About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

Coming Soon! Heat covered patio seating. Opening 11/25/2020

High quality does not have to be pretentious
Unlike other south-east asian cuisines, Vietnamese food has influences from France. Given this influence, cooking is definitely a culmination of East meets West where meals are prepared and cooked for hours rather than flash fried.

With fresh herbs, meats and vegetables, Simply Pasteur goes one step further than other Vietnamese restaurants by crafting our plates to be for a modern-american palette. That is, our cuisine is not only designed to be elegant, but also to be flavorful and to take experience into account.

Come relax and enjoy an elegant pairing of Vietnamese pho, noodles, rice dishes and more with our in-house cocktails, wines and full bar.

It was a very quiet Saturday evening over Memorial Day weekend. There was only one person serving the dining room, but she did an outstanding job; handing the bar and serving tables. The room was beautiful, the music was low and appropriate, and the food was excellent. We'll be back soon...

My 1st visit, and I can't wait to come back and sit on the balcony. The curry chicken was delicious (though not spicy as expected.) The Ginger Chicken was perfectly good, but nothing special. The negroni was also delicious.

Have been to Pasteur many times in the past. This experience was not good. There seemed to be 2 waitstaff for the entire restaurant, so service was very slow and not well coordinated. The food overall was subpar and wasn't nearly as good as it has been in the past. The environment is very nice as usual, but not a good meal for the price.

Pastuer is one of our favorite dining destinations. The food is excellent and the ambience is pleasant. Love it outdoors on a warm summer evening.

The cusine here is absolutely wonderful! The mix of spices gives the palate a most tasteful experience! Veggies are fresh and not over cooked. We enjoyed their signature dish Pasteur’s Filet Mignon. It was divine! The lychee martini was so refreshing a perfect mix. I never eat dessert but actually ordered it and was not disappointed. The pistachio cake was awesome! We cannot wait to go back and try other dishes which they offer. An excellent, family run restaurant, delivering some Vietnamese/French fusion food! Keep up the great work!

Simply Pasteur has become our "go to" restaurant whenever guests are in town or celebrating special occasions. The service and food are always exceptional. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. Simply Pasteur is a lustrous gem in the Edgewater/Andersonville crown.

The food was fantastic as always. We have been coming here for years and are never disappointed. The beef in wine sauce was excellent as well as the crepe. Our other appetizers were very good as well. We had the spring rolls and coconut shrimp. We also had a double order of the catfish in a clay pot. It was a lot of food for two people, but it was so good that we finished it all. You will enjoy the ambience along with the top notch food.

My husband and initially went to the restaurant through a referral and we loved it! Food, ambiance, service, wines, and Kim!!! She is fabulous! We were looking for a restaurant to host a large group so this dinner was to show two other couples what we had been raving about. They found the experience fabulous! And because their impression was pivotal to the decision of the group dinner location, we are thrilled they agreed this will be the spot. We can’t wait to introduce our group to this special restaurant. Thank you, Pasteur!
