I am constantly on the hunt for food spots that feel like a hidden gem while offering the most incredible flavors. Lately I have been completely obsessed with And Banh Mi Toronto and it has quickly become my go to recommendation for anyone visiting the city.

I actually stumbled upon this place during their soft opening phase and I knew immediately that I had to share it with you. There is something so exciting about finding a brand new spot right as they open their doors especially when the quality is already this high. The team has been working so hard to perfect everything and that energy really translates into the space and the menu.

Even during the initial opening days the bread at And Banh Mi was absolutely perfect. It is always so fresh and crispy on the outside while staying beautifully soft on the inside. I love how they balance the savory meats with the bright and crunchy pickled vegetables because it creates a flavor combination that is just so incredibly satisfying.

The Perfect Spot In The Downtown Core

Location is everything when you have a busy day of errands or content creation planned in the city.

Located at 13 Elm Street, And Banh Mi is unbelievably convenient because it sits right in the downtown core.

It is just a short walk from the CF Eaton Centre and TMU which makes it an ideal spot to hit when you need a quick break from shopping or classes.

Having such a high quality lunch option right in the middle of everything is a total game changer. You can easily swing by to grab a bite to eat without having to go completely out of your way.

The accessibility alone makes it a winner but the fact that the food is this top tier means it is bound to become a staple for anyone who spends time downtown.

My Ultimate Must Order Menu Recommendations

If you want the absolute elite experience you need to order the & crackle and pair it with a saigon drip coffee because this combination has a complete hold on me. The savory richness of the crispy roasted pork belly matches so perfectly with a bold, sweet iced coffee. They have a ton of incredible options on the menu, but these are the exact items you need to add to your list for your next visit.

1. & crackle

Don’t skip this one please, the crispy roasted pork belly is an absolute ten out of ten.


2. & lemongrass chicken

Super flavorful and the seasoning is always completely spot on.


3. & cold cuts

A classic selection of BBQ pork, jambon, pork sausage, and pork floss, layered with butter, pâté, and house BBQ sauce, finished with cucumber, pickled carrots and daikon, spring onion, and coriander.


4. saigon drip coffee

A total must try for strong coffee lovers who need a rich afternoon pick me up.


5. matcha latte

This is an absolute must if you love a rich, smooth green tea vibe. It is so beautifully whisked and makes for the prettiest afternoon pick-me-up.

6. lychee iced tea

Incredibly light and refreshing, which complements the spice of the sandwiches so well.

Why This Spot Is A Toronto Essential

Supporting local businesses that prioritize quality and community is so important to me. And Banh Mi has managed to create an immediate buzz because they are consistent and genuinely care about their customers. It makes me so happy to see a local spot thriving while providing such delicious and accessible food.

If you have been looking for a new favorite lunch spot or just want to try a really incredible sandwich you definitely need to put this on your list. I promise you will be just as obsessed as I am after your first visit. It has officially earned its permanent spot in my Toronto lifestyle rotation.
