Roll Into Something Fresh

Hugged tightly in soft rice paper, each roll is a little parcel of freshness and flavour

By Samantha McLeod for Caviar Bistro

There’s a satisfaction in light food that is filling. A plate you can enjoy in the sun without ever weighing you down. That’s what Caviar Bistro’s  Saigon Rolls bring to the table.

Hugged tightly in soft rice paper, each roll is a little parcel of freshness and flavour. You can go solo with just one kind or taste them all with the trio.

The steamed shrimp version is soft and clean, paired with crisp vegetables, cool vermicelli, fragrant herbs and a dipping sauce that is sweetness itself.

The lemongrass chicken is tender and warm, the kind of flavour that makes you pause between bites.

And the garlic mushrooms are lush and earthy, nestled into the crunch of vegetables and the softness of rice noodles.

The Saigon Rolls Trio gives you everything at once. A balanced plate. A generous sampler. The kind of lunch you share with someone you like or eat alone while watching the world go by.

It’s the beauty of balance. Simple food and fresh air. And it looks as lovely as it tastes.

Order a beverage, depending on your mood and the time of day.

Come sit by the window or out on the sidewalk. Watch the boats bob on the water.

Take a bite. Exhale. Let the food do the talking.

There is something sweet about a meal that doesn’t demand attention but speaks to summer.
