Why Locals Love Chez Cô Hai
Nestled in the heart of Strasbourg at 5 Pl. de l'Hôpital, Chez Cô Hai stands out as a beacon of authentic Vietnamese cuisine that invites diners on a vivid culinary journey. This charming restaurant expertly captures the essence of Vietnam’s rich food traditions, offering an extensive menu that caters to all tastes with a perfect balance of traditional flavors and fresh ingredients.
At Chez Cô Hai, every dish tells a story — from the delicate crunch of their Nem au porc (pork spring rolls) to the bright, refreshing bite of Rouleau de printemps au tofu or the savory indulgence of their Raviolis frits au poulet (fried chicken dumplings). The star, however, is undoubtedly their Phở Bò Dặc Biệt, a sumptuous beef rice noodle soup served exclusively on-site, featuring tender beef slices, aromatic broth, and perfectly textured meatballs that create a comforting yet vibrant dining experience. Just reading the menu whets the appetite, but tasting it is a profound immersion into Vietnamese culinary heritage.
For those seeking heartier plates, the Bánh xèo selections — from vegetarian to pork and seafood options — offer a crispy, flavorful delight, with each bite bursting with authentic spice and texture contrasts that linger pleasantly on the palate. And to round off the meal, the delicate sweetness of desserts like Chè Chuối (banana and tapioca pearls in coconut milk) or the subtly nutty Chè Sam bo luong provide a delightful harmony of flavors.
Beyond the exquisite food, the ambiance at Chez Cô Hai is warm and inviting, imbued with the casual intimacy of a cherished neighborhood eatery. As reflected in glowing reviews, customers consistently praise the friendliness of the staff and the cozy atmosphere — a perfect setting to slow down and savor every bite. Visitors repeatedly mention how the food’s deep authenticity transports them back to Vietnam, creating an unforgettable sensory experience.
If you’re in Strasbourg and hankering for a meal that balances robust flavors, expert technique, and heartfelt hospitality, Chez Cô Hai promises an encounter with Vietnamese cuisine that’s both genuine and extraordinary. Whether it’s your first taste or a welcomed return, this gem delivers the kind of vibrant culinary memories that resonate long after the last spoonful.

This is the best, by far, the best Vietnamese restaurant I've been in Europe. (I've visited Berlin and Paris where there are also lots of great Vietnamese food). Really unfortunate that I only get to try 1 dish Banh Cuon and 1 drink Tac Xi Muoi which reminded me Vietnam instantly. From the meat seasoning to the fish sauce, everything is on point. If you're coming to Strasbourg and love Vietnamese food, they also got Pho and a bunch of other delicious dishes. This would be your to-go. The space is quite small so better booked your table ahead of time if you're coming in 2 or more people. Highly highly recommend! The service is also friendly. The waiters can speak a little Vietnamese too.

Very authentic pho. Great Pho soup. You can also ask for chopped fresh chili, which is pretty spicy. Other Vietnamese dishes were also good. Strongly recommended for Asian tourists struggled with eating too many consecutive French meals. Authentic Asian food.
