3 bánh mì stops in Canberra
This shortlist covers 3 businesses across 3 addresses. Prices are dated examples in Australian dollars (AUD); owner menus and independent or delivery-platform information are identified separately.
BanMe — Braddon
15 Lonsdale Street, Braddon, ACT 2612, Australia · Call the shop
Located within the Waves carwash site, this is the Braddon option to check for a wide selection of Vietnamese baguette fillings.
Consider ordering: Compare crackling pork, grilled pork, chicken, tofu or mushroom on the current menu..
Menu price example: The owner advertises sandwich combos from A$17. Choose the actual sandwich and inclusions for its current total; a combo price is not a standalone sandwich price.

Vegetarian and vegan checks: The owner marks tofu and mushroom fillings vegetarian. Standard sandwich ingredients include pâté and mayonnaise, so request the complete preparation you need.

Ms Ba Cô — Majura Park
Shop 39, 18–26 Spitfire Avenue, Majura Park, ACT 2609, Australia · Call the shop
The shopping centre’s tenant listing confirms this address and bánh mì offering. It is useful when your plans already include Majura Park.
Consider ordering: Ask which bánh mì fillings are available at the Majura Park counter that day..
Menu price example: A current branch-specific sandwich price was not established. Check the counter or live menu before comparing it with the Acton examples.
Opening times: The centre’s tenant page publishes daily opening from 8am to 7pm. Confirm the kitchen and sandwich availability near either end of that window.
Delivery and collection: Check the live menu for collection or delivery to your address.
Vegetarian and vegan checks: Ask about the bread, pâté, mayonnaise and sauces as well as the main filling. A tofu or mushroom filling alone does not establish that the complete sandwich is vegan.

Plan your Canberra bánh mì stop
Choose your part of Canberra first
These three stops are spread across different areas. Pick the one closest to your actual plans before comparing small price differences. The maps below use individual shop addresses rather than the Lake Burley Griffin photograph as a location marker.
Keep branch details with an online order. A menu for the same brand elsewhere in Canberra may offer different availability, collection slots or promotions. Call before making a journey for a specific filling.
Match the spread to the filling
Crackling pork, grilled pork and a traditional combination give different textures and ingredients. Ask what is included in a traditional sandwich, especially if you avoid particular meats.
A vegetarian filling and a vegan sandwich describe different things. What The Pho’s explicit vegan pâté is useful information; BanMe’s vegetarian symbols need a whole-recipe check. At Ms Ba Cô, ask about today’s actual preparation rather than relying on another branch’s menu photograph.
Vegetarian, vegan and dietary choices
Ask about the bread, pâté, mayonnaise and sauces as well as the main filling. A tofu or mushroom filling alone does not establish that the complete sandwich is vegan.
What The Pho provides the clearest documented vegan starting point in this shortlist. Tell staff about allergies and ask them to check bread ingredients, seasonings and cross-contact separately.
How this guide was researched
Owner menus establish the BanMe and What The Pho offerings; Majura Park’s own tenant directory establishes Ms Ba Cô’s location and published venue hours. Unclear menu-price alignment and older quoted opening times have not been treated as current facts.
Published sources were checked on 26 October 2026. Menus, hours and delivery arrangements can change; confirm directly before a special journey. The archive city photograph is illustrative and does not show the listed shops.
