Best Bakeries in Vietnam
Vietnam's bánh mì is one of the most beloved bakery products in the world — a French baguette remade with Vietnamese flour, eaten filled with herbs, pâté, and grilled meat. Hoi An's Bánh Mì Phượng became world-famous after Anthony Bourdain's endorsement, and the country's bakery culture retains deep French-colonial roots alongside its own identity.
