TânVân is a family run Vietnamese eatery and cocktail bar at 17 The Green in Ealing. Opened in 2021, it draws on memories of family meals and offers a relaxed dining room for lunch, dinner and drinks close to Ealing Broadway.
Pho is made with long simmered beef marrow bone or chicken broth and served with rice noodles, meat or prawns and fresh herbs. A vegan version uses vegetable stock, tofu, mushrooms and greens, giving the soup section a complete plant based option.
Bún noodle salads combine herbs, pickles and a tangy dressing with meat or vegetables, while bánh mì fill crisp Vietnamese baguettes with pork, chicken, pâté, aubergine or meat free alternatives. Clay pot fish, pork belly stew and rice dishes add slower cooked comfort.
Cocktails inspired by Vietnamese flavours sit alongside beer, wine and softer drinks. TânVân works well for mixed groups because traditional meat and seafood dishes share the menu with numerous vegan choices, all presented in an informal neighbourhood setting.

Wine
King’s Favour, Sauvignon Blanc, Marisco Vineyards, 2020
A punchy nose featuring aromas of passionfruit, blackcurrant leaf and an underlying touch of nettle. The generous palate is textured with flavours of nectarine and elderflower while still carrying a herbaceous freshness. This bright, vibrant Sauvignon Blanc pairs wonderfully with our Chilli Prawn Bun Bowl. ABV 13.00%
Making Tracks, Viognier, Limestone Coast, 2018
This is a zesty cocktail of peach, pineapple and lemon, chased by a grapefruit-soaked finish, that won medals at both of the UK’s top wine-award ceremonies last year. This Viognier is a match made in heaven with our Prawn Pho or our Coconut Prawn Curry. ABV 13.00%
