Monsieur Vuong, Berlin

The Mitte district has become a haven for chic shoppers, and a number of stylish eateries have sprung up to cater to them.

Monsieur Vuong is a Vietnamese joint that offers a simple menu of classic dishes. Alongside the normal selection, a specials board changes daily so repeat customers can always eat something different.

Judging by the Thursday afternoon I visited, Monsieur Vuong is incredibly popular. It was a struggle to get a seat, and the place was heaving. As a result the service was a little lackluster, but the food more than made up for it.

I ordered a wan-tan soup that was light and refreshing, perfect for a hot day. The pho seemed to be a popular dish among neighboring tables, and the fruit shakes were also going down a storm.

My meal was a quick one, as I didn’t have long until my train, but I’d recommend Monsieur Vuong wholeheartedly. The food is great, the ambience is fun and you can get beers or shakes depending on how you feel.

It’s the kind of place you’d stop in for lunch during a shopping spree, or pop into before a night in one of the many bars in Mitte. Unless you’re looking for a leisurely fine dining experience, Monsieur Vuong is well worth a trip.
