A PURE VIETMANESE STREET FOOD EXPERIENCE:To create something unique, you have to mix things up. Vietnamese food is one of the most diversified and influenced cuisines on the planet, but at its core, it is a delightful mix of shared native flavours and borrowed techniques. Without its French influence, Vietnamese cuisine would not be as we know it today. This coming together of two completely different culinary cultures, focused on authenticity, health and obsession to do simple things well, exists at the core of our passion. At Bon Bon Boy, we love what we do, and we welcome you to our restaurant as if you were family. We hope you love our food and feel our passion for Pure Vietnamese street food.

Genuinely faultless food and service. Very very generous portions, accommodation made @ late notice for a vegetarian with additional meals provided for the banquet. So much food we took home quite a few take away containers (don't judge - food waste is a terrible thing!). This was a first time for me and I'll be back for sure.
