Gaia Restaurant
We ordered pho bo at Gaia Restaurant and it's the reason we'd go back — the broth has been going since yesterday evening and the star anise is present without overwhelming — a proper bowl. Walk-ins generally fine on weeknights.
Nouilles de Lan Zhou
We ordered pho ga at Nouilles de Lan Zhou and it's the reason we'd go back — the chicken broth is cleaner than the beef and just as complex — the version to order when you want something lighter. Walk-ins generally fine on weeknights.
Pho Lien
We ordered pho bo at Pho Lien and it's the reason we'd go back — the broth has been going since yesterday evening and the star anise is present without overwhelming — a proper bowl. Walk-ins generally fine on weeknights.
Who this guide is for
Great pho is a function of time and technique — the broth needs to be going since the previous evening, the spicing needs to be precise, and the noodles need to arrive at the right temperature. These are the Montreal kitchens that get all three right.
