Magasin Vietnamese Cafe Restaurant Review

: Uptown New Orleans had long been devoid of a good Vietnamese restaurant --- until Magasin opened. The owners gutted the former dilapidated grocery store and refashioned it into a sleek, modern, black-and-white space with oversize windows and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is the draw, though, with the highest priced item just $10.50, and that is a chopped filet mignon entrée. The fried rice is a revelation thanks to the subtle seasoning, which is also the case for many dishes. There’s an assortment of pho (try the pho brisket), bun with vermicelli, spring rolls (we like the lemon grass chicken), sandwiches and appetizers, as well as a crab Rangoon that is a worthy contender for the city’s best. The restaurant does not serve alcohol, but customers bring their own, as the establishment charges no corkage fee. Red velvet cake is occasionally offered for dessert, but no sweets are featured on the menu.
