A
Green Papaya
This oasis just south of the landmark Hackney Empire music hall serves Vietnamese food of very high quality and tends to put a ‘modern’ spin on many of the dishes. Try the banh tom (lightly fried strips of sweet potato and king prawns), the banana-flower salad and ‘Mama’s Pork’, slow-cooked with mushrooms and vegetables. The staff are enthusiastic and helpful.

Namo
This very bohemian place takes the Vietnamese dishes so characteristic of nearby Dalston and pulls them into the 21st century; expect things like chilli jam with your slow-cooked pork and a new take on bun hue, Vietnam’s signature beef noodle soup. Seating is cramped, but the array of plants and flowers brings nearby Victoria Park even closer.

Bam-Bou
This listed Georgian house attracts the media darlings from all over Fitzrovia with its winning colonial French-Vietnamese cuisine. It can feel a little cliquish and some of the staff are less than welcoming but the mostly modern Vietnamese fare (sesame prawns, pan-fried duck) is a regular winner.

Song Que
If you arrive after 7.30pm, expect to queue: this humble eatery has already had its cover blown as one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in London. There's never much time to admire the institutional-green walls, fake lobsters and bizarre horse portrait, as you'll be shunted out shortly after your last bite. Song Que is 300m along Kingsland Rd, the continuation of Shoreditch High St.

Cay Tre
This authentic place serves up classic Vietnamese beef noodle soup, banh xeo (a kind of pancake with prawns, chicken and vegetables) and wonderful pan-fried basa fish with lemongrass and shallots.
