In the lively Saint-Roch neighborhood, there’s always a long line outside of Cuisine S. Big photos of Rue de Saigon adorn the walls and bundles of electrical wires hang from the ceiling, giving it a very Vietnamese street market feel – it’s quite believable in fact! Serving original Vietnamese cuisine, Cuisine S achieves the impossible: making bun cha more popular than bun bo xao! Decide for yourself by ordering the Obama Combo, which includes a beer and a large wicker platter topped with mint salad, two crispy spring rolls, rice vermicelli noodles and the now legendary bun cha Hanoi, a bowl of pork meatballs and tender pork loin swimming in a heady, fatty broth. The hungriest among you will order kem bo, a silky avocado and coconut ice cream smoothie topped with toasted coconut shavings. Also available à la carte: big bao buns, mi xao (stir-fried Saigon-style noodles), vegetarian dishes and a mysterious pho mai lac, which is described as “fries coated in cheese flour,” which is very popular with young Vietnamese people. // M.Ra.

FEELING THIRSTY? Saigon beer (€5 for 355 ml), homemade iced teas served by the pitcher (€4-8), hot or cold Vietnamese coffee (€3.50 to €5).
PRICE: Appetizers €6.50 to €7.50, mains €9 to €14, set menu €13.90 (weekday lunch).
