[2024 Hoi An Restaurant] Travel Guide for Banh Mi Phuong (Updated Oct)

Hoi An Best Bread

#celebratewithtrip Hoi An is known as the intersection of many cultures hundreds of years ago. This is not only reflected in the architecture, but also the cuisine here. Banh Mi Phuong is a typical dish for this statement, because its delicious taste convinces 100% of diners. It is located in 2B, Phan Chu Trinh, Cam Chau, Hoi An, and is open daily from 0630-2130. The sauce is prepared by the owner according to a unique esoteric recipe that makes you fall in love from the first taste. Banh mi Phuong produces the crust right at the store, ensuring you always have hot, crispy bread with an attractive butter smell. Here, you will see a simple glass cabinet containing more than 20 kinds of fillings and ingredients for you to choose from. In particular, all are freshly cooked to ensure safety and hygiene for visitors. I ordered a pork type and brought it back to my hotel for supper, it still tasted pretty good.

The “famous” bánh mì in Hoi An

You must try Bánh mì in Hội An. Similar to other dishes, banh mi here is slightly different from the one from Ha Noi or from Saigon. First, the banh mi (baguette) itself, it’s thinner and more pointed at both ends compared to the rounder one in Saigon. The fillings are also slightly different. We tried the mixed baguette (Banh mi thap cam) to have a bit of everything. The flavors were milder than my expectation. This is a very famous banh mi in Hoi An or even the whole Vietnam thanks to Anthony Bourdain. You can see stream of tourists dropping by to try this banh mi. You can get a sit inside before ordering too. Though there is a queue, it moves pretty fast. #bucketlistreboot

A nice walk in this little town filled with cultures, great people and food! Anthony Bourdain did not disappoint us when we tasted that famous banh mi is pure deliciousness! I’ve visited other water town in other parts of Asia but this one stands out, a must visit when you find your self in Hoi An. #happynewyear #givethanks #couplestrip #deliciousfood #historicallandmarks #happynewyear

The magnificient Hoi An Banh Mi, Banh Mi Phuong

#timetotravel After having our lunch in Hoi An, we were looking for some snacks to bite on. Typically if you visit Vietnam, the most typical snack that you will have is Banh Mi, a kind of localized sandwich in Vietnam. After reading several reviews we found that the best Banh Mi is Banh Mi Phuong, which gets its fame after celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain visited Hoi An and gave a big thumbs up to this sandwich. Thus we also queued up and decided to gave a try. To our surprise this is gonna be one of the best sandwich we ever had in our life. The texture of the meat is awesome, paired with their special homemade sauce in sweet and savoury taste, and the crust of the bread is so crispy, that we would definitely have one more.

Mouth watering Banh Mi Phuong in Hoi An

Banh Mi Phuong has 2 options where you can dine in or take away. We decided to dine in because we did not want to stand in the queue. Surprisingly, service was fast. We appreciated the good recommendations from the server where we had the mixed meat Banh Mi and Coconut Coffee. The extra chilli paste that he brought us to try, takes the whole Banh Mi experience to another savoury level. If you are wondering about the passport photos at the glass tables, these are left by past diners who want to leave their mark at the 2b Phan Chu Trinh outlet. Drop by this outlet for breakfast or lunch when you’re out at the walking streets of Hoi An's Old Town.#bánhmì
