Bep Viet in City of London, Westminster

as always, we always love to try diffrend type of food, so we love going to covert garden and we saw this restaurant, i think thery have many branches, i am not sure 100%, anyway, we went to eat here and we like it, we have fun and lovely meal.

Booked for our anniversary this was a pleasant restaurant, good staff who were very attentive and the food although not quite 100% authentic reminded you well enough.

Bep Viet looks like a small corner restaurant with limited space but has a large cellar area with a good atmosphere. The set meal was good with the starters being more appetising than the main courses. We chose a middle of the road white wine which was pleasant enough at £17 and doused the chillis down! Overall a good meal but not in the great category but would return again however.

Eating in Covent Garden when the main intention is to talk is often hard, most of the restraunts being very noisy. We thought the Bep Viet looked quiet, and Vietnamese food is a bit of a rarity, so we tied it. Very disappointing. My prawn dish was under-flavoured, my friend's monkfish was flavoured to extinction, and the noodle accompanyment we ordered was tiny. A very limited menu, too. Would not recommend.

Authentic Vietnamese fare. Reasonable prices. Attentive service. HOWEVER they are reluctant to allow new customers in during the last hour of opening. This makes no sense, as the typical meal time at Bep Viet takes 30 minutes.
