Bay Tinh Vietnamese Restaurant

It has been at least 15 years since I dined at Bay Tinh, it was my favourite restaurant for years. I returned on Friday night with a group of friends who have never been there before. The food was delicious, the taste and freshness were absolutely how I remembered. The biggest plus was that they totally catered for our dietary requirements, vegan and gluten free. I can't believe it has taken me so long to get back there and I cannot wait to return. All my friends were super impressed too :)

My wife & I are "regulars" at Bay Tinh when wanting to eat great Vietnamese food with family-style friendly service. The Cha Gio [Chicken-filled crispy rolls] are a must starter. The classic Banh Xeo [crispy pancake filled with prawns-pork-bean sprouts] is to "die for" but a bit messy to eat. We vary dish options a bit, but recommend the fail-safe Cua Lot [crispy/crunchy battered soft shell crab with tamarind sauce] together with their fabbo Goi Du Du [Papaya Salad- also containing prawns & pork in a 4-fresh fruit-based French Dressing. The supplied accompanying sauces usually come in small dishes so ask for one each as they are good and authentic. We have just returned from a Cambodia-Viet Nam Mekong River cruise and confirm that the food here can save you a trip there. BYOG wine is cheap at $3.50 each person. Finally if you don't want to choose your meal from their exotic & comprehensive menu [see website] they provide some excellent Banquets [$48-$51] & 4 Set 6-course Vietnamese Tapas menus [Vapas] at $42-$48/person. Vegan & Gluten-free options are available and you can get extra chilli if you desire, You will not be disappointed -we haven't eaten any dish there we did'nt like but have obviosly a few personal favorites we eat there. Explore & find your own.

as always... lovely fresh tasty food and gluten free options are wonderful and enjoyed by all. We have been going to Bay Tinh since 1993 for special occasions and they never disappoint.
