Pho By Night
"Ottawa's authentic Vietnamese pho — halal-friendly since 2000."
For more than 25 years, Pho By Night has perfumed the ByWard Market with the slow alchemy of long-simmered bone broth and freshly hand-pulled noodles. The same family has run the kitchen since 2000, and their thoughtfully curated halal-friendly menu — from the signature Supreme Soup Bowl to the spicy lemongrass beef bánh mì — proves that tradition and dietary mindfulness can share the same bowl. Late-night service, multicultural soul, and a loyal following of regulars make it one of Ottawa's most cherished halal-friendly destinations.
