Bánh mì in Lyon: two lunch options in the 6th
This Lyon bánh mì guide focuses on two verified addresses in the 6th arrondissement: Banh Mi Kitchen on Rue Masséna and Banh Mi Lyon 6 on Rue Juliette Récamier. The useful distinction is the menu format. Banh Mi Kitchen publishes changing French-Vietnamese recipes, while Banh Mi Lyon 6 lists named sandwich choices and combinations. Plan around weekday lunch and check the actual day’s menu before travelling.
Where should you start?
For a changing French-Vietnamese recipe
Check Banh Mi Kitchen’s daily menu. Its dated examples show why the day matters as much as the general restaurant name.
For a fixed filling list
Banh Mi Lyon 6 lists chicken, pork and an egg-based veggie choice, plus a separately described vegan preparation.
For a sandwich-and-drink formula
Banh Mi Lyon 6 publishes several formula prices. Read the inclusions before comparing the total with a sandwich alone.
2 bánh mì stops in Lyon
This shortlist covers 2 businesses across 2 addresses. Prices are dated examples in euros (EUR); owner menus and independent or delivery-platform information are identified separately.
Banh Mi Kitchen
94 Rue Masséna, 69006 Lyon, France · Call the shop
An owner menu built around changing recipes rather than a permanent promise of the same filling every day. It is useful if you want a French-Vietnamese lunch and are happy to choose from the day’s published offer.
Consider ordering: Read the day’s bánh mì recipe before setting out; a dated example used hake with gentle curry, herbs and lime.
Menu price example: The owner’s Friday 23 October 2026 example lists the bánh mì at €11.50 and the separate bowl at €14.50. This is a dated daily-menu example, not a standing price or a promise that the fish recipe remains available.
Opening times: Plan this as a weekday lunch enquiry and check the current owner menu for the exact service. Do not infer evening or weekend availability from an older restaurant listing.
Delivery and collection: Check the owner’s current takeaway or ordering information for that day’s menu. Confirm that you are selecting the baguette rather than the bowl.
Vegetarian and vegan checks: Ask about the day’s recipe and any vegetarian alternative. Fish, butter-based preparation or other ingredients may appear in changing dishes; a fusion menu does not automatically mean a vegan sandwich.

Banh Mi Lyon 6
30 Rue Juliette Récamier, 69006 Lyon, France · Call the shop
A second independent business in the same arrondissement, with an owner-published list of sandwich recipes and meal combinations. It gives a more fixed set of choices to compare with the rotating menu at Banh Mi Kitchen.
Consider ordering: Lemongrass chicken, lacquered pork or the veggie egg sandwich; the owner also describes a vegan lemongrass tofu and plant-based filling.
Menu price example: The checked owner menu lists chicken, pork and veggie egg sandwiches at €7.50. A sandwich-and-drink small formula is €9.50, with larger formulas at €12.50 and €15.50. Check exactly what the selected formula includes.
Opening times: The owner lists Monday–Friday, 11:15am–2:30pm; closed Saturday and Sunday. Confirm holidays and availability near the end of service.
Delivery and collection: Check the selected branch’s live collection or delivery options before ordering.
Vegetarian and vegan checks: The veggie egg sandwich and the separately described vegan sandwich are different choices. Ask for the vegan preparation explicitly and confirm any requested substitutions.

Plan your Lyon bánh mì stop
Build the visit around a weekday lunch
Both researched addresses are in the 6th arrondissement; this is not a claim to cover every part of Lyon. Banh Mi Lyon 6 has a specific Monday–Friday lunch timetable, while Banh Mi Kitchen needs a check of the day’s offer and service. Do not build a weekend plan around an old menu photograph.
Save the exact address and check your route from where you are staying or working. The Lyon panorama introduces the city rather than showing either restaurant. If you want to compare both operators, confirm that both are serving before making the second stop.
Distinguish a daily recipe from a permanent menu
A Friday fish sandwich on Banh Mi Kitchen’s website is evidence of that dated menu, not a guarantee of the same filling the following week. Read the new post or contact the business. This is particularly important if a dietary requirement or a particular protein is the reason for your visit.
At Banh Mi Lyon 6, compare a single sandwich with the chosen formula rather than just the headline figure. At Banh Mi Kitchen, distinguish the bánh mì from the bowl, which is a different meal format and price. Checking those details makes the two businesses easier to compare without pretending they offer identical products.
Vegetarian, vegan and dietary choices
Banh Mi Lyon 6’s egg-based veggie sandwich is distinct from its described vegan option. Specify the preparation you want and ask about sauces or substitutions rather than relying on the word veggie alone.
At Banh Mi Kitchen, check the day’s recipe before asking about a suitable alternative. Explain allergies in clear terms and ask about bread, spreads and shared preparation; a rotating menu needs a fresh ingredient check.
How this guide was researched
Research uses the two businesses’ owner menu and contact pages. Banh Mi Kitchen’s changing menu is dated explicitly, Banh Mi Lyon 6’s vegetarian and vegan recipes are distinguished and meal formulas are separated from sandwich-only prices.
Published sources were checked on 25 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.
