Where To Find Perth’s Best Bánh Mì
If you’re not aboard the bánh mì train yet… where’ve you been? This marvellous creation is what happens when zingy Vietnamese street food falls in love with delicious French baked goods. At first glance, it might look like a simple baguette, but take a bite and everything changes. You get the crackly crust, the soft and fluffy inside, plus a riot of fillings: savoury meats, silky pâté, tangy pickled carrots and daikon, fresh cucumber, herbs and a kick of chilli (if you can handle the heat, of course).
So, forget your sad packed lunch tomorrow and go try one of Perth’s best bánh mì instead.

DJ’s Willagee is one of those spots that actually lives up to the hype. The buns are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and packed with fresh, flavourful fillings. The roast pork banh mi is the undisputed fan favourite, bringing together juicy, crispy pork with all the crunchy, zingy extras you want from a great banh mi. They also have vegetarian options, breakfast staples, Vietnamese iced coffee, and ready-to-go sandos for when lunch needs to happen yesterday. Just be prepared to join the lunchtime queue – this place gets busy for a good reason.

When the banh mi craving hits, Saigon The Go is ready to answer the call. The pork banh mi is the crowd favourite, stuffed into a crusty roll with all the fresh, punchy flavours you’d expect. But if you’re after something a little different, the menu also runs the Vietnamese greatest hits. Think steaming bowls of pho, noodles, rice bowls, and fresh rice paper rolls, paired with their famous egg and salt coffee. With gluten-free options available, this is a solid spot for a quick Vietnamese feast.

The Rocky Bay Patisserie is bringing a little Vietnamese-Australian fusion to Safety Bay, and its banh mi are leading the charge. The roast pork and traditional banh mi are the big hitters, packing plenty of crunch and flavour into every single bite. Not in the mood for a sandwich? Rocky Bay Patisserie has you covered with their crispy chicken and lemongrass beef bowls, serving up hearty, flavour-packed alternatives. It’s part bakery, part Vietnamese lunch stop–and very much worth the trip south.

At North 54, the humble bánh mì gets a bold, modern makeover. Chef Bac Pham reimagines the classic Vietnamese roll with creative fillings and big flavours. Think roast pork marinated in fermented red bean, hibachi-grilled chicken, or gooey ‘son-in-law’ eggs with tamarind mayo and crispy shallots. Packed into light, crusty bread and layered with herbs, pickles and punchy sauces, these bánh mì deliver the perfect mix of crunch, freshness and flavour in every bite.

Munch Box is a fan favourite: their food is fresh and tasty with a variety of fillings to choose from. Liz is a fan of their breakfast bánh mì, which comes with egg and grilled minced pork with soy sauce and chilli. Their traditional bánh mì are served on crusty baguettes with pickles, fresh salad, chilli and of course, yummy mayo and pâté. Choose one of their many fillings, which range from crispy chicken to cold cuts, roast pork and shredded tofu. Munch Box can also make most of their rolls gluten-free if that’s your jam.

Surprise, surprise, another killer food joint that’s located within Coventry Village.

And in the Vietnamese roll department, Roll Vs Bowl takes the cake. Joey loves their fresh ingredients paired with roast pork. Chef’s kiss.
