Fast Casual Vietnamese Sandwiches

McDonald's Vietnam Bahn Mi Menu Reflects the Cultural Cuisine

— July 19, 2016 — Lifestyle
The McDonald's Vietnam locations are expanding into the cultural cuisine of the region to offer a spin on the classic fast casual burger menu and include some of the traditional foods of the region, such as bahn mi. The beloved baguette sandwiches will be a part of the Banh Mi McCafe exclusive to Vietnam.

Banh mi sandwiches are a popular fast casual meal throughout Vietnam, and are typically made using a fresh baguette bun and topped with sliced meats and pickled veggies. The Banh Mi McCafe menu will cater to the well-known dish offering three varieties: Grilled Pork, Ham Cheese with Round Egg and Ham Cheese topped with an array of veggies. The meals will be a more Americanized spin on the dishes while retaining a portion of Asian flavorings.
