Hochi Mama was the God Mother of all aspiring street artists and rappers in the early nineties. An immigrant in the big city, she hosted underground art shows along with rap battles for the rejects; a place where you could just be at home, but with family. The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

Gorgeous venue, especially on a sunny day as you can sit out under the vine canopy & enjoy being among the truffiere. The service is impeccable; friendly, knowledgeable staff who know their product. The food is to die for, even if you are not a truffle fiend, and you definitely will not walk out hungry. Lots of local beer & wine to choose from too. All up, a wonderful experience.

My experience at The Grande was wonderful. My friends and I will be returning to The Grande later this year. The meal was superb best I have had in a long time. The service was excellent, the music was also very pleasant just loud enough to hear but did overpower the conversation. Thanks for making the visit worthwhile, will certainly be coming back. Thank you
