La Belle Tonki is a refreshing take on Vietnamese dining in Montreal, blending traditional flavours with bold, unconventional twists. Founded by friends Michel Nguyen and Michel “Boombeast” Lim, the restaurant began as a revamp of Nguyen’s family restaurant, La Belle Tonkinoise, before evolving into the vibrant La Belle Tonki on Beaubien Street.

The menu reflects the unique cultural backgrounds of the owners—Vietnamese and Cambodian—enhanced with a Montreal twist. Dishes like kimcheesy poutine, phở with short ribs, and a bánh mì burger offer an eclectic fusion of flavours. With hip-hop influences woven into the decor, service, and vibe, La Belle Tonki creates an atmosphere as dynamic as its cuisine.
