Update 2017: Sadly, Madam Vu is now permanently closed. In it’s place is now a delicious fresh pasta place. If you’re craving banh mi, head over to ĂN BÁNH MÌ.
When questioning ourselves on what to eat in the city, going for a banh mi sandwich is always on our list. A steady staple of ours is always the delicious ĂN BÁNH MÌ, but now there’s a new kid in town. Tucked away in the Carlsplatz Market in the Altstadt area, Madame vu is a nice stall covered in a super cool wooden structure that serves mainly vietnamese style dishes. They have tons of house teas and sauces for sale as well. On the menu are banh mi sandwiches, Pho soups, Noodles and salad. You get a choice of any of these with either tofu, beef, chicken or fish. We grabbed ourselves a tofu bahn mi and some summer rolls. The soft silken tofu was super nice and crispy on the outside. The only downsides of this place was that the lady who took our order was a bit rude. So this means that we will have to visit again and see, especially because the location is great, but for now our hearts still belong to ĂN BÁNH MÌ!
