Vietnamese restaurant · Dorchester

"Bread is at the heart of this French-influenced Vietnamese bakery in Dorchester. Their signature offering, the banh mi, starts with a baguette made fresh in-house daily. Topped with barbecued beef or braised pork belly, a pile of pickled veggies, and a housemade sauce, it’s a hard lunch to beat. Don’t sleep on the robust list of juice and smoothie offerings while you’re at it. Want to add to the order? Special lunch boxes at noontime come with a choice of two hot items like spring rolls and sticky rice, plus a soup." - Celina Colby
