Calgary's Most Instagrammable Vietnamese Escape
Tucked along a bustling downtown street, this pastel-hued oasis proves Vietnamese cuisine can be both photogenic and soul-satisfying. Just pray you snag one of their five parking spots out back! 📍 1111 7 St SW (Where French colonial meets millennial pink) 🌸 First Impressions Owner's passion project evident in every floral detail Sunroom seats = golden hour perfection (no harsh glare!) Upstairs feels like Saigon's artsy cousin (bring a fan in summer) 🥢 The Ăn Ăn Difference 🍜 Beyond Pho (though their 18-hour bone broth has cult fans) 🌮 French-Vietnamese Fusion: Lemongrass tacos Duck confit banh mi Taro flower dumplings (almost too pretty to eat) 🍹 Drinkable Art: Coconut lychee martinis in hollowed pineapples Rose petal iced tea that belongs in a museum ⚠️ Reality Check Pho broth still leans on MSG (sigh) Upstairs airflow needs improvement 💡 Pro Tips 3-5PM for best sunlight + happy hour Monthly specials > regular menu Group bookings get floral centerpieces #CalgaryEats #VietnameseBrunch #PrettyInPho
