So after about a week of eating "French" and days of extreme heat it was a great change of pace today. The brisk 60's with a drizzle here and there was welcoming.And as it turns out, a perfect day for pho.
I've been doing my research of which spot to hit and I finally decided to go with #foyermonvietnam and it was a winner. The owner is also the chef and comes out to greet his customers. He runs the business with his three daughters. From about early 20's to young teen. Had the pleasure to meet him and thank him for such a wonderful meal! My brother/sister in-laws we're hesitant because they never had Vietnamese. This had to be good or I'll never would heard the last of it.
What an experience!! I ordered for the table, pork, shrimp and vegetable rolls which were crisp and flavorful with an acidic dipping juice which gave it the right finish. Pork rolls were the best for me. Crispy, light and full of flavor. We moved on with some pho to warm the soul. And it was some of the best broths I've ever had. Granted I've never been to Vietnam but I have had authentic pho from several places in NYC, LA, MIA and UK. It was deep and rich. Savory. You could tell it's made with love. Needless to say it was a damn good pho. Some of the best motherphoker pho I've ever had! The rice with beef/vegetables stir fry was great too! Finished the meal with a coconut panda cotta which was light and the full blast of coconut hitting at the end.
Will be heading back before I leave Paris for the crispy fried duck with pineapple and a few other dishes to sample.

Portions are extremely small. Pho taste is decent. Bun bo could use some egg rolls in it because it only had cucumbers noodles and beef.

This place has great Vietnamese food with good options for vegetarians. The food is fresh and tasty and the waitress was accommodating and nice.
The vegetarian soup has a rich broth and is loaded with crisp vegetables, tofu, and veggie meat. The vegetarian bun is a big bowl of vermicelli noodles and lettuce topped with veggies, tofu, veggie meat, peanuts, and a sliced fried spring roll. Everything was delicious, satisfying, and reasonably priced.
If you are looking for a good, filling Asian meal with vegetarian options, Foyer Mon Vietnam is a great place to choose. -

We were so happy to have tried Vietnamese food in Paris. The food here was one of the best we have eaten (comparing it to NYC, Texas, California and some parts of Asia - haven't visited Vietnam so I can't compare).
We ordered to share: 1) Large Pho, 2) Pork spring rolls, 3) Pork belly rice dish, 4) Calamari rice dish, 5) Chicken rice dish. Out of all the foods, the best one was the pho, then the pork belly rice dish & then the pork spring rolls. Portion size was small, but the taste was out of this world. I don't know if it was authentic (in comparison to how it is made in Vietnam), but it tasted like it could be authentic to me. The taste is far more superior than the ones I have eaten in the United States.
Highly recommended! This place is also very popular with the locals and travelers so make sure to come early. Be patient also because food takes a while to come out. Staff is also very nice and attentive.
P.S - staff does not speak much English, but there is an English menu so you can order it by pointing at it or by ordering it in French. -

My advice is to only order the pho here. Order a large because the portions for pho are quite small. The broth is deep, dark, rich and full of beef flavor (as if they simmered the pot for more than 3 days' worth). No matter how much sriracha you squeeze in (which I never do because it masks the broth's flavor), the color of the broth will still remain the same instead of turning a bright orange red. I can honestly say, with some amount of shame, that this pho's broth is better than many pho places in our Vietnamese town back home in Westminster.
We ordered the banh cuon but I could tell it was microwaved and was not fresh. Although it truly tastes like home cooking, the rice dishes are better made at home by my mom or grandma.
