Smashed avo is rare. What St Albans does brilliantly is <strong>Vietnamese breakfast</strong> — pho at 8am, banh mi for $7, ca phe sua da on the footpath — concentrated along the Alfrieda St / Main Rd East strip near the station.</p> <p><strong>Best for:</strong> anyone who&rsquo;d rather eat a $14 bowl of pho tai than a $24 mushroom toast; new-arrival Western-suburbs locals who haven&rsquo;t yet discovered Co Thu Quan; lazy Saturday families happy to drive 15 minutes from Brunswick West for actual flavour value.</p>
