Jenna had been nagging and nagging like an old lady trying to get us girls to her favourite Vietnamese joint in Old Street. Apparently amazing! But living in W3 we haven't had the drive to head all the way out there until last weekend! Cas, Sal & I met Jenna at Old St tube station and headed to the restaurant, bumping into Jenna's sister along the way who also raved about this place?!! When we arrived we were told it was a 10 min wait...... You can't book tables they're THAT busy! And true to their word it was only 10 minutes until we were seated. Now this place has a time limit on how long you can dine for (90 min to be exact) as seriously they are THAT busy! Jenna the CayTre pro ordered her favs like beef bun sa, prawn summer rolls, Vietnamese pancakes and we added a few newbies, the chillied salt & pepper soft shell crab, fillet mignon & chicken royale. The food came super quick and OMG it looked and smelt fantastic. Sal nearly stopped breathing when it arrived she was that excited! Lol! All the dishes were ridiculously yum, light and the great thing about Vietnamese is that is also pretty healthy! We were so impressed by the food that we had to order a red wine to celebrate. Check out the pics to see their HUGE wine glasses. It always tastes better from a nice glass. Well our 90 minutes was up, time to leave. But not before we payed our bill of course. 4 starters, 3 mains & 3 glasses of wine and great service came to £66....... £16.50 each!! I think that's super cheap for the best Vietnamese I've ever tasted. If you don't experience the CayTre while in London you need to be shot!
