What User likes about Cristal No 41:
La soupe pho n'a pas son pareil dans ce petit restaurant sans prétention du quartier chinois, c'est une adresse de connaisseurs ! Tout est frais préparé devant vous à la commande, et très copieux. Sans conteste la meilleure que j'ai jamais mangée... et un excellent rapport qualité/prix. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Cristal No 41:
I went to this restaurant with my family because my wife was really wanting Vietnamese food. I had read a review about it in Lonely Planet. Unfortunately, the pho soup had a weird taste, the noodles were overcooked, and the fried rolls had onions in them. A clear indicator that this place might not be authentic was the lack of Vietnamese customers dining there. View all feedback.

The place is very simple: a dozen tables, modest decorations and your typical bland music. On lunchtime, there is not a lot of people there, which allowed me to...

This unassuming Vietnamese restaurant in Montreal's Chinatown, known as Cristal No 41, offers fresh and generous dishes that cater to food enthusiasts. Prepared right before your eyes, the pho soup is described as the best around with excellent value. While the service may lack efficiency at times, the atmosphere remains pleasant. Dishes like the N.41 and Vietnamese fried rolls are highly recommended and prepared with fresh ingredients. Established since 1986 under new ownership since 2013, this restaurant continues to serve up authentic flavors, making diners feel as though they are transported to Vietnam. A must-try spot for a delicious and unique dining experience.

We got this place reccomended to us by our hotel conciergeI don't know how others did not like this place.

Well, I had high hopesIts sometimes tricky finding breakfast with gluten-free options.

I love this restaurant! I'm surprised it only has a 3.5 rating on Yelp, but I guess my 5-star rating is strictly for the food as I've never eaten at the

Venus en famille nous nous sommes régalés.Le cadre est bien sûr modeste mais propre ; ne pas hésiter à pousser la porte !
