We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Linh Cafe. Our orders were so pleasant to the palate. From the freshly made potato chips to... the spicy baguette sticks and now our favourite fried frog legs, spring roll, and chicken liver.Everything had a nice French twist to the familiar flavours. Plus the complimentary dessert of matcha pie and chocolate cake. And their sangria was yummytoo. The service was on point and the vibe was chic casual? This restaurant has definitely lived up to my expectations. Lookingforward to my next visit Read more
I?m sad to only be giving three stars because i really wanted to like this place, however the food was just average at best. We... started with the mussels which had decent flavour but the meat was extremely small. Next, we had the frog legs and while itlooked like it would be super flavourful, it was missing a salty component. For our main, we tried the steak and fries. We askedfor our steak to be medium rare but it was almost well done when it arrived. I?ve seen other reviews saying the chef is rudewhen customers send food back so we decided to stick with our overcooked steak. While the meat was still tender and the frieswere very crispy, there was nothing special about this dish. The service was quick and friendly and the environment/decor wereenjoyable but the food did not live up to our expectations. I saw many others ordering the pho, so maybe that is their strongsuit, however I will likely not come back to try it. Read more
No reservation needed for table for 2, even though the restaurant was busy on Friday night, we were seated right away. Food... arrived quickly, everything was great. I love their spicy bread sticks. Duck rotisserie was tender and tasty. We orderedsea-bass but didn?t expect it to be the whole fish. We was a bit struggling with picking the bones out but one of the serverscome help us. We truly appreciated that. Service here is just outstanding!! The only thing I didn?t like is the chocolate tartbecause the crust part was too thick and the filling wasn?t sweet enough. The lime tart was delicious though. Read more
One of our favourites! Miss the old location but how can you not love the new space! Expansive, high ceilings, huge open... kitchen, cool space & lighting plans, and really pretty floor tiles and finishes! The food is still so so yummy, heart-warmingand satisfying, and the staff is smiley and friendly, as always.. really glad Linh Cafe is doing well! Read more
Went here for a friends birthday. We ordered a lot of food and it all didn?t disappoint. It was a busy Friday night so it came... out a bit slow. We had the spicy baguette with pate, mussels, escargot, chicken liver, sablefish, duck, and steak with fries.The flavours were so rich and delicious we kept getting bread to soak up the sauces. We wanted to get the prime rib dishhowever our waitress told us it?s a 45 minute wait. I really wished she would?ve told us the second we started looking at themenu. There was a guy there that made the experience so enjoyable. He was friendly, joked with us, and even brought out acomplimentary tart and cream puff for the birthday girl. Overall I loved the atmosphere and the food was amazing. Read more
Dinner with my family of 9, first time in Vancouver House location. High ceiling with simple and urban decor. Staffs are... pleasant and helpful. Menu includes variety of choice of seafood , meat and even pho. My favorite is the roast beet salad andgarlic red Argentina prawns, it's sauce is good for bread. This place is family friendly and love birds! Read more
Just had a fabulous lunch here for my birthday! They offer an amazing Vietnamese-French fusion. Each dish is very well... composed, all the flavours work so well together. Pho Bo probably is the best in town! Beef broth is very rich and delicious,very natural taste, like a real homemade broth made by ?grandma?. Veal sweetbread melts in your mouth and the sauce iswonderful. Soft shell crab is deep fried, yet the meat inside is still very tender. Duck and the spring roll areoutstanding. The service is impeccable! Tracy is very friendly, thoughtful & knowledgeable. We didn?t mean to mention, but shenoticed it?s my birthday. She prepared a birthday cake for us at the end while playing a traditional Vietnamese birthday song! The ambiance is lovely and relaxed. This is not only one of the best Vietnamese-French food I've ever had, but also one of thebest meals I've had in downtown. We will definitely be back & I highly recommend you check them out! Read more
