Among Asia's most popular gastronomies, Vietnamese cuisine stands out for its freshness, characterized by the use of fresh vegetables, soy, noodles, seafood and numerous aromatic herbs - including the much-discussed fresh coriander.
Vietnamese cuisine has many traditional must-try dishes, such as the famous pho, a dish of rice noodles and meats served in a fiery broth with many herbs; banh mi, a very popular Vietnamese sandwich made with carrots, coriander, meats and vegetables arranged in a crispy baguette; not forgetting goi cuốn, the indestructible and very healthy spring rolls.
But stepping through the doors of Vietnamese restaurants in Paris also means discovering dishes that are less familiar to French palates, such as Banh Cuon with its glutinous rice paste, Banh Xéo, the richly garnished Vietnamese pancake, or Bo La Lot, the seasoned beef that is wrapped in a leaf of the lot, giving it all its fragrance.
If all that doesn't make you want to take the plunge... Here are the best addresses for Vietnamese restaurants in Paris!
