STREET FOOD VIET-YUMM

To understand the Bánh mì's origin, you need to go back to the nineteen century, from the time of French Indochina. This hybrid sandwich is born from the association of baguette bread and a garnish with Asian colors.

At the origin, we used to fill with pâté and a spoon of mayonnaise. Its name remember also the french influence on the region : Bánh mì is actually the phonetic derivation of "pain de mie".

It's here that the story of our restaurant begins, Loaf is a French Vietnamese restaurant located in the "Haut du Marais" offering revisited family recipes. That's why, we have created the Bánh mì and bowls with new flavours rooted in the originality

YIN & TRANG

“Born into a family of gourmets and foodies”

The special moment shared over a meal is one of our family's priorities. Ever since I was a little girl, I've been hanging around the kitchen, curious to observe and learn the basics of traditional Vietnamese cooking. I'm always ready to try a new recipe, taking inspiration from the market and the seasons, and from the seafood that comes from the fishing boats.

We are a sibling group of 9 children and our favourite games often revolved around fish, shellfish and crustaceans.

These childhood memories have given me a passion for cooking and a sharp palate, coupled with a touch of Twist when it comes to keeping up with new culinary trends. 


WE LOAF OUR SPECIALITIES 

BANH MI & BOWLS

Originally from Vietnam, the bánh mì sandwich was prepared in a baguette with butter, mayonnaise and pork pâté or roast pork..... But that was before... Today, our recipes are specially created by our chefs to adapt and modernise this great classic of Vietnamese cuisine.

Not in the mood for a Bánh Mì? No worries.

Our Bánh Mì are also available in a bowl version, replacing the base of natural sourdough bread, mayonnaise and homemade pickles with a base of fragrant rice and lemon leaves. 

Working with local producers in the Ile de France region, we take particular care in selecting all our fresh organic products.All our Bánh Mì and bowls are prepared on the spot daily, with seasonal products to give a unique taste to all our recipes.

“Hello ! For someone who was in a relationship with a Vietnamese woman for 8 years and whose parents cooked a lot, your banh mi is really in my top 3 of the best I've ever tasted. It's nothing like the bahn mi you find opposite Trang frères in the 13th district, which are good, but which I find banal. Yours was really tasty and full of flavour. Thank you very much for your food and your welcome, I'll be back. Cảm ơn :D”
