Style:
guess what? It is a Vietnamese restaurant

Reviews:
DJ writes in the SaoDaly blog: "I decided to have lunch at Vietnam Restaurant
that I found by accident the day before. A big bowl of pho (fer) gave me enough energy to last the entire afternoon. It was not quite like the pho that I am used to in Paris or in Amsterdam but it was delicious and good enough for 7.50 Euros, cheaper than here or in Paris, with less stuff of course."

Reviews
:
There are several good reviews on the restaurant in Qype. Two of the four recommend the pomelo salad; one recommends a quite peculiar thing, that doesn't seem very Vietnamese: a mixture of meat and cheese. All rave the food, but say that the service lacks on timeliness and one states that the prices are somewhat high relatively to other Vietnamese places in the area: 30 EUR p.p with no specific and "expensive" orders.

Another good review on I Heart Berlin : "I had Argentinean steak with a crust of fried carrot slices. What sounds not Asian at all really had the typical Vietnamese mix of spices and flavours in it, but with a very creative and unusual note. I loved it!"

Monsieur Vuong

The Basics:
Alte Schönhauser Str. 46 10119 Berlin-Mitte (U Weinmeisterstrasse or S Hackescher Markt)

URL: Monsieur Vuong

Accessible? Not really: there is a small stair in the entrance (there is a bell for wheelchair users, but according to the waiter, it is for a ramp); the restaurant is crowded and narrow and most importantly no wheelchair accessible toilets.

Child-Friendliness? No real catering for the needs of kids, except for one thing (that is more important with older, well behaved, but hungry kids; and with adults who are not much of an eater): all of their dishes are available as a smaller portion, with even cheaper price. Believe me, "small" is relative and their "small" Wonton Soup was almost satisfying in itself.

Our review: The design in Monsieur Voung is very nice, the food excellent. Despite busy hours, the service is rather quick; and all of that with cheap prices and the availability of all dishes at smaller rates for those who are less hungry (or less of an eater). The only thing that has perhaps diminished a little from the experience has been the fact that one of us has ordered two dishes (the others had each only a main course), and received both courses together (the waitress also didn't ask whether to bring the entrée separately). Despite that, the one who received the two dishes at once was satisfied however and said that the main course one was not too cold by the time she's gotten her way with it.

Jim Boyne writes in "Lost in Europe": "I got in there a little before the lunchtime rush, but it was still packed with people. There are only about three dishes on menu, and I went for a kind of green curried chicken with stir-fried vegetables which was probably the best meal of my trip so far, and only cost me nine euros with a drink as well."

Another positive review comes from Ryan at "Backpacking Across Europe", which points out something important: any non-vegetarian dish on the menu could be with tofu instead.

Silentglow writes on BeenThere: "An excellent little Vietnamese restaurant in the heart of Kreuzberg. The menu is limited, but there's a daily specials board in English along with a range of tasty lassi drinks. The service was impeccable with the food cooked right in front of your eyes. The best thing is, a meal and a lassi only cost me 8 euros."
