Chez Anh

Chez Anh is a tiny place that offers a big bang for your buck. The menu isn’t extensive (no grilled meat dishes for example), but if you’re just looking for the quintessential phở, vermicelli or banh mi, Chez Anh will blow your expectations out of the bowl. Because seriously, where else in North America can you get a small but decent size beef phở for $ 4.50? I ordered the large size for $ 6.50 and was absolutely satisfied. The soup was tasty but not too salty, the serving of rare beef slices was generous and the bean sprouts were crisp and fresh. I also tasted the BBQ pork banh-​mi and it’s perhaps the most delicious I’ve ever had in Montréal. Cautionary words if you are planning to go there: keep your group small (less than 3 people) and they are only open for lunch (until 3pm).
