Fodor's Expert Review Restaurant Hà

Located at the foot of Mount Royal, this unassuming but contemporary local hot spot serves some of the best Vietnamese fare in the city on one of the most enjoyable patios in Montréal. "Simple yet edgy" are the operative words to describe the menu here. Steamed buns attractively blackened with squid ink, ginger-carrot crispy tofu, and grilled chicken à la citronelle with napa cabbage are among the surprising novelties.  There is a second location at 600 rue William in Old Montréal.
