Viet baguette — Restaurant in Calderdale

I’ve just come back from 5 weeks traveling Vietnam and was missing it. I’d seen this place before but never gone in, but I saw they do a banh mi for £7 (which is incredibly reasonably priced in 2025) so thought, why not?

As soon as I saw that not only do they put pate in the bread, they also make their own, I knew I was in for a winner - the owners are also from Haiphong, Vietnam. Another good sign!

Can safely say, this was up there with banh mis you get in Vietnam, even better than many I had over there! The bread (which they make themselves) was crispy on the outside and soft as a pillow inside. The pate was lovely and rich and the pork (particularly the char sui) was brilliant. A little bit of chilli oil was added too which added a nice kick to the sandwich, which is how I like it.

This place is legit and absolutely worth going to for lunch.

Excited to come back for a pho and a Vietnamese...

A nice place in the middle of Halifax high street, ideal for a nice lunch!

They have a wide bubble tea flavour selection here and which are very tasty!

I have ordered noodles with spring rolls which were ok; I have expected a 3 spring rolls instead of 2; too many noodles and a bland Vietnamese sauce. I did fill me up but I was wondering if the flavour were a bit dulled down for the local population as the food overall was bland and lacking.

But I don’t want to be too harsh as the prices were very affordable and the staff...

First time trying some Vietnamese food and it was delicious. I by chance only got the pho soup as the server mistook the item number four for pho! Regardless it was delicious and something I would get again plenty of flavour. The egg noodle was nice according to my wife. Both dishes were reasonably priced but were very large portions. You can get condiments like soy sauce, sambal and sriracha sauce free. We also got a bubble tea but that was disappointing aspect as it lacked flavour, we have had much better...
