About Fandango Banh Mi - Vietnamese Restaurant

Warm, crackling banh mi rolls and slow-dripped Hanoi egg coffees anchor this relaxed North Melbourne daytime retreat. The kitchen tucks visible duck pâté into freshly baked baguettes alongside char-grilled meats, skewered pork, and crispy crackling. Out back, diners slip through to the tranquil courtyard garden—where staff routinely greet four-legged companions with bowls of fresh water. Morning regulars pair grilled chicken rolls with thick coconut iced coffee or branch into dedicated vegan bowls heaped with tofu and mushrooms.

  • Crackling Banh Mi: Crusty baguettes loaded with char-grilled pork, roasted meats, and visible duck pâté.
  • Specialty Vietnamese Brews: Traditional Hanoi egg coffee, salted coffee, and chilled coconut brews poured rich and strong.
  • Pet-Friendly Courtyard: A leafy backyard retreat welcoming pets with fresh water and outdoor seating.

    Plant-based diners can enjoy a dedicated vegan menu featuring freshly made rice noodle bowls and rolls packed with tofu and mushroom.

  • Handcrafted Hanoi Egg & Specialty Coffees

    A specialty drink program highlights traditional regional Vietnamese cafe culture, including rich custard Hanoi egg coffee and salted coffee.

    Down the bottom is the strong hit of a typical Vietnamese coffee and the top is a sweet, creamy, custard like layer which is so delicious and refreshing with the crushed iced.

    The coconut ice coffee was also so delicious.

  • Grilled Chicken Bánh Mì

    Grilled Chicken hot bánh mì with seriously authentic Vietnamese flavors 😭🔥 One bite in and I totally understood why this place is always packed.

  • Bún Chả

    I tried the bún chả, and it was amazing: juicy grilled pork, flavorful dipping sauce, and fresh herbs.

  • Crispy Pork Banh Mi

    Then I was blessed to have a crispy pork banh mi and it’s saved my life. Perfect crunch on the crackling. Char grilled smokiness. Duck pate you could see.

  • Skewered Pork Banh Mi

    skewered pork banh mi goes hard - one of those rare occasions where I'd suggest picking it over roast pork because of the intensity of flavour.

Before you head over

Planning tips for timing, custom orders, and outdoor seating on Errol Street

  • Visit at Dinner for a Quieter Pace

    Lunch rushes can get packed, leading to waits around 25 minutes. Head in for dinner instead when it is more relaxed and much quieter to enjoy the full food and specialty coffee menu at your own pace.

  • Customize Your Coffee Sweetness

    Traditional Vietnamese iced coffee is brewed strong and on the sweeter side; staff are happy to adjust sweetness levels upon request to suit your personal palate.

  • Head to the Courtyard with Pets

    If you are dining with pets or a larger group, outdoor seating and the back courtyard provide comfortable open-air space where staff readily provide water and treats for dogs.
