Banh Mi Bay Holborn is a long-established Vietnamese café near Theobalds Road, within walking distance of Holborn, Chancery Lane and Russell Square. It is a practical central London choice for a bánh mì lunch, with a menu that also covers rice dishes, noodle salads and Vietnamese favourites.
The appeal here is choice. The sandwich menu gives meat eaters and vegetarians several routes into bánh mì, while the central location makes this branch useful for office workers, students and visitors exploring Bloomsbury. The format is relaxed and suited to a quick meal rather than a formal occasion.
