    Beef pho
    Rachel H.

    I was so happy to find a Vietnamese restaurant while traveling, but it was pretty mid. I got the beef pho and Vietnamese iced tea. The pho was lacking in depth of flavor. But my iced tea was great! It's also a little hard to get into the entrance because there are uneven steps to climb.

    Food with good taste and I have it completely with every bite. Good environment and service.

    Pork chop & springroll

    The only Vietnamese restaurant that stands out in Quebec. Place is modern in design, clean and food is fresh made. A must go to place for vietnamese food.

    Beef Pho

    We decided to try something different on our last day in Quebec City. The beef pho here was amazingly delicious with quality beef. The staff were extremely friendly and generous. Our kids had a great time playing tik tac toe here as well!

    Vermicelli beef

    It's pretty good. There is only one size pho and two choices beef and chicken. We got the beef. It was good and simple. Broth is tasty but has msg in it as I am experiencing that msg headache right now. Cest la vie We also had vermicelli beef. The beef in there is very tasty as is the imperial roll as well. They put the fish sauce in for you which I didn't expect. I usually pour it myself and prefer that. Overall. A nice seating area and friendly staff. I also had the chicken wonton soup small. Couldn't tell how much it is. I guess will see when I get the bill. There is free WiFi which is a plus. Overall nice to find a decent pho place in Quebec City despite the msg.

    Pho so good

    Best bowl of Pho ever..! Owner was friendly and sweet. Thank you for your hospitality. We traveled far and the yummy Pho made us feel like home.

    Food decent, it was a nice plate, service a bit more hands off. Could have refilled water once or even checked in on the table.

    Bun Cha Gio w/ shrimp
    Helen H.

    We came here between lunch and dinner time. The restaurant is quite big, with seating also available in the back. My bf had the beef pho. The broth was on the sweeter side and the slices of beef were thick. I had the bun cha gio with shrimp. The bowl is composed of rice noodles and imperial rolls with shredded lettuce, mint, pickled radish/ carrot, and cucumber. It is finished off with fish sauce. The onions threw me off, but overall it was a light refreshing meal.

    While it's true that I know what to expect when ordering Vietnamese fare in San Francisco I learned…read morethat doing so in Quebec City's Saint-Sauveur neighborhood is a whole different ballgame. Restaurant Jardin du Vietnam is an all-inclusive experience. Every meal here is a multi-course affair that moves from soup to appetizer plate to entree and dessert. Alcohol isn't offered but guests are welcome to BYOB and there's no corkage or other associated fees. It's fair to say that you'll leave Restaurant Jardin du Vietnam very full for a reasonable price even if what you've consumed looks nothing like your typical order from a Vietnamese restaurant in San Francisco. The only decisions to be made here pertain to your choice of entree and dessert. At my table our entree orders included Poulet (chicken) Curry ($25.95CAN, and a bit one-note) and a Shrimp/Scallop dish ($32.95CAN, pristine but bland in flavor). The latter was chosen because it featured vermicelli (aka rice noodles) which are often featured in favorite Vietnamese dishes back home. But there's a silver lining here; the entire experience of the place is interesting and sort of fun and though the food wasn't my favorite version of Vietnamese fare I liked, overall, what was on offer. Several tables were filled with parties of 4, early and known to the restauranteurs, and covered with wine bottles, evidence that Restaurant Jardin has a local fan base. The restaurant itself is authentically ornate and unique to the area. And the multi-course experience is leisurely and enjoyable. Accompanied with such reasonable prices (1CAN$ = .75 US) it was easy to imagine how Restaurant Jardin could become a favorite amongst locals seeking something a bit different. It might not have been my favorite version of Vietnamese fare but I enjoyed the overall experience.

    I'm starting to notice, Pho joints in Quebec are not as good as Pho joints in Ontario. This is the…read more2nd time I went to a Vietnamese restaurant in Quebec. Their price is ridiculous for their 1 size only Pho and Hue. Back home in Ontario, you would be able to get a a XL pho for $15.50. The Pho here was so small, it barely had any noodles. Normally I never drink all the soup but this time I had to drink it all because I was still hungry. They really do it different here with their Pho. They put the bean sprouts directly in the soup for you before they bring it out to you. I don't like my bean sprout fully cook and soggy. Also where the is the lime? Did they squeeze the lime in it for me too? Where are the basils? Meatballs? The taste of the broth is subjective, these guys went with a flavourful herbal taste instead of the strong beef taste. The Bun Bo Hue's broth was ok. Once again it was very small just like the Pho. Missing a lot of key ingredient again. The atmosphear was good. They did their best with the limited amount of space they had. Service was prompt. This place could be a lot better because their broth taste good but way too many ingredients missing.

    We were craving spice in Quebec City and set out looking for Asian food. That search led us to…read moreMadame Phan. Both of us--coming from different parts of Asia--were hopeful. The food? It was okay. It gave us the spice fix we needed, but it wasn't authentic. I wish I could rate it higher, but I feel a responsibility to be critical when it comes to Asian cuisine. Too often, Asian food is watered down for Western taste buds. It's a disservice to the cultures it represents. Quebec City already feels deeply European, and I would love to see more pride in showcasing Asian food as it really is. Here's the truth: authentic food usually outperforms the "tailored-to-locals" version. People rise to the occasion when they're given the real thing. Sadly, what I often see--here included--is the opposite. Local diners leave thinking they've "experienced Asian food" when, in fact, they haven't. The first red flag was in the description itself: "Asian." Asia is vast and diverse. Expecting one restaurant, or one chef, to represent it all is impossible. It's like walking into a place that claims to serve all European food under one roof. Unrealistic by definition. So, no, Madame Phan isn't authentic. But it did serve its purpose: it gave us something spicy when we needed it. I just wish more restaurants here leaned into authenticity rather than compromise. Because authentic Asian food deserves better than this.

    The interior is your typical no-frills Asian restaurant--simple and straightforward. Service was…read morequick, and the food came out fast. Quebec City isn't exactly known for authentic or high-quality Asian cuisine, so it's best to keep your expectations in check. This place is about as close as you'll get. The pho wasn't authentic--the broth tasted more like beef bouillon, so I'd skip that. The Thai chicken had a good kick of spice, and the General Tao's was actually pretty solid. Overall, there aren't many Asian food options in the city, but this place gets the job done.
