Feed me banh mi and tell me I'm pretty

That is what the neon says, and the room takes it at its word. Parle by Viet Fresh sits on Dalhousie Street in the ByWard Market, a few minutes from Rideau station, behind a bright teal front. Inside: painted paper parasols across the ceiling, rattan chairs, a pink bicycle and a lot of good light.

It is a family-owned kitchen serving batch-made Vietnamese food: pho, bun bo Hue, banh mi, vermicelli bowls and fresh rolls, plus a handful of Thai dishes, all prepared halal.

Halal kitchen, with vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. Ask the staff about allergens.
