Bánh mì
A French baguette filled with Vietnamese ingredients — pâté, pickles, herbs, charcoal-grilled pork.
- Where to find it
- Everywhere, which is the problem. The good ones are single-item carts that sell one filling and nothing else.
- When it is sold
- All day, but the bread is freshest 6–9am and again around 4pm when the second bake lands.
- What it costs
- 20,000–45,000 VND
How to order it
Hanoi bánh mì is pâté-forward and lighter on fillings than the Saigon version. Ask for "đầy đủ" to get the lot.
We list neighbourhoods rather than street numbers: Hanoi stalls move, and a wrong address is worse than none. The guides below name specific places we stand behind.
