Pho Tay Ho
Pho Tay Ho is a Vietnamese restaurant in Montreal serving traditional dishes from the north of the country. The menu offers several types of pho with beef or chicken, grilled pork with noodles or rice, spring rolls, and seafood options, all prepared with fresh ingredients and simple cooking methods.
The restaurant was founded several decades ago by the Ton and Tran families, who left northern Vietnam in the 1970s to settle in Montreal. They have maintained a long culinary tradition by keeping authentic recipes from their home region of Hanoi alive to this day.
The name reflects the restaurant's roots in northern Vietnam, and visitors can see this heritage displayed on the walls through photographs and posters. The space serves as a place where people experience Vietnamese flavors and customs in a casual, accessible way.
The restaurant sits on Saint-Denis Street, a main avenue in Montreal, and is easy to reach. Opening hours are broad and flexible, with dine-in, takeout, and delivery options all available. Visiting during off-peak hours tends to offer a calmer experience than during busy meal times.
Beyond serving finished dishes, the restaurant sells containers of raw ingredients like fish sauce, lemongrass, and fresh mint that customers can take home. This allows visitors to recreate the flavors at home or experiment with traditional Vietnamese components in their own kitchens.
