Linh Noodle Bar has opened at 1029 W. Cordova St., replacing the Michelin-recommended Bacaro after it closed in March.
The Story
The team behind Linh Cafe, which launched in 2014, has opened its latest restaurant concept in Vancouver: Linh Noodle Bar.
The new spot is located in the former space of Michelin-recommended Bacaro, which closed its doors after five years this March.
On its website, Linh Noodle Bar says its menu highlights fresh, locally sourced ingredients and traditional flavours, “thoughtfully reinterpreted with balance, precision, and authenticity.” The restaurant adds that it is inspired by “generations of family recipes and culinary traditions,” aiming to “honour the past while embracing modern craftsmanship.”
Noodles are the focus, with pho offered in several varieties. The menu includes Pho Ga, made with Fraser Valley Loong Kong chicken, rice noodles, clear veal, and chicken broth.
Other noodle soups include Pho Ga Tron, described as Vietnamese dry mixed rice noodles with Fraser Valley free-range Loong Kong chicken, fresh herbs, bean sprouts, fried shallots, toasted peanuts, and savoury house sauce, and Pho Tai, served with clear veal broth, rice noodles, and rare Canadian AAA beef.
The menu also includes share plates such as green papaya salad, fried tofu, and spring rolls filled with local ground pork, wood ear mushrooms, and glass noodles.
The restaurant says it was created “to bring the spirit of traditional Vietnamese dining into a refined, modern setting,” adding that its goal is to preserve Vietnamese food’s “soul” while presenting it with “modern craftsmanship.”
For decor, Linh Noodle Bar says the space draws inspiration from Indochine art and design, described as a meeting of Vietnamese heritage and French architectural influence, including warm wood, rich colours, and decorative patterns.
Linh Noodle Bar is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 1029 W. Cordova St. in Vancouver.
