Hyped Artist Duo Revamp Banh Banh Brixton

"The pair, who also worked on Peckham spot Lai Rai, have created a space full of juxtaposition; after entering past a pink-tiled illuminated Vietnamese shrine, the main room features curved glass block walls, concrete, wood tones, painted frescoes, wool tapestries and ceramic hòn non bộ sculptures made by artist and Head of Operations AP Nguyen. AP has also designed the new food offering, which centres around cơm nhà ('home rice') and family-style dining."

"Conceived as a single, immersive artwork, the restaurant blends together materials like wood, paint, metal, plaster, and food within a space that guests physically engage with. This exploration extends into the paintings as well, materials such as metal leaf, sand, iron oxide, and powdered shells are combined with motifs related to food culture. The entire restaurant functions as a canvas and has been a really exciting project to bring to"

Bánh Bánh in Brixton has been reimagined with a new menu and a design by House of Baby (Joseph Losper and Tomio Shota). Guests enter past a pink-tiled illuminated Vietnamese shrine into a main room of curved glass block walls, concrete, wood tones, painted frescoes, wool tapestries and ceramic hòn non bộ sculptures by AP Nguyen. The food offering centres on cơm nhà ('home rice') and family-style dining, with platters including steamed rice cakes, tapioca dumplings, grilled turmeric monkfish, lemongrass pork sausage, and beef in betel leaf. Additional dishes include spring rolls, caramelised catfish, sweet and sour clam broth, and braised pork belly; cocktails feature Southeast Asian fruit flavours, and beer and wine are supplied by Vining Street Wine Club.
