Pho Bac 97 (Montreal, QC)
There are dozens of restaurants for Vietnamese pho in Montreal, but there’s a reason why locals continue to line up at Pho Bac 97; Portions are large, service is quick, and flavours are rich and inviting. Order up a bowl of the classic beef pho, where thin slices of rare beef are slowly cooked — along with fresh scallions, sprouts, and herbs — in the steaming broth. For a version with added heat, try the bún bò Huế, a beef noodle soup with a spicier, dark broth that will surely kick the cold away.
