Saigon Sandwich — Restaurant in Paris

FOOD & DRINKS I am a bit critical when it comes to Banh Mi. I always prefer a Vietnamese baguette but I understand that in Paris you go for the traditional French baguette instead. And since we are in the heart of Paris and the French love their bread, it was good. For me, the huge amount of carrots was more of an issue.

SERVICE Someone took my order at the front and the Vietnamese family made the baguette in the background. Can’t say much about friendliness and hospitality.

Before leaving Paris on a roadtrip, we decided to stop by Saigon Sandwich for some bahn mi's to go. The small storefront was packed whilst we ordered, and the traffic is easy to understand.

My order, a lemongrass chicken sandwich, was okay, the bread a highlight, but otherwise lacked the freshness I usually crave in a bahn mi. On the other hand, my girlfriend's order, 'the classic', was good, with a balanced tandem of savoury elements and fresh.

Overall, if I was looking for a quick and tasty meal in the area, I definitely wouldn't say no to...
