Square Meal review of Cay Tre: Cay Tre review

It has no decor worth recalling & little atmosphere other than a mildly urgent, canteen-like buzz, but this unassuming Vietnamese can turn out great food. A fragrant salad special with squid, fennel & mint, a superbly tender Cognac ‘luc lac’ shaking beef filet mignon with a subtly fiery chilli dipping sauce, & the moreish sizzling seafood platter with scallops, prawns & calamari are all recommended. Not everything is so impressive: the house salad is fresh but unexceptional & the banh xeo – a vast, taco-like crispy pancake shell stuffed with prawns, chicken & vegetables – was on the oily side. Wines are chosen by writer Malcolm Gluck & include an SC Pannell Grenache Rose from Mclaren Vale in South Australia at £4.50 a glass. There’s also Tiger or Hue beer & the efficient staff even manage the occasional smile.
