170 Boulevard Voltaire, 75011 Paris, France
The owner lists Tuesday–Sunday, 10am–8pm, with Monday closure. These are café hours; they do not resolve the menu’s “coming soon” food note.

How to order well
- Use a house special as the baseline: it reveals the balance of bread, pâté, cold cuts, pickles and herbs.
- Paris baguettes vary from airy Vietnamese-style loaves to denser French bread; compare texture before judging filling size.
- Ask for chilli on the side if you are unsure of the heat.
- Small shops may sell out or keep short lunch hours, so check the same day.
- For a vegan order, confirm bread, pâté, mayonnaise, Maggi-style seasoning and marinades separately.
How this guide was researched
Address and source-link updates: 13 October 2026. HOBA’s resident page supports the Batignolles address, Việt Phê’s owner menu supports its Boulevard Voltaire location and availability note, and France’s official business directory supports Thiêng Heng’s street number. Other entries retain their existing research and should be checked with the venue before travel.
We checked current official websites, menus and location pages, then used established local food coverage for context. We have not presented desk research as a personal visit. Menus, prices and hours can change, so confirm directly before making a special journey.
Paris bánh mì FAQ
Which Paris bánh mì shop is nearest to me?
Choose an area close to your plans and open the directions link for the full shop address. Enter your starting point in Maps to compare routes. The guide does not know your location or promise that a listed shop is open now.
Where is the best area for a first Paris bánh mì trip?
The 13th arrondissement around Avenue d’Ivry offers the strongest concentration of established counters and the easiest walking comparison.
Is Paris bánh mì expensive?
Traditional counters remain among the city’s better-value lunches, while café versions and elaborate slow-cooked fillings cost more.
Can I find vegan bánh mì in Paris?
Some shops list tofu or vegetarian sandwiches, but those names do not establish that the whole sandwich is vegan. Check bread, pâté, mayonnaise and sauces with the branch, and use our Paris vegetarian and vegan guide for the current source notes. Việt Phê’s food formulas are marked coming soon on its owner menu, so confirm availability as well.
