Pho Dau Bo Restaurant

"Any true pho lover in Calgary will tell you Pho Dau Bo is a must-try. The casual spot on International Avenue serves up a wonderfully aromatic broth, which shines especially well in the famous oxtail variation. There’s also a smattering of other traditional Vietnamese dishes, like bo tai chanh (shaved raw rib-eye with herbs, fried shallots, shaved white onion, lime vinaigrette, and raw quail’s egg) and bo la lot (seasoned ground beef wrapped in lolot leaves and grilled). It’s also one of the few places in Calgary that serves custardy ca phe trung (egg coffee). [$-$$]" - Dan Clapson
