Vietnamese cuisine's generous use of fresh veggies flavoured by little more than natural spices means it's good for both the body and lips-- more reasons to indulge in Vietnamese staples like pho, banh mi and the ever mouth-watering fresh spring rolls. Have we whet your appetite for some? Here's where to get your fix.
1. Fine Dining: Sao Nam
1 / 1
Tucked in heart of town at Tengkat Tung Shin, Sao Nam comes complete with a Cold War-meets-Indochina chic to give the place a real Vietnamese vibe. On the menu front, it has been practising the same star dishes like mangosteen salad, chicken and beef pho and duck with orange sauce for long enough to get them exactly right. A big bonus is that it has also retained its raffish charm and affordable prices over the years. Find them here.
2. Casual Dining: Du Viet

Du Viet in Damansara Uptown is the perfect place for really good food made for slurping and sharing with friends while you laugh till your stomach hurts and talk till the cows come home. Relaxed and laid back, it's a quaint, cosy spot that lets its food speak for itself whether you're having the summer spring rolls, beef pho or any of its many spiced noodles.

Hassle-free Vietnamese fare is the star here at An Viet,The Gardens Mall, where the food won't burn a hole in your pocket, nor take up too much of your time.

Banh mi baguettes are also fresh and delicious here as are affordable set meals so you can drop by for a taste of Vietnam anytime of day. Peruse their offerings her.
4. Felice Hoa Viet Cafe
1 / 1
In the mood for afternoon tea with a Vietnamese twist? Look no further than Felice Hoa Viet Cafe in Mont Kiara that offers up Northern Vietnamese food that is hard to come by anywhere else. It also cleverly swaps out certain breads for a more tea-time feel like ciabatta instead of baguette for its sandwiches, presenting fresh new ways to enjoy the authentic Vietnamese flavours we have all come to love.
5. Banh Mi: Obanhmi
1 / 1
If banh mi baguettes are all you want all day, everyday, then pop by Obanhmi at any of their outlets. While it does serve a small selection of pho, spring rolls and pancakes, its star are its baguettes which come stuffed to the verge of exploding with generous meat, veggies and paté. It's also worth noting that its baguettes are baked fresh daily in-store so your sandwiches are as fresh as they come. Locate an outlet here.
