Mr Cyclo

They were tough, the old days, when people working in South Melbourne would have to try and fit into their lunch break the cross-city trip to Victoria St for some authentic Vietnamese food. Thankfully, those days are over. Now people go in the reverse direction across Melbourne, because Mr Cyclo dishes up delicious, traditional Vietnamese fare right on Clarendon St. Sure, you can find pho just about anywhere now. But the more this classic street-food staple appears on menus, the harder it is to sift through and find a good one. But you’ve found one at Mr Cyclo, where close attention to every fresh, flavoursome ingredient used ensures one of the best beefy broths you’ll ever dribble down your chin. Sit down in Mr Cyclo’s chic, modern dining area and take time to enjoy some fresh vermicelli or a traditional marinated beef skewer. Or grab on the go a colourful, crispy roasted pork banh mi on soft baguette if time is short. You can’t lose.
