T'ami Restaurant — Restaurant in Montreal

We recently visited T’ami Vietnamese Restaurant in Montreal, and it was the perfect prelude to our upcoming Vietnamese honeymoon. The food felt wholesome, comforting, and beautifully prepared just the kind of cooking that makes you feel taken care of.

We started with the bánh cuốn (steamed rice rolls). The delicate rice sheets were silky and light, topped with crispy shallots for just the right crunch. Paired with tender grilled meat, slices of pork sausage, and fresh herbs, it all came together with a dipping sauce that was both savory and slightly sweet balanced and addictive.

The bánh xèo (Vietnamese sizzling pancake) was another highlight. Golden, crisp on the outside, yet soft inside, it was generously filled and paired with fresh lettuce, herbs, and bean sprouts. Wrapping each bite and dipping it in the light fish sauce made every mouthful exciting and refreshing.

We also tried the pad thai while a Thai classic, it was prepared with a Vietnamese touch here. The noodles had a lovely chew, the sauce was tangy with just the right hint of sweetness, and the crunch of peanuts on top tied it all together.

Overall, T’ami gave us a beautiful glimpse into the warmth of Vietnamese cuisine. Each dish felt carefully made, with flavors that were vibrant yet comforting. It truly set the mood for our upcoming travels we left feeling satisfied, happy, and even more excited to experience...

I am Vietnamese living in Canada, today I had a wonderful first experience at the Vietnamese restaurant - T'ami. I accidentally learned about this Vietnamese restaurant through the Facebook of Ms. Tam, the restaurant owner, even though we were not Facebook friends before. After reading a few of her good articles about the restaurant, I was curious to try it. Because I think that people who write well can cook well 😂 And indeed Ms. Tam did not disappoint me with the dishes she cooked. I ordered Bun Dau Mam Tom and my friend ate Banh Hoi Thit Nuong. Wow. I can't describe it, the taste is 95% similar to the same dish sold in Vietnam. You know, the ingredients for Vietnamese dishes are not easy to find in Canada. So people often have to choose similar ingredients. Especially the noodles here, Ms. Tam made 100% similar to those in Vietnam. For dessert, I chose fried banana cake. It was very fragrant and delicious. Next time I will try rice rolls, crab spring rolls, shrimp cakes.... One thing that makes me want to write a review right away is that Ms. Tam is very cute when serving customers. She is very gentle, thoughtful and enthusiastic. So I am very satisfied and asked for permission to take a photo with her. Thank you Ms. Tam and T'ami for giving me emotional experiences with delicious...
