selection, but for what they make.. it's damn good


-broth made from real meat and bones


-100% family operated


-it's connected right into Metro Jarry


-they definitely make the best subviet (viet submarines) and best pho

Wow, Pho Lien . . . where I met my girlfriend (but I only had a beer--more fool me! I'll have to go back).

@Jude the "Banh Mi" in the title refers to what you call "subviet" (which is a new one for me. cute!)

this city is packed with awesome vietnamese pho joints, pretty much all of them family or individually owned by people who take their food seriously (enough to not need MSG, btw. ;)

@Nicholas definitely worth trying out. It was my fave for a long while before moving on.

I'm actually Vietnamese and this is the best Pho restaurant I've been to in a while :)

I've tried Pho Lien a few times and I was so sick after because I think they put so much msg in there soup. So my friend (who's vietnamese) recommend me a small restaurant on cotes des neiges street named Dao Vien vnow it's my turn to recommend it to you, it's definitely the best vietnamese restaurant in Montreal :)

The best place to go for the TRADITIONAL vietnamese soup is BUN VIET (Bun = Vermicelli and Viet = Vietnamese's). The restaurant is located near by St-Hubert and Jean-Talon corner. It is on St-Hubert. A family operated business. All vietnamese go here for a great taste of soup (5 kinds). The restaurant is face to the Payless Shoe store on ST-Hubert.

I second the comment about Bun Viet restaurant. I have yet to find any other place in Montreal that serves very authentic soups like this. Bun Viet is to die for.
Hu Tieu is very hard to come by in Montreal. All the places in China town and on Cote-des-Neiges cater to what they think the masses want. They serve pho, maybe a chicken soup, and nothing else unique is on the menu. Boring! Do these restaurant owners ever travel outside Quebec to see what vietnamese restaurants in other cities are doing? Montreal is always known for its fine restaurants, but people are really missing out. We're living in a bubble and don't care to know anything different.

I used to love this place, but seriously, the service is crap and makes all the difference. Now, my #1 go-to restaurant when I'm in a dire need of vietnamese food is Hoai Huong. Highly recommended!
