Best Vietnamese 2010

Gold winner Phnom Penh “is in a class of its own, so it’s no surprise this little gem is a must-stop for out-of-town chefs and foodies alike.” Our judges singled out the crispy frogs legs and the finger-licking garlic chicken. At Pho Thai Hoa (Silver), the rare-beef soup “delivers on all three counts: tender meat; rich, deeply flavoured broth; and perfectly cooked noodles.” At Pho Tan Vietnamese Restaurant (Bronze) our judges loved the table condiments (“better tended than the greens at Augusta”). Honourable Mentions to Thai Son Restaurant and Pho Hoang Vietnamese.
