The Best Vietnamese Restaurants for Pho in Montreal | Eater Montreal

"You don’t come to this no-frills Vietnamese restaurant in Brossard for the ambiance — you come for the broth that makes you close your eyes and sink into a sort of soup-induced zen. Beyond the beefy variants, there’s a chicken and lemon leaf pho, a grilled shrimp and vegetable option, and a hard-to-find vermicelli soup with snails (bún ôc). This isn’t officially pho (because of the broth and seasonings), but fits in nicely among the other noodle soups. The restaurant is also known for its other Vietnamese specialties, including steamed, savoury spheres of turmeric-hued pork, and shrimp cakes."
