This is not authentic tasting Vietnamese food if that's what you're looking for. You aren't going to find the traditional Bahn Mi ingredients in their version of Bahn Mi here at LêLê. I mean you might find a couple traditional ingredients in their food but not enough to give it the true Vietnamese food distinction. It was just way too westernized for my liking. That being said, the Bahn Mi just didn't have the flavors I was looking for that all Bahn Mi typically have. Plus the bread was way too hard and is just sitting out getting cold. They don't toast it when making your Bahn Mi. The tofu was good though. It was cut thin and was firm and crispy. That and the great service was where the three stars came from. There's better options for Vietnamese food in the city. read more

Honestly a pretty good banh mi. Bread is toasted well and the meat is flavorful. Pricing is fair too. It's a convenient stop if you're going through Torvehallerne. read more

Torvehallerne in Copenhagen was the place we went for lunch. Banh Mi Daily by Lele was one of the stalls we stopped at to grab a bite to eat. We chose to share their Five Spice Pork Vietnamese Baguette sandwich. Overall, the sandwich was okay. Meat was flavorful, but not much of it in the sandwich. Maybe, I am too used to larger portions in the States. Banh Mi Daily is worth trying. They have other items available on their menu. Prices seem reasonable as well. read more

I was thrilled when LêLê opened a Banh Mi place in Torvehallerne. I've always thought LêLê was great, so I had high hopes for their Banh Mi. I've been here on two different occasions so far. On my first trip I ordered their Banh Mi with lemongrass beef which I thought was really tasty! The beef had a nice flavor, but I think I was just so excited about this sandwich due to the lemongrass. I love lemongrass so I'm always excited to see it on a menu. On my second trip I ordered their steamed buns with lemongrass beef & a hyldeblomst drink (Seriously, that lemongrass!) and the buns were just ok. I have never tried steamed buns before, so maybe I'm just not a fan of them. I didn't feel like they tasted like much. Everything inside the buns was great though. Nice flavor. read more

Granted, this is my first Banh Mi in CPH so I'm not sure how it compares to its competitors, but good God, this is insulting to true Banh Mi. Having been raised by parents who grew up in Vietnamese culture and pretty much lived off Banh Mi in the 626 haven of Asian food, this place at that price (~60kr) is a disgrace. Food: 2/5. Banh mi is best served warm, so their practice of pre-making and pre-wrapping is an efficient system that fail to deliver quality food. Turnaround from order to receipt is less than 2 minutes. While the bread was surprisingly still warm when I got it, despite looking like it sat out for at least half an hour, it gets quickly soggy. The portions aren't large, so it's definitely a one meal portion, but I tried rationing it for dinner too since I had a long day. The Banh Mi I've had has always been fine sitting out for hours at a time and is still great even after being refrigerated. However, LeLe's was awful after about 2 hours. Service: 2/5. There were only two guys running the stand when I went, but neither seemed interested in answering my questions or beyond taking our money. At some point, they couldn't take credit card payments either and didn't really explain why, so carry some cash in case. For 60kr, it is cheaper than other Torvehallerne options, but it's true you get what you pay for. read more

Came here with some local friends before an evening at Tivoli. They recommended it for great food at good prices, and I have to say I agree. Eating out is pretty expensive in Copenhagen, so to get a good meal for about $10 is noteworthy. There are small plates and larger plates so you can put together a meal that matches your appetite. My friends all got full bowls and really enjoyed them. I was still pretty full from my afternoon grazing so I just got a small plate of crab dumplings. They were fried so they were alright -- about what you can expect. Everything my friends got were more fresh options and they looked great, so maybe steer more in that direction. I noticed a location of LeLe's in Copenhagen Street Food too, in case you're in that area and want to try it. read more

This may not be 100% authentic banh mi (think way less fish sauce), but the five spice pork banh mi is extremely delicious. Come in the morning for particularly fresh bread and sandwiches made fresh to order. Very delicious bread, too! LêLê is one of the places I keep coming back to whenever I happen to be in Copenhagen. read more

If zombie apocalypse was coming and I had nowhere to go to secure myself a meal, this place could be an alternative. That said, I got no grudge against Bahn mi daily, but sandwich is really not my thing. As an Indonesian, food has to be warm and served on a plate, oil paper, banana leaf or whatever - and sandwich is something that you take on a road trip, in between eating stop. So you see, I wasn't quite groomed to love sandwich in the first place. But as I said we went here because Hija de Sanchez was hibernating for the winter and we needed a quick alternative before drowning our stomach sack in huge amount of alcohol, so bahn mi was the Asian that we were looking for. I ordered the so-called house specialty aka the Lemongrass Beef bahn mi. It was already packed and ready to go on a shelf. What can I say? It's fast food a la Vietnam. We took a seat on the side of the booth and started munching the sandwich. While the beef was tender (somehow reminds me of Philly Cheesteak, and why nobody is making one in Torvehallen?), it was flavoured too strong with what they perceived as lemongrass. Sorry people, I just don't get the hype with people putting ginger or soya sauce, or lemongrass and then call it "Asian" or with Asian influence at all. The flavouring was too strong for my taste and the overall experience was too salty. The reason I finished the whole baguette (which was OK price for the size of the "sandwich") was because I was hungry and that I was fully aware that I needed to eat before drinking. Maybe I'd give this place another chance and ordered the spicy fried eggs because you could never go wrong with spicy fried eggs, or could you?? read more

Coming from California, I am a big banh mi fan and I have high standards for them. That being said, this was actually all right.. for Copenhagen. After I ordered, I was putting my card back in my wallet and suddenly the girl behind the counter was handing over my Crispy Fish Cake banh mi (58 dkk). Say what? It was already assembled and sitting wrapped on the shelf. I have only ever eaten ones that were made to order so I was already turned off by this. But somehow, even though it had been sitting around, the crust of the bread was still crispy! Well done. It must have been put together recently, otherwise I have no other explanation. Inside were pickled carrots, a few slices of fresh chili, fresh coriander, dill, and fried fish cakes. The fish cakes were not really like ones that I have tried before, but still tasty. And fresh dill is not something I usually see in Vietnamese cuisine but maybe I haven't delved deep enough into it. Unfortunately this dill was not so fresh and even had a few browning bits on it. That was not very nice and I had to pick them off. What the dilly, yo? Keep an eye on that. I really wish they would have made my sandwich to order, and left out the old dill. Actually I wouldn't mind if they left all of it out; I won't miss it. More pickled carrots would have been nice, and maybe even some slices of cucumber, but let's start with the basics and move up from there. Like Eva K, I was hoping to try the Spicy Fried Egg sandwich. Hope they aren't sold out next time! read more

I came here since I heard that it was one of the few places where you can get banh-mi sandwiches in Copenhagen. I ate the five spiced pork banh-mi and overall, I really enjoyed it! Although the sandwich was not big, it was jammed pack with good flavor. There was a good amount of meat and veggies such as cilantro and pickled carrots. You do not get traditional ingredients like pâté, mayonnaise, and jalapeños. But, the sandwich was still flavorful and had a crispy exterior. Additionally, you can see the staff making your food in front of you. This makes for a great personal and upfront experience of the making of your meal. Plus, the smell of the fresh food makes the atmosphere even more delightful. The staff are respectful and provide food in a very presentable and careful fashion. With that said and the tasty banh-mi, I am definitely a fan of this establishment and will return in the future. read more

Simply put, they get the Banh Mi. They bake their own bread to make it right and give it that proper crispyness. The meat is seasoned properly, the cilantro is great, the price is good. It's spot on. read more

While maybe not the most authentic banh mi I have ever had, the ingredients were high-quality, very fresh, abundant and very tasty. So much that I went twice in 2 days! Had the five spice pork banh-mi...just great and the stemmed bun caramelized pork banh-mi's. The stemmed buns are a neat alternative, come in pairs and are overflowing with ingredients, fun to eat. The five spice pork was more interesting that the caramelized pork (not very caramelized at all) Great and recommended lunch spot in the Torvehallerne, a cool upscale covered market/streetfood hall with exterior seating at wooden tables. read more

Decent alternative to an italian-style sandwich, and not too expensive (58 kr.) considering the location inside Torvehallerne. I liked the sandwich although I prefer the taste and style of the sandwiches you can get at most italian pizzerias around town. Bánh mi makes for a great alternative when you wanna try something new and different. The Bánh mi is basically a small baguette cut open on one side with a bunch of stuff jammed into the cut opening - this is a basic baguette sandwich. The thing that makes the Bánh mi different is the different meats you can get in your sandwich and the vegetables they use. You get a lot of salad, the kind which has slightly bitter taste. I had the five spicy pork, and while it wasn't a revelation of flavor, the combination of the bitter salad and the dry pork meat was a nice change to my otherwise dull sandwich eating habits. The location inside Torvehallerne dictates that you sit at the small bar enclosing the kitchen/booth or take your sandwich outside to one of the tables. No surprise there. I'm planning on coming back, when I get the craving for another off-beat sandwich. read more

Delicious and cheap! The wonton soup is the perfect hangover/cold remedy, full of herbs. Service is super friendly & they have a student discount! read more

A little stall in Torvehallen. Bahn Mi, if you don't know, is Vietnamese sandwich. The bread is a frech baguette, and the filing is typically some kind of protien, pate, and veggies like carrots, beansprouts, and lemongrass. Its a staple in LA where I lived for a while. And I'm happy to know that this one here measures up. They make their sandwiches and keep them on the shelf, so waiting time in most cases is practically none. They also have some salads and rotating dishes but I haven't had a chance to taste those yet. There are a few tables to sit but its Torvehallerene - don't expect to find yourself a seat most times. :) They also have a few sauses and other condiments that you can buy to go - I highly recommend the chilli dip sauce, its a nice sweet hot explosion of flavor in your mouth. :) read more

Absolutely delicious!! Had the lemongrasss chicken baguette 2 times in 3 days. IIt's honestly the best sandwich I've had since ive lived in Copenhagen. This place is a legend in the making. read more

Loved this place! Came back here 3 times in 3 days. Loved the flavours... Especially lemongrass beef.
