Restaurant Au 14

Au 14 is a winning retreat for anyone looking for that satisfying south eastern meal with a homespun Plateau Mont-Royal ambience. This family-run restaurant established decades ago is a neighbourhood staple which caters to every taste; with a flare for signature dishes it is the perfect place to gratify your craving for Vietnamese. The menu boasts steaming bowls of pho that hit the spot after a long day, but don't be hesitant to try something different, their extensive list of entrees vary a pedigree of flavours, try the fresh lemon-grass or the spicy seafood curry, or the very popular beef over crispy noodles, it's very savoury, juicy and a little bit sweet. The tofu, served in soup or on a soft bed of vermicelli, is perfectly seasoned with chilli and fresh vegetables. The appetizers are addicting and you may want to try more than one. The simple desserts are the perfect size after a large dish, try the chilled lychee for something light, or the deep-fried banana with fresh local honey for something rich. When it gets cold outside there is nothing better than soaking up the heat in this peaceful corner with a bottle of hot sake. A cozy spot for lunch or dinner, monday to saturday, Au 14 will warm you up and it won't wipe out your wallet.
