Le Petit Boui Boui is a Vietnamese restaurant exuding charm and simplicity. Chef-owner Ritchie Nguyen, trained in classical French cuisine and experienced at La Maison Publique, channels his passion for Vietnamese street food into every dish. The cozy 24-seat establishment serves authentic fare like pho from Nguyen's mother’s recipe, crispy banh xèo, and a refreshing papaya salad. Decorated by Nguyen's partner Philomène Addy-Laird, the restaurant offers a warm, familial atmosphere. Diners can enjoy the unique experience of watching Nguyen at work in the open kitchen.
Adhering to tradition, the drink menu features only beer, which Nguyen believes pairs perfectly with Vietnamese cuisine.
