1705 Lafayette St # B, Gretna, LA (West Bank) Mon, Wed-Sat: 9:30am-pm; Sun: 9:30am-8pm. Credit Cards. 504.361.8008. It takes a car, ten minutes and a dollar for the toll bridge to get to one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the south. It's so good it's no longer a secret or a "find." Even Gourmet Magazine knows about this charming eatery tucked into a glossy strip mall in Gretna. The best time to go is during the day, on a weekend, when a slow meal of Pho (soup made from incredible chicken stock), toothsome meat (try the Korean Short Ribs) and cheap beer (Bud) will put you on a pleasant, protein-powered half-drunk.
