Sure--if I'm feeling like some Vietnamese when I'm by the train station next time I am ever in Tours, I'll hit this place up. This place is IN (but not 100% emphatically).

Located on the Rue Bourgogne (full of ethnic restaurants!), this was a very pleasant place to dine…read morein. It's a Vietnamese/ Cambodian restaurant operated by people from Cambodia Clean and nice decor, with soft music (not too loud of obtrusive). Very friendly service (and the manager speaks English). Entree from 4-8.5 euros. Plat prices vary from 7.5 euro to 15 euro sautéed shrimp. Rice or noodle on the side costs extra. (This was the case at the nearby Indian place, too. That's why sometimes it'd be better to choose a "menu" pre-fixed) What I ordered were sautéed beef with Angkor sauce and Rice crepe with pork and shrimp - both flavorful enough and well prepared. Not something to wow you, but better than some other ethnic restaurants in Orleans. I would give 3.5 stars.

When I was checking out, the shop owner noticed my purchase and asked if i was making pho. He mentioned there was a pho restaurant around the corner. I have been coming to Orleans since 1997 and we finally have a pho restaurant that is close by and delicious! The owner is very kind and attentive. I ordered the banh cuon (steam rice rolls) and pho dac biet (special beef pho). It was delicious and this satisfied my Vietnamese comfort food craving! I can't wait up go back and try the other items on the menu. And the address on yelp is incorrect. The address is 375 rue Faubourg Bannier, Orleans
