Viet Kitchen

On Hopkins Street in the hip suburb of Footscray, shining as a beacon among other restaurants is the authentic Viet Kitchen. It’s a hot spot for hearty Vietnamese fare that comes to life at night, with guests sitting inside or out, delightfully downing bowls of pho in a busy atmosphere blending with the ambient traffic lights, passing trams and cars. While taking in the buzzing street or Vietnamese stencil art on the walls, enjoy a broad, fresh menu including temptations like duck stuffed with prawn meat and orange sauce, or crocodile meat with XO sauce. For something lighter, the Vietnamese farm chicken salad with coleslaw allures, while choices like the seafood hotpot are ideal for sharing, and to finish things off, perhaps indulge the inner child with a Che Ba Mau - three colour drink.
