Mopho Canteen

A welcome addition to the dining scene along Balaclava’s Carlisle Street, Mopho Canteen serves Vietnamese inspired cuisine from their diner, conveniently close to Balaclava Train Station. Colourful stools at communal tables and a plastering of posters fill this quaint space and an open kitchen ensures mouth-watering smells tempt guests in off the street to enjoy a casual, trendy vibe. Classic, Vietnamese dishes are flavour-packed with fresh herbs and served on handmade crockery for an authenticity that resembles diners in Ho Chi Minh city from which Mopho takes culinary inspiration. Go for pho bo to eat in with a ramekin of spicy chillies, or perhaps take soy ginger glazed chicken sticks and spring rolls back to the office with a wedge of lime, just be sure to drop by later for dessert.
