Monsieur Vo has closed on 2nd Avenue

Monsieur Vo has closed its doors at 104 Second Ave. on the NE corner of Sixth Street. 

Google and Yelp list the well-regarded Vietnamese restaurant as permanently closed. A since-deleted Instagram post noted the following: 
We're bittersweetly announcing that Monsieur Vo Restaurant will be closing its doors after September 21st. If you've been wanting to try our unique menu or if you've been longing for one last visit, now's your chance! 

Come celebrate with us and savor your favorite dishes one last time. Your support has meant the world to us, and we'd love to see you before we say goodbye.
We were tipped off to the closure by an EVG reader who pointed out the Marshal's notice on the front gate dated Tuesday, noting that the landlord is now in possession of the storefront...
The husband-wife duo Chef Jimmy Ly and Yen Vo opened Monsieur Vo here in September 2022. A restaurant rep told us at the time that "Monsieur Vo is the team's love letter to the Vietnamese men in their lives — including fathers, uncles, brothers — and the dishes they love to eat." 

Last fall, Monsieur Vo was one of 11 new establishments added to New York's Michelin Guide

The Second Avenue address was previously their spinoff Madame Vo BBQ, which debuted in 2018 ... though it didn't reopen after the PAUSE of March 2020. Pandemic aside, they couldn't reopen while that block was closed following the devastating fire that destroyed Middle Collegiate Church in December 2020. 

The couple still operates Madame Vo at 212 E. 10th St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue. (It's excellent if you haven't tried it yet.)

When we tried it, it was very good, if a bit pricier than their other restaurant (I think). I'm sorry it's closing....

Banh Mi Saigon is VERY OVERRATED! Paris Sandwich made it's own Vietnamese style baguettes!

Could only afford to eat here twice, but it was very good. Shame it's closed.
