Adopting the name of a popular Asian noodle soup, Pho House invites tourists and Melbourne locals to try Vietnamese inspired traditional cooking on Flemington's Racecourse Road. Rich, sweet aromas surround guests as they dine on dark bamboo style furniture alongside a large photography piece portraying a dining scene from Vietnam while calm, earthy tones of green and brown are brightened by fresh flower arrangements. A shelf suspended from the roof holds a selection of wines for guests to sip as they peruse the extensive menu choices from laksa soup and vermicelli rice dishes to tiger prawn papaya salad. Ask friendly staff for suggestions and they may recommend a hearty, healthy Pho with sliced scotch beef fillet and fresh ingredients such as basil leaves and chilli with a touch of hoisin.
