Since our PHO Day is falling on Christmas Eve (short day), We will be serving PHO on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Due to the most recent regional shelter in place order and the demand of Takeout orders, our kitchen will be closed at 7:30pm everyday until things changed. On a good note, I am here from open til closing everyday; BREAKFAST is available ALL DAY!!!

Anyone can cook PHO. But few can elevate the Vietnamese classic from a simple noodle soup that is tasty, aromatic, and comforting to a healing and rejuvenating bowl of ambrosia that’s as close to Heaven as food can get! At the Britannia Arms, PHO isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience. Our PHO recipe has been in the family for generations. Cooking PHO is a lengthy process, requiring hours of simmering and skimming the broth to remove virtually all of the fat and other impurit...ies. To make our lovely PHOwhich has become an eagerly anticipated favorite among Capitola localswe combine herbs and spices, such as ginger, clove, cinnamon, star anise, peppercorn, and coriander seed. This special blend of seasonings not only enhances the broth’s flavor, but also infuses it with powerful medicinal properties, as indicated by scientific research. Ginger reduces pain and inflammation, quells nausea, prevents stomach ulcers, improves digestion, stimulates circulation, boosts brain function, alleviates menstrual cramps, and inhibits rhinovirus. Clove is high in antioxidants, can kill bacteria, protects against cancer, regulates blood sugar, promotes liver and bone health, and reduces stomach ulcers. Cinnamon has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds, lowers blood-sugar and cholesterol levels, reduces insulin resistance, and cuts the risk of heart and neurodegenerative diseases as well as cancer. Star anise, another antioxidant, soothes cough and fights the flu, treats digestive ailments, improves sleep, protects against cancer, regulates blood pressure and circulation, improves lactation, inhibits fungal infection, prevents arthritis and osteoporosis, and detoxifies. Peppercorn increases nutrient absorption, clears congestion, fights cancer, combats arthritis, and stimulates the appetite. Coriander seed aids in blood clotting and bone repair, lowers cholesterol, increases metabolism, and promotes healthy hair and skin. All in all, PHO at the Brit is a steaming, flavorful bowl of magic that warms the heart, feeds the body, and soothes the soul. We offer it with love. ON SPECIAL every THURSDAY!!!

We are closing on CHRISTMAS DAY! We’re OPEN until 6pm on CHRISTMAS EVE!!! Happy Holidays To All!
