Co Thu Quan

Best Known For

Pho: with choice of sliced rare beef, chicken or beef meatballs.

A bustling hive of activity awaits inside the doors of Co Thu Quan on Victoria Street in the Melbourne suburb of Richmond. With a trendy interior of exposed brick walls, long communal timber tables, kitchy corners of comfy armchairs, shelves of knick knacks and art installations adorning the ceilings, Co Thu Quan makes for a relaxed space where locals flock for an enjoyable meal out, in an energetic environment. Serving up a menu of traditional Vietnamese fare with authentic flavours, sample an entrée of housemade fried prawn wonton dumplings, or perhaps salt and pepper prawns with garlic and fried shallots. For mains, opt for the Vietnamese fried pancakes made with rice flour, stuffed with slivers of pork, shrimp, onion and bean sprouts; finishing with a coconut jelly in a whole coconut.
