Eating Around with Em

Bánh-Mì Antwerp

Bánh-Mì is a Vietnamese restaurant located close to Antwerp’s historic centre. The focus lies on the bánh mì, a Vietnamese sandwich served in a light baguette, a legacy of French influence in Vietnam. The menu builds on this base with a range of fillings, from meat-based options to vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Alongside the sandwiches, the kitchen also prepares Vietnamese dishes such as pho, noodle bowls and small sides.

The setting is informal and geared toward quick lunches, takeaway or an easy dinner. The menu remains compact and clearly structured, with attention to fresh ingredients and balanced flavours rather than elaborate presentation.

Em’s star rating

Bánh-Mì is an easy place to return to for a quick, satisfying meal in the city centre. The sandwiches are made fresh and feel balanced rather than heavy, with crisp vegetables, soft bread and well-chosen fillings.

Fun fact

The name bánh mì literally means “bread” in Vietnamese, but over time it has come to refer to the iconic sandwich itself, a fusion of French baguette and Vietnamese fillings that developed during the colonial period of French Indochina.
