Hai Lúa — Restaurant in Paris

Amazing Vietnamese food in Paris! I was here yesterday for Pho and back today to have their Bo bun special! I have had many Bo bun before but this one is packed with toppings!

The banh mi was flavorful and the baguette was fresh. All of that for just 8€50 - I thought they would be small and not enough food, but the banh mi was a good size. It was the perfect lunch. Will...
