Brisbane’s Best Vietnamese
Ever wondered where to find Brisbane's best Vietnamese food? Well wonder no more. Style Magazines have got you covered with our top Vietnamese food joints that will curb your cravings, or may have you craving it even more!
After a trip to the captivating country last year, I have developed a serious love for Vietnamese food and it seems Brisbane has quite a taste for the tantalising cuisine as well. There’s a lot about Vietnamese food that makes it so incredibly appealing, from the freshness of the salads and soups to the French influences in dishes like Banh mi. Tuck into these restaurants to satisfy any Vietnamese cravings you may have. If not, you’ll surely develop one by the end!
Mints, Rosalie
The restaurant is always brimming with energy, the staff are efficient and the food is inexpensive and authentic. Mints is BYO, meaning you can pop next door to the bottle shop and pick up a bottle of vino to wash down their tasty dishes. Takeaway meal sizes are generous and quick. Parking can be difficult in the Rosalie Mews complex, but the restaurant provides patrons with car park permits. Must try: Vermicelli noodle salad bowl with pork. So fresh and filling!

The salads and wonton soup are easy and delicious takeaway options for those who are in a rush. The décor is modern but has a straight forward canteen style. Must try: Banh Mi (baguette)
