"Bread-watch: The sight of a bread oven always bodes well. A seriously crispy shell, and the inside is as light as a feather. On Bánh’s wall, there is a poster of the ‘Bánh Mì Journey’. It notes when the baguette first appeared (1859), when the sandwich got big in New York (1978-1989), and when Bánh opened in Dalston (2023). What this spot lacks in seating space, it makes up for in texturally eye-opening bánh mì. Every bite of their six sandwich options combines flavorful marinades, crunchy vegetables, and moreish freshly made bread. The original, which has pretty much every part of pig going (including pork floss), is the best bánh mì in London right now." - jake missing
