Le Red Tiger

Le Red Tiger is an authentic addition to the culinary landscape on Maissonevue Boulevard in Montréal’s’ “Village.” The perfect spot for lunch during a workday or trying to grab a tasty morsel for supper, Le Red Tiger is waiting for you. With a focus on Vietnamese street food sharing plates and exotic cocktails, Le Red Tiger offers dishes emphasizing quality, originality, and design. Drawing inspiration from the architecture of Southeast Asia, specifically the Chinese imperialist days, French colonial, and post-colonial eras, the restaurant showcases three distinct styles representing different chapters in Vietnam’s history. During summer, Le Red Tiger opens its wide garage doors, revealing a striking black and white chequered floor. The establishment’s primary shades of brown and yellow contrast beautifully with this. A neon sign reading “Càng đông càng vui” (the more the merrier) sits above the bar in front of the open kitchen. Bespoke furniture, including nine-foot tables resting on single one-foot stands, adds character to the place. Family photographs provide a genuine touch of authenticity, and a brilliant piece in the entryway by mural artist Aless Mc brings an urban edge and sense of playfulness. Le Red Tiger stands out for its genuine feel, sidestepping the cookie-cutter modern interiors often found in restaurants. It offers an authentic and exciting addition to Montreal’s culinary scene.

Le Petit Sao 

Located on Nuns’ Island, Le Petit Sao is the pioneering establishment of a now-popular chain, having first opened its doors in 2013. Co-owner Lise Dang has crafted a menu that marries traditional Vietnamese flavors with her modern twists. This eatery quickly became a local favorite, known for its fresh dishes, efficient service, and budget-friendly offerings. Lise’s inspiration stemmed from her family’s culinary legacy, with her parents owning the Sao Sao restaurant in Brossard. Le Petit Sao has expanded its presence to Pointe-Saint-Charles, Atwater Market, and Old Montreal. The menu boasts classics like banh mi, pho soups, and spring rolls, with beverages like Vietnamese coffee being a standout. With its vibrant decor and emphasis on family traditions, Le Petit Sao offers a quick yet authentic Vietnamese dining experience, especially popular for lunchtime visits.
