We recently visited T’ami Vietnamese Restaurant in Montreal, and it was the perfect prelude to our upcoming Vietnamese honeymoon. The food felt wholesome, comforting, and beautifully prepared just the kind of cooking that makes you feel taken care of.
We started with the bánh cuốn (steamed rice rolls). The delicate rice sheets were silky and light, topped with crispy shallots for just the right crunch. Paired with tender grilled meat, slices of pork sausage, and fresh herbs, it all came together with a dipping sauce that was both savory and slightly sweet balanced and addictive.
The bánh xèo (Vietnamese sizzling pancake) was another highlight. Golden, crisp on the outside, yet soft inside, it was generously filled and paired with fresh lettuce, herbs, and bean sprouts. Wrapping each bite and dipping it in the light fish sauce made every mouthful exciting and refreshing.
We also tried the pad thai while a Thai classic, it was prepared with a Vietnamese touch here. The noodles had a lovely chew, the sauce was tangy with just the right hint of sweetness, and the crunch of peanuts on top tied it all together.
Overall, T’ami gave us a beautiful glimpse into the warmth of Vietnamese cuisine. Each dish felt carefully made, with flavors that were vibrant yet comforting. It truly set the mood for our upcoming travels we left feeling satisfied, happy, and even more excited to experience Vietnam soon.
