Boulangerie de Saigon

You'll find this Franco-Vietnamese mashup tucked into Low Pavement, where the smell of fresh croissants mingles with the sharp aroma of Vietnamese coffee. The combination shouldn't work, but it absolutely does – flaky pastries sit alongside proper bánh mì stuffed with pickled veg and slow-cooked pork, while the coffee menu spans from cortados to ca phe sua da. The pastry case is where the magic happens: pain au chocolat that shatters at first bite next to Vietnamese-spiced baked goods that you won't find anywhere else in the city. It's become the go-to spot for anyone who wants breakfast that's a bit more interesting than the usual suspects, and the locals queuing up at weekends prove it.
