Part art gallery and part casual Vietnamese eatery, V(iet) Café is a real pleasant surprise – affordable, high quality food at a sit-down restaurant on Greenwich St?! Who would have thought. A great lunch option for those working in the area or Tribeca residents. The noodle bowls are by far the best value, both times I was in-and-out for lunch in under $15 and barely made it through half the food!

The vegetables in the chicken noodle bowl were extremely fresh and the chicken was perfectly grilled. I’m a sucker for anything acidic or spicy, so I love that V Café has both chili sauce and vinegar on the table.
Update 10/8/12: The dessert here is not to be missed – they only have two choices: either a green tea or coconut crepe cake. It’s like some brilliant cross between a mille-feuille and mousse… light, airy and utterly delicious.

Although I was surprised by their not so fresh spring rolls.. I was blown away by their coconut crepe cake… wow… a sensation on your tongue like no other you have ever had, I was very pleasantly hooked. The single cup french press coffee was also a great compliments to this dessert. Will go back for sure
