Madame Hanoi

Madame Hanoi has just launched a new lunch on the run takeaway menu and I was lucky enough to be one of 100 people that scored a free banh mi thit (pork banh mi). The roll had that good balance of crunchy outside and soft inside and was loaded with flavoursome fillings. Slightly more upmarket than your average banh mi with the addition of pate. Most importantly there was pork meat and crackling in every bite. The takeway menu had other delicious options including a banh mi with fried eggs, croque monsieur and nicoise salad.

Wow oh wow! That Pork Belly and Pawpaw Salad is amazing! I have been here about 3 times for dinner and each time have not been dissapointed with the food and service. It is a little on the pricier side but the place, location, vibe ontop of the food and service is great. Excellent location on North Terrace right downstairs of the Adelaide Casino.

Even though we booked dinner here for a Sunday night, only the high tables and stools were available. It was quite busy. Food was lovely. Vietnamese food with a modern twist. Tapas sized meals so you can choose a variety of things to try. Staff were very good explaining the dishes and giving suggestions. We enjoyed all our meals and would go back again. It is expensive but it is also a quite nice place to treat yourself every now and again.

The surrounds were very nice, the service was fast enough and polite, but was let down by the food, the reason most go to a restaurant. None of the dishes were authentic Vietnamese, all being western interpretations or 'close enough'. Vietnamese dishes should be simple with crisp flavours not muddied with Nando's Peri Peri sauce as the beef cold rolls were, or dosed so heavily with MSG, as the deep fried chicken wing sauce was, that you end up at your GP with heart palpitations. Did I mention the prices? better not.
