MELBOURNE | Co Hanh is a modern Vietnamese restaurant in Melbourne’s CBD that I was recently invited to visit. The food here puts modern twists on the recipes of owner Ray’s mother in law and grandmother, and for the most part it works very well.
The interior lets you know that you’re in a places that’s putting a modern spin on things, with its sleek fit out and neon lights helping to create a vibrant atmosphere.
Highlights are the beer battered turmeric rice flour pancake filled with prawns, pork, and bean shoots, the tamarind grilled prawns, and the tempura eggplant charcoal bao with lemongrass mayo.
The sticky glazed fried chicken wings are pretty fabulous too. For dessert, the light, silky pandan creme brulee really hits the spot.
For drinks, there’s a cocktail menu that takes the same approach as the food – modern cocktails with Vietnamese influences. There’s also a small wine, beer, and spirits list. Try the Co Hanh Ca Phe – a twist on the espresso martini with Golden Rum, Galliano Vanilla, Baileys, Vietnamese coffee, and condensed milk.
Unlike many Vietnamese restaurants in Melbourne, there’s also the option to cook your food on BBQs built into a few of the tables – the kind that you find in Korean BBQ restaurants. I didn’t try the BBQ option when I was there, but it’s certain something that piqued my interest for next time.
