Hoi An is a “foodie’s dream”, with a plethora of delicacies. However, when it comes to hot street cuisine from across the world that no Hoi An travel site neglects to mention, it has to be Banh Mi Phuong (Phuong Bread), which has been dubbed “the best bread in the world” by celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. A loaf of banh mi has a variety of fillings, such as cheese, cha lua (Vietnamese pork bologna), pate, eggs, ham, grilled meat, chicken, and so on; as well as a variety of vegetables, such as cucumbers, pickles, herbs, cilantro, and spring onions. It isn’t complete without the delectable sauce, which is made according to a specific recipe. Banh Mi Phuong is located at 2b Phan Chu Trinh st, Hoi An. Instead of a luxury restaurant or an eye-catching signboard, the little bakery on Phan Chu Trinh Street has a glass display cabinet filled with food, baking ovens, and a few tables and chairs for customers to enjoy. Customers will be lining

up from early morning to late at night, which will surprise you. Because the little bakery is constantly packed, many people choose to sit on the sidewalk. Few people are aware that Banh Mi Phuong has a balcony with views of the streets, spacious tables and seats, and fans on the second floor. Banh Mi Phuong greets customers with the same excitement and friendliness that each loaf of banh mi exudes, leaving travelers remembering not just the banh mi’s distinctive and exquisite taste, but also the sincerity of the people of Hoi An.
