Here’s where to eat the best bánh mì in Amsterdam
Little Saigon
It couldn’t be otherwise than to find the first spot right on Zeedijk. But that’s not all, as Little Saigon – which mainly serves Vietnamese street food – also has a location in Amsterdam Noord. Besides delicious bánh mì, they also offer heartwarming pho, ideal for cold autumn and winter days.

Banh Mi Deli
In one of the beautiful corner buildings on Prinsengracht, you will find Banh Mi Deli. A completely green establishment that you simply can’t walk past; green always catches the eye. There is often a queue, but it’s worth it. The bread here is homemade. And from veggie to sous-vide pork, they have everything your heart desires.

Bonjour Caphe
Next to the always popular Saint-Jean, there’s another fantastic hotspot that we bet won’t stay unnoticed on TikTok for long. Bonjour Càphê Amsterdam has been turning heads for over a year now with everything Vietnam has to offer: from rice wine to great coffee, bánh mì, and a large selection of traditional classics with a twist.

Viet View
If you’re visiting the Filmhallen, you’ll want to grab a bánh mì from Viet View. As part of the Foodhallen, it might be hard to choose among all the delicious options, but trust us: Viet View should not be missed. The stir-fried tofu is a must-try.

Nom Nom Vietnamese Eatery
Nom Nom Vietnamese Eatery is located in a side street of the well-known Hoofddorpplein and may easily go unnoticed. Which is a shame, because if you’re in the area, you definitely want to try a bánh mì from this place. Pretty much everything here is homemade: from the Vietnamese butter to the pâté and charcuterie.
