A Vietnamese-inspired menu showcasing the best of local Northern Rivers produce, with signature noodles and fresh flavours from the wood-fire grill.

Mr Trinh’s Vietnamese started as a COVID takeaway pivot. We’re excited to share this new version as our first dine-in format of it.

FAMILY & REGIONAL CUISINE
In 2017, chef Ben Devlin married into a Vietnamese family (the Trinhs), and this pop-up residency shares both family faves and new takes of Vietnamese cuisine known for balanced, complex flavors, vibrancy and an emphasis on fresh, aromatic, sub-tropical ingredients.

Theses flavours are also very fitting of Northern River’s climate and produce. It’s an opportunity to show diverse local growers like Concisous Ground, Boon Luck Farm who already farm unique South-Asian ingredients. Ben’s modern French training also explores the French influences in Vietnamese colonial cuisine too.
