What We Ate
Vietnamese Specials
We started with the Vietnamese Spring Rolls. They arrived at the table in the most beautiful basket presentation. The rolls are filled with ground pork, shrimp, crab, egg & and a variety of shredded veggies. These didn’t last long at the table and were the perfect start to the meal!
For our entrée, we went with a Stone Bowl Pho – specifically the Pho Special Combo. Prepare to be wowed when this arrives at the table. The broth is served in a stone bowl that keeps boiling upon arrival and the ingredients come beautifully displayed on a tiered tower. But this meal is not just beautifully presented, it’s full of flavour too with rare beef, brisket, chicken, tripe & tendon.
Thai Specials
The Steamed Chicken Dumplings were the perfect start to the meal. They come covered in the most delicious house made Spicy Peanut Sauce. Each bite was flavourful and fresh and the sauce added the perfect amount of spice.
Stir Fried Crispy Chicken with Cashews was chosen off the Chef’s Special Entrées part of the menu and it too packed flavour into every bite. The chicken was perfectly crispy and the cashew sauce perfect combined with a variety of mixed vegetables.
If you have never been to BVR, take our word for it – give it a try and you will be dreaming of the flavours in the days that follow!
