Brodard Restaurant

It has been 25 years since we first served our famous Brodard Nem Nuong spring rolls to diners. We are honored to be a part of our guests lives. Now, as we look ahead to a new year and the evolution of the Brodard family restaurants, including Brodard Chateau andBamboo Bistro, we are excited to share with you the deliciously fresh menu of traditional Vietnamese dishes that complement the changing seasons. But first, wed like to take a moment to reflect on how far weve come. This history of Brodard restaurants has all the elements of an inspiring novel that showcases courage and the triumph of the human spirit. The story begins with our elegant heroine, Diane Dang, whose family are third-generation owners of a popular French bakery, Hoa Binh, in the beautiful coastal town of Nha Trang, Vietnam. After she and her husband, Thuong, immigrated to America with their three children in 1986, her husband opened a bakery. Diane was content to be in her husbands shadow, supporting him while caring for the children. But the family dynamic forever changed in October 1996, when her husband suddenly suffered a stroke and was paralyzed. Diane had to take charge of the business and relied on the things she knew best from her youth: her mothers delicious home-cooked meals and refined parties where family and friends gathered to celebrate with incredible dishes from her familys recipes. Today at Brodard restaurant, Diane has recreated the treasured Vietnamese dishes in the same style and sensibilities, using only the freshest seasonal ingredients from the local markets. Diane graciously welcomes guests at Brodard restaurant as if they were old friends stopping by her palatial home to enjoy the flavorful cuisine from her childhood.
