The best restaurants Laos

The only restaurant in the village is close to the bus stop, right next to the temple. Food is simple but good. Count 10 000 Kip for a meal. The hotel was very nice.

Modest establishment located next to the Khem Khong and the Com Chao Pho. The terrace is lit in the evening and there is a world at the table. An alternative option.

Set under a large aluminium roof, this sheltered restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a small price. Held by a lovely family, it serves ten simple dishes (spicy salad, fried fried vegetables, chicken, sticky…) but really tasty in a setting (the constantly lit TV shows music clips in the loop). Healthy food based on fresh products; all sprinkled with a Lao beer.

A shaded and flowery terrace houses this small restaurant located south of the city centre. It serves soups, curry, rice and noodles. 

Shaï and his brother Kham prepare a very good local cuisine and will welcome you with a smile. The room is some, but we appreciate the authenticity of the place and hospitality. Good choice for breakfast.

A friendly place hosted by an English-speaking Thai woman. It will prepare a good typical nouilles soup or any other Lao-Thai dish. His cuisine is sure to seduce visitors! A charming address at low prices. Basic but well-kept rooms are also available if needed.

Before the police demanded a name change, the place was called Mama's Rasta Cafe... A very simple resto-bar with good music. French fries, spring rolls or bananas flambéed in Lao Lao are all dishes that make it a very good address. The decoration of the place is quite original compared to its competitors. Young, baba cool and casual atmosphere. There are few tables and the place fills up quickly! The bungalows, basic but nevertheless comfortable, are located on the river.

Installed in a former colonial villa since 1994, the place is superb. On the menu is typical Lao cuisine but adapted to western palates. The menus are a good way to taste several specialties. The à la carte dishes are more copious. Interesting wine list. Professional and friendly staff. The clientele is often made up of tourist groups. Every evening there is a traditional dance show. The prices are certainly a little higher than elsewhere, but it's a good night out.

Central location for this small restaurant frequented by the visitors and tourists. A few tables are installed in the shade in a garden surrounded by grillage. Kitchen fairly ordinary, but correct. Western breakfasts. Quiet and friendly.

A cafeteria on the main road serving Laotian, Thai and Italian cuisine, where you can enjoy delicious coffee, pastries and cakes, and good fruit juices. The overall package is quite satisfactory and the rates are affordable. Welcome and very friendly atmosphere. The coffee comes from the owners' plantations. Possibility to visit them, ask for information on the spot. Sale of organic coffee. Wide selection of breakfasts.

Unfortunately, they have no menu and do not speak English. But fortunately we can be surprised…

All around the market there are many itinerant merchants as well as a few stalls.

Don't rely on the aspect of the establishment, shake them up.

The restaurant of this guesthouse has a pleasant terrace on the Mekong River, and it attracts de facto many groups of tourists. Laotian cuisine is rather successful with some dishes to taste, such as Laotian style cucumber salad, steamed fish with lemon and honey, or fish cooked in a banana leaf. Beef steaks are also on the menu. The friendly manager speaks French. Please note that the establishment accepts payment cards.

Chinese restaurant opened in 1957 offering a very furnished map. Traditional framework. Welcome.

This small restaurant, run by a Frenchman and his Lao wife, is really the good surprise of Muang Khua! The menu is quite good. In the morning, copious breakfasts are proposed. For lunch and dinner, several traditional dishes are proposed, as well as the famous Lao barbecue. You can also come and have a drink, beer, wine, cocktails, the choice is vast! Excellent coffee. Not to spoil anything, good music in the background. Friendly atmosphere and relaxed atmosphere. Not to be missed during your stay in the city.

With a large terrace opening onto the street, it is the ideal place to enjoy a hearty breakfast and coffee. The setting is modern and impeccable, which stands out a little bit from the other establishments in town . The pastries are invigorating, but not exceptional, and moreover they are out of price. Good yoghurt shakes (homemade). Sandwiches with baguette and Viennese bread are hearty. Strangely enough, alcohol is served, with a wide choice. However, you will have to disregard the service, which is as unpleasant as possible.

Italian restaurant located in the heart of the old quarter of Vientiane. In a superb renovated French colonial house dating from the 1930s and surrounded by a garden planted with trees, Pino, the Italian chef, will welcome you and serve you delicious, authentic Italian cuisine made with high-quality ingredients, such as his homemade pasta. A fine list of Italian wines. All this with Italian music and opera as a background, of course. The service is excellent. This is the perfect restaurant to rediscover the flavors of Italian gastronomy.

Close to downtown, here's an exquisite address, created by a talented French team, offering culinary flavors from different horizons. In a very pleasant setting, you'll appreciate the balance between flavors that are bursting with inventiveness and spices, such as the "French-Thai" beef filet, the Hokkaido scallops or the Mexican assortment. The service is top-notch and pleasant. A vegetarian/vegan menu is also available. In Vientiane, Métisse is a highly recommended gastronomic stop.

Suzette is a nice address, frequented by both local and tourist customers. This café-restaurant welcomes you from breakfast on. The speciality here is the delicious home-made galettes and crêpes. The menu is well stocked, with other specialties such as salads, croque-monsieur and waffles. Note: vegetarian and vegan options, as well as gluten-free crepes. Ideal for a lunch or gourmet break. The establishment is a bit out of the way, but you can take advantage of it to discover this neighborhood, which is little known by tourists.
