Normally I would have just turned around and left but my mother insisted that their food is fantastic. Our waiter, who was extremely nice, was wearing the dirtiest shirt I've ever seen on a waiter or anyone else for that matter. The front of it was black with dirt. Sorry but that's just gross! Inside is old, gloomy and sad. I'm not going to go into detail because this review would be way too long but trust me, it ain't pretty! See pics. I was there at lunch and they have specials that range from 9:50 to 10:50. They include hot and sour soup and an egg roll. I had the steak and shrimp with vermicelli and salad for 10.50 and it was very good. My husband had a pho which was good but he said he's had better. Have to say I couldn't stand the smell of their incense burning while I was eating either. It would be nice if they could perform their offerings to Buddha before customers arrive. Despite the food being pretty decent, there is something to be said for atmosphere and cleanliness and they fail miserably at both and that's why I would never go back. Did I mention the place was pretty much empty?

During my stay in Gatineau, Quebec on a recent May 2016 trip, I found this Vietnamese restaurant…read morenext to my hotel, Motel Moncalm. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to check this place out. Why there is no yelp reviews yet for this place is beyond me. My unofficial quest to have a bowl of Vietnamese Pho in each of the Canadian provinces has led me north of Ottawa, Ontario into the suburban town of Gatineau, Quebec. This would be Canadian province #5 and it's quite nice to be able to be here. I'm glad that Pho and Vietnamese cuisine is readily available anywhere around the world nowadays and it makes me happy. Thankful for Yelp for providing an online directory of businesses to help us search for what we want - especially when we are traveling wherever life takes us. So, here I was at Phoenix du Vietnam restaurant in Gatineau Quebec. It was a random Friday evening and it was nice to be able to have that quietness here. There was probably 2 tables filled, other than myself. The ambiance was quite nice and the service here was decently good and positive. Since I did have a huge bowl of Pho for lunch earlier in the day, I opted for a small bowl of Pho for dinner. Pho du Vietnam Vietnamese restaurant is located at 179 Boulevard Greber, which is one of the main thoroughfares from Gatineau to Ottawa. The restaurant itself seemed to be housed in a big barn, but don't let the outside fool ya. The inside is quite nice and the decorations made everything look pretty and beautiful. They accept credit cards, which is always a big plus for me. The prices here is in line with most of the Vietnamese restaurants I've been though already in the USA and in Canada. With bowls of Pho are small or large, $8 or $10 a bowl is pretty darn good really. With that small bowl of Pho, i ordered a side dish of fried spring rolls, which were pretty good really. Definitely hot out of the kitchen made me have to wait 5-10 minutes before dipping into the sauce and enjoying the crunchy goodness! The Pho itself was as good as ever. Too bad that it was a small bowl, considering that I have had Pho earlier in the day in Ottawa already. For what it's worth, this Vietnamese restaurant in Gatineau, QC is well worth your time and energy to check out, if you are in the area. Good for dates and group dining with family or friends, or tourists like me, who love a good bowl of Pho at an affordable price. Good for lunch and dinner, Vietnamese cuisine is always a winner. Phoenix du Vietnam here in Gatineau QC serves up good food and if you are in the area, I would recommend coming here for your next meal or two. The service, as aforementioned before, is good, subtle, and positive. You can get in and out within 30-45 minutes, depending how much you are eating and how much time you'd like to spend here. Enjoy the ambiance though on a casual Friday evening. Quite satisfying really. :) 4.0 stars. Can't complain! Support local! B

This is hands down the best massage experience I've had. The level of attention, care, and skill is on another level. You can immediately tell this isn't a routine massage -- it's targeted, intentional, and truly therapeutic. I went in carrying a lot of tension, especially from long workdays, and opted for a combination of Thai oil and hot stone massage. It was exactly what my body needed. The pressure was perfect, the techniques were incredibly effective, and the results were immediate -- I left feeling lighter, looser, and completely reset. What stood out the most was the attention to detail. Every area that needed work was addressed properly -- no rushing, no shortcuts. Just real, quality care. I won't be going anywhere else.
