Bánh Mì Brothers — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Service and ambience are great, and perhaps the non-vegan options have more balance in their flavours, but if you're looking for a good vegetarian/vegan báhn mì, look elsewhere.

The Roasted Cauliflower was under-seasoned and bland, too much shredded carrot compared to the amount of cucumber, too little chilli, yet despite all this the báhn mì was overly salty - drenched with an overwhelming - and unavoidable - soy sauce. A pervasive saltiness without any semblance of balance, overpowering any other notes within the báhn mì. Perhaps the Roasted Cauliflower was seasoned, but any such seasoning was at the least lost as a result.

I popped in here when I was in town one weekend. I was drawn by the excellent reviews and the pics of the sandwiches looked very appealing. I went for opening.

I’ll definitely be back to try a new filling on their...

Popped in for a quick lunch having never tried a bánh mì before, and glad I did! I got the slow-cooked pork bánh mì which was so fresh and full of flavour. Was a nice portion for me on its own but the meal deal is also a good option. Very affordable, in my opinion, for the size and quality of the sandwich, and they also do 10% off student discount. Aside from the staple pork and chicken options they also usually have a special on, and two separate vegan options. The staff were very helpful and polite. The atmosphere in the place was great, cool music playing, the decor is unique and trendy, and was fairly busy mid-week when I went. A bonus is that it is also...
