Like many Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam has contributed greatly to Melbourne’s remarkable cuisine and character. When Australia opened its doors to immigration through the 70s and 80s, refugees from Vietnam came over and brought their cultural wealth with them.
Since the 70s, we have stories of Vietnamese families coming to Melbourne with nothing, and achieving their version of the “Australian dream”. They arrived full of ambition, successfully raised a family, and stayed close to their cultural roots through sharing culinary dishes from every region in Vietnam. Many of the Vietnamese restaurants in Melbourne are run by Vietnamese-Australians with a similarly inspiring backstory.

Pho
One of the heartiest soups on the planet.

Banh Mi
Perfect as an on-the-go meal, dozens of Vietnamese restaurants in Melbourne market these dishes as affordable street food during the day. With marinated meats, onions, coriander seasoning, cucumber, carrots, and chili, these sandwiches are the Vietnamese answer to a Philly Cheesesteak - just a lot less messy.
