Modern Vietnamese cuisine is delightfully closer to your menu than you might think and is at last attracting the broad audience it deserves . . .

The diverse and timeless flavors found in Vietnamese food can be attributed to the heritage of various nations that once occupied the country and to the influences of its neighbors. The Chinese left their art of stir-frying using the famous wok; the French brought their passion for aromatic filtered coffee, vibrant sauces and crème caramel; and the exotic lemongrass and ginger were adopted from the Thai kitchen.

The genius of Lakeside Bistro’s modern cooking technique lies in the innovative adaptation of all these foreign inspirations together with its own simple, yet sophisticated ancient recipes to create a unique and subtle modern Vietnamese cuisine.

With the heavy reliance on fresh herbs and vegetables, varieties of rice and noodles, minimal use of oil, and abundant choices of meat and seafood, Vietnamese food has to be among the healthiest and most delicious on earth!
