Nonette

/ noʊˈnɛt /

noun

  1. Music – Nine musicians playing together in unison. Here at Nonette, we don’t make music — we create harmonies between cultures and flavours.

  2. Food – Nonettes, little French cakes filled with jam that remind us of donuts, our house speciality alongside bành mí, Vietnam’s most versatile street food – a sandwich of a thousand possibilities.

Here at Nonette, we harmonise the 3 hallmarks of an elevated Banh Mi – decadent fat, succulent meats, and fresh herbs and crunchy house made pickles.

AOP Butter

AOP French Butter

Housemade Charcuteries including the Vietnamese mortadelle, jambon and xia xiu.

House made Pickles, fresh Cucumbers, Fresh Herbs with veggies sourced locally.

We also orchestrate the marriage of unapologetically Asian flavours with our French-style donuts, alongside twists to classic French flavours signature to Nonette !

Our Donuts Reflect Our International Palette

Freshly Made Every Day

Our Specialty Pork Floss Donut – Inspired by the OG Pork Floss Bun from Singapore

And of course, if you’ve already eaten at our OG joint with plenty of Singapore and other Southeast Asian flavours, The Hood Paris, right across the street at 80 rue Jean Pierre Timbaud, you know that music is never very far away!

Bánh mì? Who is she?

Born in Vietnam, the Bánh Mì is just as iconic in Paris. Popular for many years, it is the ultimate grab and go street food with white baguette, marinated meats, crunchy carrots and cucumbers, and fresh coriander.

At Nonette, Chef Khanh-LyHuynh transcends the basics of Bánh Mì with her mastery as a seasoned chef and responsible sourcing. With the exception of AOP bread and butter, everything else is 100% homemade. Thit nguoi ham, chicken liver pâté, dried chicken, dried pork, shredded marinated chicken, carrot pickles or even vegan tofu mayonnaise – she will stop at nothing to offer the most authentic Bánh Mì possible. So authentic that each of them has a lucky number – a nod to Hanoi’s Bánh Mì.

Proudly Female-Owned

Our Logo

We collaborated with Alexis Taieb (Tyrsa), a regular at The Hood.

In Spring 2021, we discussed how Nonette should look - inspired by Vietnam’s food stands, rooting our aesthetic in nostalgia while giving it touches of French modernity.

The colour scheme for Tyrsa and Nonette reflects the colours of the Banh Mi:

“ the peach references the ham, carrots and bread complemented by green cucumber and fresh herbs”
