Banh Mi craving

Hi folks

I’ve been travelling for eight weeks now and will be in Krakow next week. I plan on eating the hell out of plenty of Polish food (even doing a cooking class) but NGL - I am CRAVING a good banh mi. A proper Vietnamese kick-me-in-the-face-with-chilli banh mi.

So my question to the brains trust is - will I find this in Krakow or do I need to wait for another city??

Thank you redditers 🙌

If you can get to Azory (130 bus from main station) you will find Przystanek Wietnam. Incredibly good banh mi. Other places in the city sell them (notably the branch of Wietnam restaurant on Mostowa) but if you want the best, it's out near IKEA. The owner is Polish-Vietnamese and really puts herself into her food with pride.

Where's the one near IKEA? I haven't seen any there.

The answer is in my first reply:) Azory pętla.

I saw your comment and I know this place, but I thought you were referring to another banh mi shop which is actually near Ikea. Because the bus terminus - well, that's... not near Ikea. That's a whole bus stop away and on the other side of the road to boot. This is in no way "near".

It's a ten minute walk, if we're really being that pedantic. I know because I live between the two.
