Vietnamese – A London Journal

Resto 5 Pho Odessa, Paris

The RTJ was fine but next time I'm in Versailles I'll try their rivals, The Maharajah, across the road. Oh, and make sure I know where Versailles are actually playing.

Resto 19 Non, Holloway Road

The best hot sauce since Northampton makes for an excellent meal.

Resto 7 Nep Nep, Lisson Grove

Another weekend another random suburb of London.

Resto 5 Viet Ngon, Stroud Green

Good quality Vietnamese eats and a pleasant surprise on the beer front.

Resto 4 Saigon, Northampton

Saigon does the business - high quality Vietnamese and a wonderful proprietor. 'Year of pig! VERY LUCKY!!

Resto 22 Viet Eat, Holborn

A condescending waiter and underwhelming food. Not a great combination.

Resto 17 Khoai Café, Crouch End

Where Kho went wrong Khoai goes right - keep it simple on service and dish up the good stuff.

A full room on an early Saturday evening (in contrast to La Porchetta a couple of doors along) showed that Quê Me has successfully cracked the price/quality equation for this stretch of restos, where the competition is fierce.
