Vietnamese restaurants in London
7 places
Bánh Bánh
££A family recipe book turned into a Peckham restaurant, run by the grandchildren of the cook it came from.
Banh Mi Kêu
£Bánh mì made to order rather than pre-wrapped, which is the whole difference.
Cây Tre
££Hiếu Bùi is treated as the godfather of Vietnamese food in London, and the bone marrow phở is the bowl that argument rests on.
Hoa Sen
££The roast duck served in lettuce leaves with mango is the dish to order and the reason to cross Covent Garden for it.
Med Salleh Viet
££Grilled Vietnamese street food and phở, run halal by the couple behind Med Salleh Kopitiam - a combination almost nothing else in London offers.
Sông Quê Café
£The Kingsland Road institution that made the street synonymous with phở - strip lighting, fast turnover, enormous menu.
Viet Grill
££The smarter end of Kingsland Road, from the Cây Tre group, with a wine list someone has actually thought about.
