Thy Thy 1

Description:

• Located up a dingy and nondescript staircase, this restaurant is almost an institution amongst Melbourne's budget gourmets. In fact its popularity has resulted in an offshoot, Thy Thy 2, just down the road at 116. The original's claim to fame is a dark, crowded, noisy room with a student feel, serving inexpensive and utterly authentic Vietnamese dishes. The large menu consists of dozens of rice noodle dishes, soups, pork and chicken combinations and the like, some of which may not appeal to the average non-Vietnamese diner. Pig skin with rice, anyone? For value for the money and truly Vietnamese cooking, Thy Thy cannot be beaten.
