These days, you won’t find the talented duo behind the bar, but the short menu of finger-lickin’ good options and Vietnamese soups hasn’t changed, much like the mural by local artist Steve Locatelli. So come slurp up a properly garnished bowl of broth, served with beef, tofu, chicken or crab; nibble on spring rolls stuffed with local pork; or wolf down a rice noodle salad with North Sea fish and shrimp croquettes, sprinkled with finely sliced spring onions, cabbage and cucumber, plus peanut sauce. A dash of (lemongrass) sambal, and we’re golden! // Janjan Bon

FEELING THIRSTY? There’s Saigon beer (€4.50 to €7.50) and Pony’s beer from Ghent. If you’re in the mood for something non-alcoholic, there’s also green tea (€4) and Vietnamese coffees (€4.50).
PRICE: Appetizers €8-13, mains €17 to €19.50, soups €17 to €22.50.
