About Luke’s Bánh Mì
Luke's Bánh Mì is a Vietnamese bánh mì bakery on Bay St in Port Melbourne, built around freshly baked baguettes and family recipes. It's a takeaway operation, so there's no seating inside. Locals tend to grab a roll and head for the beach, which is only a few blocks away.
The bread is what people talk about first: crispy outside, soft inside, with a generous hand on the fillings. The crispy pork roll is mentioned locally, and the lemongrass beef and the traditional mixed ham roll get good words too. One local who knows Vietnamese food well said the rolls reminded them of home, which is a hard thing to get right. There's also a proper vegan menu with more than one option, and the vegan BBQ pork has won fans who weren't expecting to be impressed. Pâté and fresh salad round out the classics.
Beyond the rolls, they do rice bowls and sides, and they offer catering for events and occasions as well as delivery. Staff are friendly and quick, and Michael at the counter gets a particular shout-out. People describe the portions as filling and the prices as fair for what you get, which is why it makes an easy lunch option around Bay St.
One visitor found the service cold and the rolls lighter on fillings than expected, and another had an order mixed up, though the roll they ended up with was still tasty. It also pays to go early, as popular rolls can sell out by lunchtime.
Access is good, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, plus free street parking nearby. They take cards and mobile payments. Hours vary through the week and they close one day, so check before you head in.
