The Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Paris

Wondering where to taste the better phô of Paris? Are you looking for a flavorful yet cheap bò bún?  Vietnamese cuisine is one of my favorite to discover in Paris, because of its comforting and fresh flavors.

Did you know that Deliveroo’s most ordered dish in Paris was a bò bún? Vietnamese cuisine has become a stable of Parisian culinary habits, so this article is to guide you in your discovery of the best addresses in Paris.

If phô and bò bún are the two cult favorites of Vietnamese cuisine in Paris, the country of course has much more typical dishes to be tasted, and Paris has excellent addresses to satisfy your cravings of Vietnamese food.

I have selected my top 10 Vietnamese restaurants in Paris; to explore them, read on!

1. Bonjour Vietnam

Nestled at the heart of the Latin quarter, it is well known in the neighborhood, for its incredible dishes and cheap prices (lunch menu at 12€). Everything I have ever tasted there was worth it, so I can only recommend it. Their nems and bò bún are to die for.

However, be careful: the restaurant closes on Tuesday, and is really tiny. It is not well suited for a calm and intimate evening – more for a convivial moment around delicious staples of Vietnamese cuisine.

2. Pho Bida

The restaurant is always packed and the indistinct conversations you pick up from customers are often in Vietnamese.

The appearance of the restaurant is not pretentious and the decoration is average, but it is absolutely worth the go: the address is well known of all lovers of Vietnamese dishes.

3. Song Heng

Another well-known canteen in Paris, you will often spot a queue in front of the restaurant at rush hours. What I like most about this place is their phô and bò bún, of course, but especially the prices: count 7.20€ for a really filling dish, and busting with flavors too!

4. Paris Hanoi

Paris Hanoi, yet another classic of Vietnamese cuisine in Paris. I recommend their nems and shrimp dumpling, absolutely fresh and cheap. However, the restaurant is tiny and you cannot call them to reserve, neither pay by credit card: my advice to you would be to go there and take away your food if the queue is too long.

5. Do&Coco

Do&Coco is to my mind one of the best place to explore Vietnamese dishes other than phô and bò bún. Their prices are really low and everything on their menu is mouth-watering. Do & Coco was open by the same team as the famous Do & Riz (located on the opposite side of the sideway), and I actually recommend both addresses.

6. Khai Tri

If you want to taste a really good Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwich with French baguette), Khai Tri is the place to go! This really simple and original address in the 13^th arrondissement is located in a Vietnamese library, and at lunch hour, it is not rare to see clients queuing outside.

7. Atelier Annam

Atelier Annam is another great place to go if you want to taste traditional Vietnamese dishes other than cult classics phô and bò bún. Their cuisine is resolutely traditional and incredibly fresh and flavorful. I strongly recommend their Bun-Cha (caramelized pork and sautéed veggies).

The restaurant is a well-known address for connoisseurs of Vietnamese food, so be careful to call beforehand and reserve your spot.

8. Chamroeun-Crimée

Chamroeun-Crimée is one of the cheapest places on this list. They serve an excellent and really copious bò bún. Count 7.50€ for a medium and 9.50€ for a large (but the large was too big even for my hungry football-player of a friend, so I would advise you stick to medium except if you are terribly hungry).

9. Un jour à Hà Nôi

In the Montparnasse neighborhood, Un jour à Hà Nôi is one the only places I know in Paris which serve banh xeos: Vietnamese stuffed crepes. The cuisine they serve is traditional and fresh; and bonus point: they have a lot of vegetarian options.

10. Cô My Cantine

With its long wooden benches and tables and its generous cuisine, Cô My Cantine is a great address to taste classics of Vietnamese Cuisine. Their phô and bò bún are worth the go if you are passing in the neighborhood, and really copious too.

Bonus Address : Le rouleau de printemps

Le Rouleau de Printemps in an address I recommend less than the rest of this list (it is really too tiny and the service can be less rigorous than the other addresses in this top); however, they serve excellent spring rolls, and most importantly, their prices are really affordable, with dishes costing up to 7€.
