  • The Vietnamese baguette (bánh mì) is quickly becoming one of London’s trendiest imports. At this new café (which also doubles as an independent art gallery), the baguettes (white or brown) are baked in-house and filled with the requisite own-made pâté, pickled carrots and oriental radish, roasted meats, fresh chillies, coriander and a drizzle of special ‘pork sauce’. There are also spring rolls and various rice dishes to choose from, while the Vietnamese coffee, made the proper way with individual steel drip-filters and condensed milk, is from the esteemed Cà Phê VN. The owners, from southern Vietnam, are friendly and open to feedback.

    I've been to Caphe house a few times since it opened. The dishes are all traditional Vietnamese and very tasty, eg the lotus salad or tofu and tomato.
    The owners are friendly and chatty and for only £5 for most of the food, it's an affordable place to regularly pick up dinner.
    The menu seems pretty dynamic so far with plenty of new dishes, so I'm looking forward to what comes next!
    I'd recommend this place if you're looking to try something a bit different, that doesn't cost too much.
