Restaurant Thang Long

869, cote d'Abraham, Québec, QC G1R 1A4

Along côte d'Abraham lies a small Asian restaurant, almost hidden but well worth a visit. The menu, which combines Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine, offers a nice selection of soups. Be especially adventurous and try the Thai tom yam, with crab and a very spicy broth that will unclog the most congested of noses.
