The most delightful surprise. I left with two little bags packed with goodies for $10. And EVERYTHING was delicious! The banh mi was excellent. I agree with another review, the fillings were skimpy compared to say, Subway, but the quality & flavors were craving worthy. And for $3.95?! I wish I'd bought 10 more, I wouldn't have cooked for a couple days. The bao was also delicious. I recommend a splash of soy sauce. The croissant pastry filled with sausage also delicious, the pastries, everything was yummy. I can't wait to return. I want to go back for more and some Vietnamese iced coffee too!

This bakery is a hidden gem. A great dessert after grabbing some pho next door. I was amazed at while delicious the cream puffs, croissants, and cream horns were. This is a great find for thoughts wanting great French desserts and wanting to skip the lines at petite province.

Bahn Mi, steamed buns... Ya, this place is legit. Don't think because the sandwiches are less than 4 bucks that they are super small. Super cute clean little place with very nice people running it. I bought so much food I had an extra sandwich sit in the car for hours and then ate it and it was still amazing.
(5)Agnes D.
Great French pastries. The creme puffs are delicious and are a perfect size. Not too big or too small. The pastries here are not too sweet but is still sweet enough to satisfy the soul. Not to mention their Vietnamese coffee and banh mi sandwiches. Yum
(5)Chris B.
Their bahn mi's are insane!! They are probably more addicting than crack. The bread is wonderful. Nice crusty exterior and airy middle. The lemongrass chicken is phenomenal and the grilled pork is equally as good. The veggies are always fresh and tasty. Their baked goods are awesome too. Especially the eclairs. Prices are awesome as well. If you are craving a bahn mi and an awesome sweet treat, this is the place.
(5)Cass M.
With the newly enlarged seating area and display case I have upgraded this to five stars!! Grab a treat after eating at Pho Oregon or stop in for an awesome sammy, we stop in when we re out walking the dogs and Lanvin never disappoints..
(5)Lawrence P.
Great prices in a small friendly cozy place, the cream swan is the best thing in the whole place. Excellent Vietnamese and french cuisine and right next to the greatest Pho place in Portland.

Lanvin, where have you bahn all of mi life? It's a real Vietnamese-French bakery, smack in the middle of a Vietnamese shopping mini-center. So don't expect any neo-bohemian fanciness or really any non-Asian folks. What you can expect is amazing baked goods and blow-your-mind bahn mi. This place is a bakery, not a restaurant/cafe... so you'll be getting it to go. Good luck getting anything home before you eat it all.
(5)Priti K.
Super friendly people. The sandwiches are amazing. The lemongrass chicken and BBQ pork are delicious. Son, the owner said that he along with his wife make everything from scratch, even the puff pastries! I love going here and trying out the different goodies.
(5)Lin H.
This place is cute. I can't help but love bakeries and what not where an azn grandmotherly sort is fixing me food. That said, it doesn't have the amazingness of an xuyen and their desserts or the convenience of best baguette's conveyor belt/drive through/near the 205 service. I probably wouldn't go to here if it was all out of my way. But Hong Phat sells their sandwiches for $2.50 and that's pretty satisfying if a banh mi place isn't nearby. Other than that, last summer they had a shave ice machine. That was cool and might make them worth going out of your way for if you have a need for a sandwich and some shave ice. Otherwise, while good, I'm not sure what perks put Lanvin above some of the other well known banh mi places. Oh, I thought of one more. Pho Oregon makes it smell amaaazing there, so that's nice. This is probably the perfect pho and pastry combination corner.

I'm so glad we stopped in here after grabbing some giant vats of pho to-go next door. While it doesn't look like much from the outside, Lanvin is choc-a-bloc with amazingly delicious pastries - which happen to form the bottom and largest layer of my own personal food pyramid. Their cream puffs are the most delicious, unassuming things. Mine was eaten in the car - before we could even get out of the parking lot. Classy! Their chocolate croissant had a little additional twist of some tasty cream filling on top of the regular chocolatey goodness - unexpected and appreciated. Oh and their cream swans? To die for. I'm going to have to come in for a whole platter of them sometime soon to serve at a party (or eat myself before the party begins... we'll see how it goes). Based on the other reviews, I can't wait to come back and try some banh mi and savory pastries!
(4)J D.
Lanvin bakery is really solid. I like their bbq pork sandwich (but prefer the bread at Binh Minh better). What really makes this place delicious is their Pate Chaud!!!! Their flaky meat turnover comes in 2 sizes and the meatball inside is perfection. Since they're a bakery they have the flaky pastry perfect! I will prob go elsewhere for a Vietnamese sandwich but will likely be back to buy the Pate Chaud by the dozen!! P.S. Also bought a banh Bao to go but haven't eaten yet. Looks and smells delicious though!

After epic feasts at Pho Oregon ( yelp.com/biz/pho-oregon-… ) it was only natural to extend the eating hurrah to next door Lanvin. Easy to miss with little signage and tight parking, it is one of the better banh mi options in a city that has so much to offer on the Vietnamese front. It is by all accounts, a true bakery. This means they bake their own baguettes and offer a variety of other carby edibles like croissants, eclairs, and raisin bread. They also act as the supplier to other restaurants who are banh mi'ing it up. With bread being perhaps the most vital component to a good banh mi, Lanvin has done a good job featuring an airy, crispy baguette to accompany a myriad of classic fillings. Of the latter, the one I've enjoyed most is their banh mi xa xiu (aka meatball!). It's hearty, garnished with plenty of shredded pickled daikon / carrot, along with a smear of pate, and a good stuffing of the meatball. It might be one of the most popular sandwiches on the menu and without a doubt among the tastiest. There isn't any seating really so be prepared to order it togo. Call in ahead of time for banh orders of 5 or more and be sure to say hello to the lovely hubby and wife team that keep this operation running. Banh Mi might be everywhere in Portland, but Lanvin is always a sure bet.
(4)Joe T.
Lemon grass was awesome, you have to try it out! The meatball sandwich was okay but not as good as some of the interviews had said. I was disappointed that the barbecue was out of stock and next time I will get there earlier. The staff was super nice and will come again.
(4)Oli M.
OMG the Bahn MI is good, the bread is fresh and the cafe suda is perfect. Call ahead if you're in a huge hurry. It might take a few minutes to get your fresh warm sandwich.
(4)Jennifer L.
Their banh mi is good. Bread is nicely toasted yet soft. Toppings are nicely flavored BUT very skimpy. Their sweet rolls were dry. Cream puff was...edible but I will never buy it again; the custard cream was crumbly -- how could that even be?!
(2)Haroun K.
Out by Rocky Butte, in the midst of some mild Portland exploration, we needed some snacks. Lanvin did us right. There's a respectable variety of French and Vietnamese pastries. We got about 8 french pastries which we ate in about 8 seconds. My favorite was the chocolate croissant, but they were all fantastic, and pretty well priced. There's also an interesting selection of canned sodas and other drinks in the cooler, such as Yeo's chrysanthemum iced tea. I'm pretty sure I'll be back, when I take my next visitors to Rocky Butte.
(4)Brian H.
The best thing about Vietnamese bakeries is they're known for their French influence baking skills and low prices. From the good reviews, I couldn't wait to visit this little gem. My expectations fell flat than I was looking for. The pastries tasted OK,but they were stale. Don't get me wrong, they have the knowledge to put out quality products. It's just the freshness of their products that will hurt them in the long run. If I caught this place on the day of the pastries coming out of the oven, this would of easily been a 4 star review.
(3)Lih-Wern W.
It was ok. The pastry I got was not great nor was it bad. It was just ok. The banh mi I got was the same. With Pho Oregon next door, I think it's better to go there for food and here for dessert if you were to go here.
(3)Kaleesa T.
I get their banh mi sandwiches from an Asian market, I've gotten 3. The first time I didn't read the label an got a mouth full of jalapenos. The second time I read the label and it said pepper but not jalapeno and I got a mouth full of jalapenos. This is the 3rd and last time I am getting their sandwich. The label says black pepper and green onions. I opened my sandwich before biting into it and found jalapenos from one end to the other. If they can't be bothered to put everything on the label, I fear what else they can't be bothered with.
(1)Kat N.
I've been going to this place since I was kid and it's been the same owners for the past 20 years. I survived high school lunches by coming here and getting a banh mi and can of soy milk for $2. Those $2 days are over, but the sandwiches are still just as good and still very affordable. Their pate choux are always flaky and full of meat and now that they've expanded, they have even more yummy pastries and desserts. The sweet, little older woman makes a mean cafe sua da, too. Go check 'em out and try something new. They haven't been around this long for nothin'.
(4)Jessica A.
Delicious and cheap bahn mi. I especially like the BBQ pork.
(5)Dana S.
The first thing you notice when you step inside is how amazing this place smells--definitely get something from the bakery. This is one of the better banh mi I've had in pdx. I got the tofu version, and the fillings were flavorful but on the skimpy side. The bread was crisp but not too crunchy, which is a huge plus. I'm still chasing the banh mi mastery I know from San Francisco, but this provided a needed banh mi fix. I'd come back if I were in the neighborhood, but it's not worth-a-trip good. Overall, 3.5 stars.
(3)Brett L.
The rolls are amazing but the banh mi filling as a whole is a little bit on the skimpy side. So little meat and so many carrots! Why?!
(3)Paul H.
I go here too often. It's just simply delicious. If you like Vietnamese sandwiches this is your place. Give anyone of them a try because they are all good. And they are all cheap. And if you need a sugar boost, try something in the case. Lots of cool stuff in such a small shop.
(5)Izzy N.
First I'd like to say: it's spelled fuckin BANH mi dammit NOT bahn mi!!!!! UGH. Quit it!!! And no it's not pronounced bon mi so you think to spell it baHn mi. It's pronounced more like bann mi. Damn ignorant people. Butchering shit where ever they go. Go eat your panera bread. BTW a publication recently spelled it wrong too, and you better believe I'm correcting them! Amatuer editors. Dumb bitches. Anyhow, we've been going here for 25+ years! Can't believe it but I grew up eating Lanvin banh mi thit and pastries. It's always been good and my dad regularly would buy lanvin baguettes for the vietnamese beef stews he'd make. Sometimes my parents would buy the baguettes, the meats, pate and butter type spread they make here by the pound so we can make their banh mi thit at home through out the week. Banh mi thit for school lunches. So if you want to do that, they are willing to sell you the ingredients to build your own fresh banh mi thit at home. THIS is my favorite banh mi thit. It's either this or An Xuyen for me. It even beats out some california banh mi thit IMO. Chicago's banh mi thit looks and tastes like it was made by blind 3 year olds compared to this. I recently visited Portland and picked up 2 to take back to Chicago. It's really good here and for take out they will pack your veggies separately in a ziplock bag. I like that. What else do I like? The flan is pretty awesome. It was my favorite as a child and lanvin still makes a fantastic version of it. I also prefer the cream puffs here because they are not too sweet and the filling is custardy, just the way I like it. The eclairs and fruit filled pastries are fabulous as well. My family also loves their banh pate chaud. It ALWAYS comes from here. Weddings, funerals, parties- we'll have a giant pan full of banh pate chaud. Portland hardly has any bad banh mi thit but Lanvin is my all time favorite. It's cheap and the meats are delicious! Their head cheese is amazing and perfectly seasoned in a subtle way. That's one of my favorite parts of lanvin's banh mi thit- the head cheese. My mom and youngest brother are super picky and they frequent Lanvin atleast once a week.
(5)Matt V.
Lemon Grass chicken sandwich was fine. Nothing to write home about though. The ladies behind the counter were sweet. odd neighborhood to have a restaurant though...I was a wee bit sketched out
(3)Linda S.
I thought we had good banh mi in Houston!!! I walked in to the bakery and it was like being a kid in a candy store-- everything looked and smelled soooo good! We had just eaten at the Hanoi Kitchen and thought it would be nice to have a little something for our road trip to the coast. They also had bahn bao and pate chaud that looked really good but we left with a banh mi thit nuong and a dac biet as well as a cream puff and a raspberry pastry. We ate our sandwiches HOURS later and they were freaking delicious! I'm sure they would have been even better eaten fresh. If you live in Portland and haven't visited-- do yourself a favor!!!

After a nice lunch at Pho Oregon, a lot of folks drift into Lo Banh Mi Lanvin French Bakery. It's a very small space, and when I was there, the twelve or so people crowded into the place were getting pretty cozy. The chocolate eclair was to die for, and the coconut-cake-thing was nice as well. Don't let the proprietor's unassuming manner fool you - this woman can bake.
(4)Mister A.
It's not my first trip to this tasty bakery. I found myself here this time after being let down by my iced coffee at Pho Oregon. Yes I left that coffee and ran next door. With tears in my eyes and my arms flailing side to side this bakery redeemed my craving for cafe sua da. She never let's me down. The sandwiches here are a cheap price but as good as best baguette without the fast food look. Also, it's a bakery so they DO make their own bread.
(5)Brad C.
This place is the old school vietnamese banh mi joint in Portland. Just ask the guy at the counter, I think he mentioned it five times. Been around forever, he says, unofficially the first of its kind in this fare city. Unfortunately they may be resting on their reputation more than a little bit. The name alone is a throw back to when it wasn't popular to toss too much Vietnamese lingo up on the sign in a lily-white burg like Portland. The sandwiches are still 1980's cheap but they weren't the best, mainly due to the bread. I would say the place is a hidden gem but no it wasn't, just crammed inconveniently off 82nd and providing decent banh mi.
(3)Big S.
The best Banh Mi sandwiches in the Portland Metro area!! I also grab some sweet rolls with raisins; outstanding!
(5)Ashley C.
Lanvin has been around for the Portland establishment as long as I can remember. They used to be on Sandy and now on 82nd, right next to Pho Oregon. Sounds like food heaven to me. Upon entering the shop, you'll feel like you're entering your walk-in closet. There's very little room, so it's simply for take out. There is a small table with some chairs, but it can get crowded very quickly and the chiming of the bells when people open and closes the door can get to you quick. I love the menu list hung on the wall, I think there's about nine lines all together and less than 30 words. Keeping it simple is good. The ironic part is the selection of bakeries, desserts, and sandwiches around you. The menu doesn't capture all they have to offer. Do try out the little pile of desserts stacked up in front of the counter, great marketing. Also, on a cold day, ask for the "banh bao" - combination flavor. It will hit the spot. The great think about Asian desserts is that you can consume a large amount, and not be filled with a sugar hide. Sugar is used in small dosage, yet you get that sweet taste without making you sick. The texture may be a little tricky at first to get over, but you'll get use to it. Don't be surprise that some of the desserts are eaten hot. Asians like their food warm including desserts. This may sound crazy, but try the green beans dessert covered with coconut or the beans with rice dessert covered with coconut. I think you may be surprise how great they are. Do keep in mind that anything covered with coconut will be very sweet, so it may cause you to bounce around like Tigger after a few minutes. I usually eat small portions and save some for later, so I don't get bombarded with sugar-mania.

sigh. huff. long sigh. going to have to keep this short. having a hard time breathing. my poor diaphragm can't expand because of my fat bloated tummy. evil greedy tummy who wouldn't stop snarfing crispy, tangy mouthwatering bánh mì. bad tummy makes the rest of us suffer. [suck it up! it was worth it. drool.] star 1: freshly made Vietnamese baguette bread--crispy on the outside, light & fluffy on the inside. huff. star 2: tangy well pickled do chua, julienned jalapeño & crunchy cucumber spear, ooo i'm salivating again! star 3: lots of different fillings: thit nuong (which was roasted instead of actually grilled but yummy), thit quay (roast beef or chicken) xá xÃu (Chinese BBQ pork), dac biet (special with deli meats) star 4: yum, traditional desserts many French influenced (palmier, chè: sticky puddings made with rice + different fruits or mung beans +/- coconut milk, petit choux). try the bean & coconut milk chè, it's scrumdillyicious! the apple danish is really a croissant filled with apples, flaky & buttery on the outside, tangy apple goodness on the inside. star 5: reserved for future explorations altho i almost want to give it for the cute little grandma at the counter! long sigh.

Awesome banh mi. New York City really doesn't have any good banh mi (except maybe World of Taste in the Bronx), and they're all really expensive. You got us, Portland! The wait was super long, but the ladies behind the counter were friendly. My friend had a bacon banh mi! That's brilliant! I don't know why I didn't get that, now that I think on it. Well, no worry, I loved the meatball and BBQ pork sandwiches I had anyway. We also had great iced coffees and a tasty pastry with sesame seeds and some sort of yellow bean paste. They open at 7 am, so we were able to have banh mi for breakfast and lunch as we drove way far away to Olympic National Forest.

Yay! We have been on a quest for good Bánh mì since we moved here from California. We tried the ones at Binh Minh Bakery, which are really delicious, but they don't have the veggies or the juiciness we were used too. The sandwiches at Lanvin are about 50% larger than others I've seen, with more veggies too! It's just a tiny shop in the building behind Pho Oregon with only one table. We both ordered the BBQ pork sandwich $2.50. My only complaint was that the meat was a little fatty for my tastes. I'll try the chicken sandwich next time. A warning for the sandwiches: halfway through I got a spicy surprise. If you don't like jalepenos make sure you let them know! For dessert we ordered 2 palmiers (little sweet French pastry cookies) and a pineapple danish. The danish was awesome but the palmiers were sadly tough, and not terribly sweet. I look forward to trying other treats, especially the little swan pastries! Check it out, you won't regret it.

When seeing how highly rated this place was, I figured the reviews were from some yuppies who've only enjoyed banh mi for the first time. To my amazement, you guys are Asian or are from a place where there is a large Asian community. So am I wrong in thinking this place sucks? HELL NO! To the review! Vietnamese/French bakeries throughout the world (or the ones I've been to) have to put out a decent or excellent banh mi to give credence to their biz. Concept, FAIL. I can honestly say this is the WORST banh mi I have ever eaten. Like many banh mi places, they make their sandwich with the left over rolls from the previous day, as I can taste the staleness. Their weak attempt of a half toast, did not hide this fact. Filling was an insult. I felt smacked in the face with every bite. A few strands of meat, barely any pickles or greenery. Had the ice coffee. It was ok. The two Viet ladies working there were nice enough. I put my sexy on for them; meaning I ordered in Viet. Might go back to try some pastries though.

This tiny shop is nearly invisible as you pass by on NE 82nd. It is tucked away in the parking lot shared by Pho Oregon, the Red Room, and some other faceless businesses, in the lee of the building. The sandwiches are small, cheap, and hearty. You can get the classic Vietnamese or meatball for $2.50. Served on a tasty house-made roll with sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors abounding. Sandwiches range up to $3.50 for some of the specialties, exotics I've hardly tapped into yet. In addition to the sandwiches is a rich but grubbin bao with foreign meatball and hard-boiled egg nestled in a steamed bun. Hangover delight! And of course Lanvin is a bakery. Breads, desserts (really nice banana bread...different, but good), and the recently dubbed "apology swan" for a buddy who picked one up for his far-better half with his tail between his legs. I picked up a grip of the sandwiches for a New Years party, sliced them into bites, threw in some toothpicks, and had some kickass hors devours.

Been going here since I was a child Before there was a Pho Oregon. Everytime I skipped school for a period I would run across the street from Madison High School to go get a sandwhich. Back then there sandwhich were only $1.50 yes that is way back 1995 prices. If Binh minh is not open I would swing over here to get a sandwhich.
