The food was excellent and the service was too. Small place that feels very welcoming. The owner was so hospitable and made you feel like you were having dinner at her house as her guest. I don't remember the name of what I had, but here is a picture I was able to take.

A very decent but mildly confused fusion restaurant. Thai food and Vietnamese food are not the…read moresame, and French people are none the wiser to make the distinction here. As an Asian American, I've had to deal with a lot of weirdness living in FR. This includes French people not being able to wrap their heads around the fact that I am American. (The assumption is that I hail from Asia because of the way my face looks.) The other weirdness I deal with living here is only being able to find Asian food that is a melange of whatever the French deem palatable and trendy. Also nems (Vietnamese egg rolls) have become integrated in French food culture; you can find them in boxes of 4-6-8 casually sitting in a cooler at every supermarket. (Very strange yet I suppose not, considering their history of colonizing VN.) That said, I had one of the better bowls of bo bun here. Which is distinctly Vietnamese; I can feel my blood rise each time I read a review of a misguided French person refer to it as Thai. The French are obsessed with fixed menus. Even if you don't feel like an appetizer or dessert, you feel strange ordering a la carte. Mostly because the cost difference is so small, you literally can't justify it. Just get the menu (appetizer, dessert or both), and deal with the consequences of gaining unnecessary weight later. Rant cut short- if you're looking for a solid Asian-esque meal at a reasonable cost in a trendy atmosphere in le centre ville de Rennes, this is where it's at.
