Overview

From the family who once owned West End’s beloved Trang, comes Mrs Luu’s. Open only a month Mrs Luu’s is fast becoming a Milton institution with a line of customers flowing out of its French doors most weekday lunchtimes. (Tip: to avoid lines go before 12pm or after 1pm)

Mrs Luu’s sits between a dance studio, and a Crossfit gym, fittingly the food will be easy on that summer belly. Frequented by the dress shirts, and high heels of Milton’s many office buildings this is authentic Vietnamese food is presented in a way that perfectly fits the working day.

Gratefully, Mrs Luu’s menu has been simplified for the Aussie lingo. No more staring blankly at a list of 60 dishes that you have no idea how to pronounce.

Take a bite out of your Banh Mi, a French baguette filled with Vietnamese salad, Mrs Luu’s homemade pate and mayo, and your choice of filling (I opted for the sweet glazed chicken fillet). The crazy combination of flavors will get those tastebuds excited in a way that Subway never has. The best $7 I’ve spent in a long time.

Other options are Goi Con ($6) spring rolls for the health and taste conscious, the Bun ($10.50) which funnily is enough is a vermicelli salad, the Com ($10.50) with pickled veggies, rice, your choice of marinated meat and Mrs Luu’s special Nuoc Nam dressing.

Mr Luu is a very lucky man.
