Madame Ngo Une Brasserie Hanoi

Madame Ngo Une Brasserie Hanoi: Phở on Kantstraße

The Duc Ngo opened the establishment at Kantstraße 30 in 2016, and it remains one of the most famous of his approximately dozen Berlin restaurants. The concept is a French-inspired brasserie with Vietnamese cuisine: the menu is bilingual, structured into Entrées, Petites choses, Phở, and Bánh mì. Looking through the display window, one sees three large soup pots, behind which an open kitchen operates. Guests sit either at the counter with a view of the pans or in the quieter back part of the room. The place is usually full, making it difficult without a reservation.

Phở is the core product and is available in nine variations on the menu. The simple version with boiled beef brisket costs 15.00 Euros, the one with Kikok corn-fed chicken and egg 17.00 Euros. The house specialty with raw beef steak slices, boiled brisket, and beef meatballs is 19.00 Euros, and if ordered with Filet Mignon, it costs 24.00 Euros. Vegetarian options include carrots, asparagus, shiitake, pak choi, and tofu for 17.00 Euros. The origin of meat and products is indicated on the menu. Additionally, there are appetizers such as Nem Hà Nôi for 13.00 Euros, three kinds of pork belly for 18.00 Euros, and a Bánh mì for 14.00 Euros. A fried dough stick for dipping costs 2.50 Euros.
