Best Stuffed Baguette (Banh Mi) in Vietnam

Of many baguettes i sampled in Vietnam, the best one was undoubtedly be found in the city of Dalat, a cool hill-station retreat in the central highlands region of Vietnam.

This is due to the many bakery outlets that opened around the downtown area of Dalat. They sell impressive looking breads and cakes. In fact, Dalat is famous for its coffee and cakes.

I've compiled a list of bakeries that sell mouth-watering stuffed baguette (Banh Mi) that taste so good and not expensive at all. It costs only 5,000 VND (0.32 USD) each. They all located at the 3/2 Street (D 3 Thang 2) of Dalat.

My personal favorite is at Tiem Banh Lien Hoa (literally translate Lotus Bakery). Address : 19, 3/2 Street, Dalat. Telephone numbers 063-837303. Their baguettes are the best. Even local people queue up for them.

Alternatively, one may try Hieu Banh Hoan Hy 2's. Address : 14, 3/2 Street, Dalat. Telephone numbers 063-830457.

Bami Kim Anh is the franchise looking Banh Mi outlet located the the corner (or junction) of 3/2 Street. They have variety of fillings that you could choose for your baguettes, i.e. eggs, chicken, beef, kebabs, etc.

Hope you all have a pleasant stays in Dalat. With a cup of coffee and a baguette in hands, take a stroll around the Xuan Huong Lake. What a relaxing moment!
