Ha Long Bay Bistro - CLOSED JULY 30Th 2013

Owner and chef Lynn Hoang has always had a passion for cooking. It became a Sunday ritual to invite family members over to try her re-creation of traditional Vietnamese dishes, sometimes staying true to the original dishes while at other times giving them a modern twist. The dishes served at the restaurant are what she considers to be the most enjoyed traditional Vietnamese dishes originating from all parts of her native country. Born and raised in what was formerly known as Saigon, she learned the fundamentals of southern Vietnamese cooking from her mother who was raised and worked in Saigon. Meanwhile, her culinary repertoire of northern Vietnamese cooking came from the teachings of her maternal grandmother, who originally grew up in a small village near Ha Long Bay, but later migrated to the South. Most of the dishes on the menu are family recipes that have been passed down generations, while others are inspired by the chef’s travels across many parts of the country.

Ha Long Bay Bistro is located in the community of The Eglinton Way. On a beautiful summer day, a bed of seasonal flowers sit just outside of the restaurant’s open windows. Meanwhile, the interior is designed with decorative lighting and warm colours, which gives the restaurant a modern and cozy feel for diners to comfortably enjoy a scrumptious meal.
