Paris Pho: Song Huong

As a followup to our last Paris bulletin, readers Tom Bärlin & Jacob Nordfors write in with a recommendation for some excellent pho they've discovered in Paris:    

Hi, me and a friend from Sweden spent some time in Paris last week. As being pho-fans we went to Song Huong at avenue de Choisy (metro: Tolbiac), just next to a bigger restaurant called Pho 14. If you are in Paris you don't want to miss this restaurant! It has no doubt the best phos in town.

Parisian Pho

On a quaint street in the charming 7eme arrondisement of Paris -- a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower -- I and my drunken undergrad colleagues would stumble out of our university's happy hour down to the dead-end rue Bosquet and into a small Vietnamese restaurant called ... wait for it ... Pho's. Yes, Pho's. We would always order the same dish because is was so damn good: Vermicille aux Boeuf et Pates Imperieux, which translates roughly to: Beef Vermicilli and Imperial Pasta.

How can you not want to have Imperial pasta? I mean, are you soft in the head? Everyone loves to feel imperial. I think it was the crushed nuts on top. Crushed nuts has 'imperial' stamped all over it, right?

Should you go to Paris, I highly recommend.
