Smells like rice flour and coriander, doesn't it?
The refreshing Vietnamese baguette, called bánh mỳ or bánh mi, is easy to be bought in the streets of Vienna or Berlin, but it takes a while to get one in Brno. However, it is worth the journey.
The only bistro known to me offering bánh mỳ is located in the Vietnamese market at Oloumoucká st. Yes, that Vietnamese market known for loads of fake sneakers and for the big fire that took place there in January 2011.
Take the bus line #31 or #31 departing from the main station and get off at the station U školy. Return some 100 meters and enter the Vietnamese market. At the right side, there is a long, narrow hall with grocery stores and restaurants. The very last place is called “Nguyen” – I guess it is the owner’s name – and is extraordinaly clean, regarding the rest of the market. The sign is not really big, so you will know you are in the right place by entering the bistro via glass door.
You can enjoy your bánh mỳ with eggs or pate – both variants cost only CZK 50. (Various types of phở also recommendable!)
