Paté – French Technique Meets Vietnamese Soul

Inspired by Khanh’s experience at Copenhagen’s famed Hart Bakery, Paté blends French craftsmanship with Vietnamese creativity. The menu includes banh mi baguettes, shokupan shortbread, croissants, brioche buns, and congee rice porridge for breakfast. Khanh’s favorite, the shokupan milk bread, is described as “simple, yet perfect” and can be enjoyed plain, as a sandwich, or as French toast.
