La Petite Tonkinoise - Outremont

It is not fine cuisine and quite overpriced for average Vietnamese food. Terrace is gimmicky too, to be honest.

We were 3 couples and it was our first time at this restaurant. As soon as you get in you feel at home as It's a very small restaurant located on the 2nd floor, you can easily miss it. We let our waitress choose the food we were going to eat. We do that all the time and we have never been disappointed. She started with papaya salads, 1 Goi Tom and 1 Goi Bo, then 2 fish soup Canh Chua Ca and 5 main dishes, grilled pork, curry beef, sweet potato cake with shrimp, grilled fish with vermicelli and caramelized fish. We finished with 1 fried pineapple and 1 fried banana. Everything was excellent from start to finish. I highly recommend this restaurant. The best part is all that food cost $23/per person before tip. What more can you ask for. Oh yes, you can bring your wine. Bravo

Sat on the terrace, friendly waiter. Food is ok, nothing special. We had the papaya salad, fresh spring rolls, caramelized fish and a pork dish. Good value for money, $50 for two people excluding wine.

Resto vietnamien sans prétention. Petite terrasse au 2ème agréable. L'entrée de calmars est excellente. Les rouleaux impériaux sont délicieux. La soupe tonkinoise au bœuf savoureuse. Pas de la fine cuisine mais un très bon rapport qualité prix. Service courtois et sympathique.

I found this restaurant to be underwhelming. The food and atmosphere did not impress me, and I even found the live fish tank to be a bit unsettling.
