About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

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.

Delightful evening in the magical garden behind the restaurant. Delicious food, and efficient and friendly service. Will be back, soon! We ordered every appetizer and a few other things and ate tapas style sharing everything. Easy street parking and quiet atmosphere a big plus!

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.
