Cafe East Pho is a Vietnamese restaurant at 3 to 5 Montpelier Vale in Blackheath. The menu centres on aromatic noodle soups, rice dishes and fresh starters, balancing fragrant herbs with savoury broths, chilli and citrus. Its relaxed format works equally well for a quick bowl of pho, a light lunch or a broader meal shared across several dishes.
Starters include banh cuon rice rolls, fresh goi cuon summer rolls and crisp cha gio spring rolls, with a vegetable version also available. Pho can be ordered with rare beef, well done beef, chicken, prawns or a combination of meats. Each bowl brings rice noodles and fresh garnishes to a deeply flavoured broth, allowing diners to adjust the final balance at the table.
Beyond pho, bun bo hue provides a spicier noodle soup, while dry pho kho offers a version without broth. Bun cha nem thit nuong combines lemongrass pork and a spring roll with vermicelli, herbs and dressing. Rice plates include crispy chicken, lemongrass pork chops and pork belly, alongside curry and bo kho beef casserole for diners seeking a particularly hearty meal.
Vegan pho, vegetable vermicelli and fried rice provide satisfying meat free options. Vietnamese iced coffee offers a rich and sweet finish, while mango pomelo sago brings fruit and creamy texture to dessert. Cocktails, beer and wine round out a selection that spans quick lunches, warming soups and leisurely dinners in the centre of Blackheath.
