Le Bleu

Le Bleu in North Shoal Creek is the grown up, sit-down version of Saigon Le Vendeur, a small trailer on East 7th, that also specializes in bánh mì and vermicelli bowls. The bánh mì at Le Bleu is pretty much the same one that you can get at Saigon Le Vendeur, but all that means is that you have another access point to one of the best sandwiches in town. The biggest difference at Le Bleu is that in addition to more classic fillings—like grilled pork, cold cuts, and tofu—here you also unlock access to a few less-conventional ones, like garlic butter prawns or marinated and cubed ribeye. That, and you’ll have access to a more expanded menu, including things like pho, dinner specials, and a cocktail menu.
