Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Vang Vieng

We had the schnitzel with fried potatoes, curry, and the Kaiserschmarrn. Alongside, we enjoyed a nicely chilled Namkhong beer and a pleasant chat with the friendly owner, Kaz, after he personally prepared the dishes out front. The schnitzel was quite good, especially considering the location – though not quite at a level that would stand out in Germany or Austria. Unfortunately the fried potatoes were rather bland in our opinion. The curry was tasty but didn’t leave much of an impression compared to others we have had in Southeast Asia. Our clear highlight was the Kaiserschmarrn with homemade jam – absolutely delicious! On the downside, the portions were quite small, especially considering the relatively high prices. -> Conclusion <- If you’re craving schnitzel or Kaiserschmarrn, this place is definitely a must visit! Even if you’re just someone who enjoys exploring different places to eat or appreciate a friendly conversation with the owner it’s still worth giving this one a chance – don’t judge it by appearances. However, if you’re really hungry, you might want to consider another option.

Schnitzel has a good taste and so is the curry. But the portion are to small and way to pricey (180k for schnitzel and 160k for curry). You find good and bigger schnitzel and curry options for less than half the price just around the corner. Owner is a nice guy and its all freshly made...

Very enjoyable experience. The Schnitzel is perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. The owner, Kaz, is a lovely and hospitable gentleman who cares about his craft. The restaurant itself has a nice vibe with some colorful lights and good music playing. I definitely recommend you stop in and get something to eat.

This place is so endearing. It's a one man show and the chef is a great amalgamation of Asian (Lao/Thai) and German influence. He will give you an exact time as to how long he will take to prepare your meal. We are here during low season and it took 15 minutes because he said he was going to make the rice fresh. Thing to get here is the schnitzel (came with delicious potatoes!) and the Thai curry which he recommends. Honestly that's what he's known for as well...and it's really good. There are cards, chess, board games, etc strewn about so you can entertain yourselves while you wait without listlessly staring at your phones. Hah! All in all, this was a great dinner. And the chef is great to talk to as well. We wished we'd had more time just to hang out with him after our meal. The prices are typical for the tourist area.

Wow! Kaz produces this incredible food all by himself in the open kitchen and it is amazing. I’ve had plenty of schnitzels and potato’s in my life but never did i expect that here in Laos would i have one of the best ones ever!!

Great place, we had the chicken and turkey Schnitzel with Erdinger beer. The owner was a thai-german with decades worth of experience in his job. The Schnitzle made me feel like I’m back home again, but the conversations we had, were even better and really interesting. If you ask him he will tell you many exciting story’s about how he ended up living in Laos or advices for your future travels. The food might be above some peoples ideal budget, but for me it was more than worth the taste and experience. We can highly recommend going there and try it out by yourself

Had an amazing lunch at Mr. Kaz’s restaurant! The schnitzel was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend who is german approved and said it was perfect! We also had Erdinger beer imported from Germany! The price is obviously higher than other local restaurants but you get what you pay for! The food is very authentic and great quality. We had the opportunity to talk to Mr. Kaz for 1 hour after our meal and got to hear his story and all about his life! We would recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic german meal or great conversation with a local!

A great place to come for a drink or some food! The burgers they serve are delicious. The atmosphere is always lovely and they have good music playing. The drinks are good (they have happy hour on cocktails from 6 - 10), the vibes are great, and they have a pool table and darts. The staff are very friendly and so is Gary the owner! A must-visit in Vang Vieng

Food was GREAT. Had the roast chicken, and also the chips with cheese and gravy and it did not disappoint! Best Irish bar food we’ve been to whilst traveling round SE Asia. Great home comfort foods with LOTS of beer options. Service was great as well, staff were all friendly and attentive!

You have to visit Gary’s bar at least once if you’re in Vang Vieng, whether it’s for the Guinness, the food, the pool table, the atmosphere or the incredibly friendly staff (including the man Gary himself!) I think I visited 4-5 times during my stay in vang Vieng. Great atmosphere, good drinks selection and decent music too. Played (terribly) lots of a pool and had many beers. The food menu here is top notch, a taste of home is just what we needed!! Not to mention it tasted incredible - bangers and mash with gravy, chicken steak with peppercorn sauce and cheesy chips with gravy. All were delicious. The only thing I’d mention is the curry sauce is more of a Thai green curry flavour more than the uk curry sauce you might be expecting - still tasted great though :)

Gary’s Irish bar is an incredible place. The food will take you on journey, the chips have the perfect homemade taste that every Brit is adjusted to, childhood memories came rushing back after one mouthful. The burger was outstanding, the beef was done perfectly, accompanied by the melted mozzarella and secret sauce ( I think it’s just mayo and ketchup shhh) made this burger everything I had been dreaming of after two weeks on street food. The sausage and mash alone is a contender for the number 1 dish on the menu, the peppery gravy the imported Irish pork sausages and the fluffy, tasty mash. The atmosphere of this place feels electric the music is great and there’s a free pool table and dart board, they have 3/4 pints of beer Lao on draught if you’ve had enough of bottles. The facilities here are kept well too nothing worse than being scared to use the lavatory after a skinful of beers.

Tasty food with huge portions, a free pool table, and Guinness on tap. We came here a few times and always had a good experience — no issues after eating here. Definitely recommend!

We had a fab veggie burger here, so delicious. The pub had a great atmosphere. Gary himself was so lovely!!

Would recommend overall Food could do with some work. Ordered fish and chips, expected home made chips and we got soggy freezer chips, curry sauce was very average and could definitely do with some mushy peas rather than the coleslaw. Nice place to go have a drink and play some pool, music maybe a bit loud downstairs, REALLY needs music upstairs

We absolutely love this restaurant. We stayed at the hotel and also had our little wedding ceremony there. Our “reception dinner” was beautiful and delicious. They even arranged a table for us and our guests by the pool which was stunning. I also loved buffet breakfasts and their cappuccino is my favorite. And needless to say that the staff is simply amazing and some of the nicest people we’ve ever met. We were treated like family and we cannot recommend this place enough 🤗 P.S. The G&Ts are a real steal and they are delicious 😋 so you’re gotta be careful with those - very easy to drink a few too many by the pool 😅

Had a really great lunch here ! Good food, good service, nice place Yes it’s more expensive than some cheap places here, but it’s nice to have proper food served with nice presentation too :) Thanks !

Food and service were good - we were the only ones there at lunch time and they helped us to the top floor seating even though it said closed. As for the food: chicken wings were decent, the meatball soup was so refreshing and tasty and the mango sticky blue rice was very yummm. There was a small confusion which we realised later that everyone checks USD so thoroughly they don't even accept notes with fold creases.

The food, ambience and service was absolutely fantastic and I would 100% recommend visiting during your stay in Vang Vieng. We ended up dining here four times during our trip and can say that both the Laotian and Western dishes were fantastic. The spaghetti carbonara was one of the best I’ve ever eaten and my partner loved all the Laos dishes. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff are incredibly thoughtful and accommodating. They even have a happy hour! I would say to book in advance as they limit the number of diners to ensure top quality ambiance for all. Thank you so much for having us!

We had high expectations of this place, especially when we had rather bad experiences in other restaurants where vegetarian food was offered. This was no difference. We ordered the Traditional Mixed Steamed Vegetables Seasoned with ginger, sesame seeds and chilies. We mentioned that we were happy that it would be seasoned with chilies as we like spicy food. When the food arrived it had no chilies on it and it was completely tasteless. no salt, no pepper, no soja sauce. The waiter mentioned that they didn't know how spicy so they decided instead to cook it without it. So my question is, why do you offer Seasoned veggies with chilies and ginger on the menu if you later decide that it's better not to serve it as described even though we specifically asked for it. We had the tiniest slice of ginger and no chilies. Had to ask for it instead and all I got was a bit of chili powder on top. Maybe next time ask the customer if they are ok with you changing the dish instead of assuming, even though we kindly asked to make it spicy as mentioned on YOUR menu. Please, stop offering things you won't deliver. Once again, no good food here neither and the prices are ridiculously high for low quality food. Not recommended for vegans. Thank you for the kind service though. But the cook needs to improve.

We stayed at the hotel and came here for dinner one evening and had some really yummy food in a great setting. Both the western and Lao food were tasty. I liked the pork chop quite a bit, and the larb was great too. The views over the river were great.

We were quite hungry after a full day motorbiking across beautiful Vang Vieng exploring caves, vistas, and their amazing landscapes. Restaurant du Crabe d’Or didn’t disappoint. The restaurant is located in a beautifully designed, and traditionally appointed space. The service was stellar - efficient and courteous. We opted for the set traditional meal which features traditional Lao dishes. Ingredients were fresh, the seasoning and sauces were very tasty. There is also a western menu to choose from. I highly recommend dining at Restaurant du Crabe d’Or while visiting Vang Vieng.

Needed to change it up from Lao options and burgers, so we decided pizza would be a good option. It's hard to go wrong with a actual brick and wood burning oven. The boys enjoyed the pepperoni. I opted for Hawaiian to appreciate local pineapple. Paired it with some cold wine to go with the theme. Very enjoyable. Just wish the service was a bit better. Nobody brought plates for the pizzas. Fortunately they're out in the open, so we were able to service ourselves. Overall, a good option for pizza.

I stayed in Vang Vieng for 1 week and I came here almost every night, it had the best food ever!! Defo best food in Lao. They have so many options and different cuisines, my favourite was the beef larb, so delicious I think about it ALL THE TIME. The view is also stunning. And service is quick.

Lovely bar/restaurant to sit in and enjoy the river and the amazing mountain views. Good range of local and international options. The spring rolls were great and the beer cold. As others have noted the service is very inattentive but this seems to be the way in Vang Vieng so just flag staff down or get things yourself. The balcony is a place to watch the sunset with a beer.

Great spot, excellent freshly ground coffee and good chicken Larb. Is it the most authentic, prob not but perfect for my tourist taste bud. Location is excellent (look, not super clean) but it’s good for the price point.

Good price for the views that you get. Simple place with plenty of vegetarian options with tofu. During the day is quiet, perfect for sitting, reading and enjoying the views.

August 2025 I've been to Vang Vieng a few times now. I've seen the tubing, the hostels, the backpackers trying to find themselves in a puddle of Beerlao. And amidst all that glorious chaos, there's Greens. I've been coming here for the last 3 years. Greens isn't fancy. There are no white tablecloths, no sommeliers with ponytails telling you about the terroir of their grapes. It's just a joint. A place where you can get a proper meal. And by proper meal, I'm talking Laotian food. The kind that makes you sweat, that makes your lips tingle, and that reminds you that you are, in fact, alive. The laab. This isn't some tourist-trap version, bland and apologetic. This is the real deal. It’s a fiery mosaic of minced meat, toasted rice powder, and a vibrant bouquet of herbs that explodes in your mouth. You get the crunch, the heat, the citrusy tang—it’s a perfect, beautiful mess. It’s the kind of dish that whispers, "Welcome to Laos." Probably best avoided by those who find black pepper "toooo spicy". And the papaya salad? Get Lao spicy. Phet phet. It's a gut-punch of flavour, sour and funky and fiery all at once. It's the kind of dish that makes you question your life choices while simultaneously making you grateful for them. It’s the culinary equivalent of getting punched in the face by a stranger who then hands you a cold Beerlao. For three years, ten times, maybe more, this place has delivered. Consistently. Reliably. So when I see those one-star reviews from some pale, self-proclaimed "foodie" complaining about getting food poisoning from their sad, beige eggs Benedict, I wonder: what the hell are you even doing in Vang Vieng? You came all this way to eat breakfast from a suburban American diner? Go home. Stick to chain restaurants, and leave the real food to the people who appreciate it. You don't deserve this.

I haven’t even finished my meal yet and I’m leaving this review. I got this chicken massaman which is so good I’m about to lose my damn mind. I also got a lemon ginger mint smoothie which is also so ridiculously delicious that if I chopped my arm off and donated it as payment that wouldn’t be enough

This is our favourite restaurant in Vang Vieng! We loved it so much we've eaten here three times, and each time ordered a different main and all we're absolutely delicious. we ordered the duck rolls each time, and they are a must order! Staff go above and beyond with service, constantly topping up your drinks, ensuring you have everything you need. Only needed to wait for a table on one night - it's worth the wait! Excellent food and excellent service! Thank you!

Food was great, we came here twice whilst in Vang Vieng. The spring rolls were always fresh and the duck wrap is delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive even though they speak very little English, they couldn’t do enough for you. Gets busier in the evenings but can’t imagine you have to wait long for a table.

Food was delicious, the duck spring rolls are so tasty so I’d highly recommend! Staff are super attentive. The wait for the food was a little longer than usual but it was busy so we didn’t mind at all and this can’t be helped with a full restaurant. We were so stuffed we couldn’t fit in mango sticky rice but we’ll definitely be back to try it! We arrived around 6:45pm and got a seat but as we left there was queues😊

Food was delicious, pretty affordable and the staff were so nice. All of the staff were extremely attentive (sometimes maybe even too attentive 🤣), they would make sure our drinks were topped right up at all times! Had a lovely meal here on our first night in Vang Vieng.

Food was okay. A bit pricey for Laos. I ordered green curry seafood and mango sticky rice. The rice served with gree curry is small and the dessert’s mango is not that sweet. Still recommending to try this place when you come to Vang Vieng.

Great food and high quality, with a range of dishes to satisfy most cravings. Definitely don't go past the duck rolls or mango sticky rice. A bit in the pricer end if you're a backpacker on a budget, so I'd avoid. If you're happy to pay up a bit more than usual, it's great. Its in a really great spot between hotels and hostels so it's always busy. Go early to avoid a queue!

We ate here several times during our stay in VV because the other places were either not overpriced, or just not tasty. Happy mango is delicious. We ordered different items every time and loved all of them… curries, salads, noodles, stir fry’s… all amazing. Highly recommended.

If you don’t eat here whilst you’re in Vang Vieng you’re crazy! The food, staff and service is fantastic! Everything on the menu is homemade and really shows! Delicious!! Highly recommend the Goat cheese honey pizza 👌 super, fantastique, génial.

Delicious pizzas with a variety of styles to choose from! You can even watch the process of making the pizza in the traditional way, which adds to the experience. Definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic food, must try if you're not on a backpacker budget in vang vieng. Highly recommended- goat cheese & honey pizza, peanut harissa and orange blossom- fig ice cream.

Amazing wood fire Pizza. All Staff and Service fantastic. We have tried all the pizza places in VV and this is the best. Great atmosphere and super clean environment. Will be back again.

Absolutely superb wood fired pizza, beautiful restaurant. We ordered three pizzas and the garlic bread followed by homemade ice cream🙏. Don't skip this one while in Vangvieng this might be one of very few genuinely high quality outlets here🍕🍕🍕🙏🙏 My only criticism was with the garlic bread it tasted great, but the portion was a bit smaller than expected 🙏🙏

Good pizza, great service, and the best ice cream I've ever tasted! They take great care in making quality food here. The thin crust pizza is perfectly cooked in a wood fire oven. The peanut hummus is a tasty and unique starter. Do not leave without trying the ice cream, it is the creamiest I've ever had.

Amazing experience! We loved it all. We ate a Pizza Luka, a bolognese lasagna (special menu), and a foundant au chocolat (which almost made me cry of how delicious it is). Everything was delicious, and for the dessert, they make their own sugar mixing three forms of sugar (plus a special ingredient). I highly recommend this place, but be aware that they run out of doughs; maybe around 9pm it is already too late! Be ready to pay european prices as well. A dinner for two with a beer costed us 600k kip, around 30 USD

Been here twice, chicken sandwich is a great choice. The portions are perfect size and good price to fill you up. Sitting down there are only 4 fans. ATM opposite No food poisoning as of yet. 36 hours in still no food poisoning. Would recommend

It appears this lovely place has got a hate campaign. Thet make an excellent strong flat white better than Naked Espresso. Charming open sitting area with chill music and a counter full of tasty stuff.

Iced coffees & frappes are humungous! Tasted incredible too. Very friendly staff and very affordable prices. The sandwiches here are delicious. The bakery selection is amazing. Highly recommend!!!

I had an omelet for lunch and it was huge and good. Actually all menu items are huge. Try the banana-crepe with chocolate saus, it’s gigantic. Not the cheapest place around but definitely worth the price.

Big portions and prices are still good from a western perspective. How can you complain? Easily one of the best simple breakfasts I've had in Lao.

Huge serving sizes for food and drinks. Coffee was good, as was the Danish Chocolate Croissant. Building is clean and has adequate decor. Air circulation was lacking, it was a bit stuffy. Right on the road with no views, but they've done what they can can with their location. Edit: Came back again and got a triple shot mocha, beef bacon burger, and chocolate cake. The burger and chocolate cake were both a bit undercooked, but still, tasted good. Of course, as expected, the serving sizes were enormous! Triple shot mocha was very very good.

The best cinnamon roll I have ever had, wonderful service & super clean too !!!

The resto is cosy and offers authentic Laos food. We enjoyed our meal so much with Laab, a soup, a fried rice and a fried noodles, perfect for 3 adults. You might have to wait a bit, roughly 40 mins because they will serve each table one by one

Food was amazing. Servers were great. We came here for dinner 2 days in a row as we liked it so much. Very reasonably priced too. We had chicken spring rolls to share and they were incredible. For my main I had pad kaphao with pork both nights so I would recommend. They have Western options too but we didn't try. This place should be rated a lot higher in my opinion. I highly recommend. Especially spring rolls.

Lovely restaurant in Vang Vieng. We ordered the pork ribs to share and both ordered the Lad Nah Sen Yai with beef and it was really tasty! Would recommend.

Had dinner here two nights in a row and sampled eight different dishes! All were fantastic! Highly recommend the sweet and sour tofu, the Pad Lao, the Pad Kaphao and Pad Mee Leuang. Highly recommend the place! And it has great service and reasonable prices! Easy 5 out of 5.

This is the best value for the money in town. Good food, nice interior, friendly staff that speaks english and fair prices. We dine in here twice, tried different dishes and all were tasty. One single negative point is that during our second visit, the portion of fried rice we got served was quite small, compared to the other 3 meals we had.

We came here for dinner after 8PM and we didn't have to wait for a table (apparently it's low season now). We were going to sit outside but the table was full of ants so we decided to move inside. They have many vegetarian options so I had stir fried egg noodles and my partner had a noodle soup. My dish was really tasty and I loved it, while the soup wasn't amazing, good, but nothing to die for. Overall we had a good experience.

Nice spot for lunch! Enjoyed their Phad Lao and fresh Spring rolls! We also had a Papaya salad, which lacked papaya, or we might have ordered the wrong dish lol. Also had two pineapple juice. Service is fast and you can pay cash and Locapay. They also have WiFi.

The bar is spacious and there are places both for smokers and non-smokers. The staff speak English well enough to communicate. The food menu is not rich but reasonable for a drink bar and the prices are not higher than average. Good selection of beers and drinks. The biggest problem for me was that it's too loud, but perhaps I am just too old for such a place. After 19.30. the bar is pretty packed already.

The have fraught beer available but at the least bar and no one wants to tell you about that. Otherwise the place have vibe and is busy from 2200 to midnight only. Worth visiting once

The best bar in town, frequented by Europeans. Great beer, good DJ. It's a shame that the bar has to close at midnight, even though it's full of people. The music stops at midnight, but you can finish your beer in peace. A great place to meet people from Europe.

Sakura Bar Vang Vieng is a must-visit! This place captures the essence of friendship that transcends nationality. The vibe is absolutely fantastic, making it the perfect spot to relax and meet new friends from around the world.With great music and an energetic atmosphere, you’re guaranteed a super fun time. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Vang Vieng!

A small but lively restaurant bar located in the center of the town. Many people come here at night — they serve food, beer, and have pool tables and darts. Right across the street is the biggest and most popular bar in town.

Weirdest thing happened which has never happen before in my 2 years of full time travel through middle East and Africa and now In SE Asia. As a travel journalist I love to go to local places to see how local people spend there time and I was at Sakura while I was there a group of thai women offered me to join them for a drink and poured me one or two which is very commom behavior around the world where people want yuh to join them. I was chilling with this group and one of them particularly was who was offering me super sweet woman and after me spending time with the group comes the waiter asking me to leave the table and just be by myself. I didn't understand why tho and he asked the drunkest girl who was dancing on the table if she knew me and she said probably no cz I dont speak the language. Ofcorse the drunk gal dancing on the table knows nothing. He didn't ask the gal who invited me cz I didn't understand what the hell was that waiter trying to achieve. Anyway after he ask me to move to another table I really felt unwelcomed and I left. What a shame

Came in 10 minutes before it was closing so only managed to get one drink and a couple of songs. Nice atmosphere in there though and was pretty busy when we went

Fair price for what you get. The staff were warm but not speaking English well.

Simple & clean room. Worth the money. Well located in the center of Vang Vieng.

Despite good food reviews the restaurant was really mediocre...

Money

(Translated by Google) Walk-in stay without reservation, 70,000 yen per night (as of May 2019). The location is on the main street, behind a Chinese restaurant. When I tried to enter because I didn't know where the entrance was, an older sister (?) smiled and said, "Hey Japan." I think they responded kindly. There were other Japanese travelers there, probably because it was introduced on Japanese blogs. There are two "Happy" shops to the right of the guesthouse. Enjoy at your own risk. (Original) 予約なし飛び込みで宿泊、一泊70000キープ（19年5月現在）。場所はメイン通り、中華料理屋の奥にある。入口が分からず入ろうとしたら、お姉さん(？)が笑顔で「Hey Japan」と話しかけてくれた。親切に対応してくれたと思う。 日本のブログ等で紹介されているためか、他の日本人旅行者の姿もあった。 ゲストハウスの右隣には「Happy」なお店が２軒。楽しむのは自己責任で。

I ate here with my family and although the menu wasn’t large, there was something for everyone and the food was nice. The staff were generally pleasant and friendly. I personally felt like I was being watched as I was eating, but would put this down to the restaurant being quiet. My only bugbear was when it came to paying. The bill was under 850k, and I counted out 900k in 100k notes. I say this with certainty as I am teaching my son about money and we counted it 3 times together. I sent my 7 year old to the counter with the money, and shortly after the waitress returned with 8 100k notes and a 10k note. I decided against arguing as it had been an enjoyable evening. However, I felt it relevant to mention incase this occurrence isn’t an isolated incident.

This restaurant food and service is outstanding, we had to come back twice! We had the duck, falafel plate, sauté chicken and chicken fried eggrolls. Everything had incredible flavor. Everyone who worked there was so kind and we even spoke to the owner for a bit. She cooked in France for 20 years and it shows. Her food was made with love and the ambience and service is 10/10. Highly recommend!

One of the best restaurants I had in Asia so far !! INCREDIBLE!!!! Everything is cooked to perfection. Every meal we had was just exquisite !!! The service is impeccable! The chef came to us asked us if everything was okay and told us about the story of the restaurant. Best dishes ever ! Best presentation ! So clean and desserts are also delicious. A must try !

It is an amazing place to eat. Really good quality food and friendly, profesional staff. We tried gourmet starter for two and it could as well serve as a main course. Try crispy porc - it’s a masterpiece! The place combines local flavour with western taste, attention to details and cosy atmosphere. Prices are bit higher than in other restaurants in the town but it is definitely worth it! For less than 20 usd per person you will get starter, main course, dessert, lao beer and shot of local alcohol (when it is available). Truly great experience.

Pany is an amazing chef! She's the owner and cooks everything herself from scratch. She speaks very good English and French. The food is delicious. We were a group of 13 people and the service was fast and amazing. We tried different dishes and were all very impressed. Thank you for the best meal in Laos so far!

We had a lovely dinner here, would recommend. Prices might be higher than usually but it’s worth it. We had the Curry and the Falafel plate and both was really nice. Also the service was nice and they even gave us some recommended providers for activities. We would come back!

Honestly a bit disappointed. The food (Pad Thai and Sunset Curry) was just okay, a bit bland and rather pricey for what you get - around 200/300 per person. The views are nice but the biggest issue they have are the mosquitoes. Got bitten to shreds, it was so bad. Feel like it was such an issue that something has to be done. Either have the sprays available or have some sort of deterring objects in place. Maybe we just got unlucky but damn was it bad…

Great quiet and chill cafe to spend an hour relaxing on a hot day. I had a strawberry Italian soda that was very refreshing, along with a pesto, chicken and avocado sandwich - both items were great. The 1 point is removed on food however because the brownie was served to me cold, having come directly out of the fridge. It also was impossible to cut with the fork and was very solid fudge like, with almost no brownie texture or taste. Other desserts looked good though, perhaps try a cheesecake instead.

This coffee shop is truly lively and full of energy. Their menu, drink options, and decorations are all noteworthy. The atmosphere was very laid-back and soothing. The coffee here is delicious and reasonably priced.

The food was quite bland, and the portions were barely enough—unless you’ve already had breakfast beforehand. All in all, I found the prices pretty outrageous given the lack of flavor and small servings. Still giving two stars because the coffee was at least decent. Also, customers can help themselves to complimentary water from a carafe, and the juices seem to be freshly pressed. The atmosphere is modern and spacious, making it a good spot if you need to get some work done on your laptop for a couple of hours (and aren’t hungry ;) ) Just to add a note about the level of service: we stopped by on another day at 5:40 PM and wanted to order two coffees to go. Even though the opening hours said they were open until 6 PM, we were told the coffee machine had already been turned off, so it wasn’t possible anymore.

The food is excellent. However the place could have been cleaner. Like the floor was very dirty. Probably wasn’t cleaned after the previous guests left.

Loads of western food selection so if you are interested in cafe and cafe food, this would be a place for you. The coffee is nice but overall it is quite pricy. There is 7% tax and additional charge if payment is not made with cash.

Their coffee is not freshly made. I saw with my own eyes that she poured in the coffee liquid that had been left for a long time without grinding the coffee beans. The coffee is very bad and it is not worth the price. It's better to drink instant coffee.

Coffee was good. The presentation of the food looks really good, but it just tastes okay.

We had a fantastic hotpot experience at this location. They have a variety of options, including seafood, pork, and beef sets. The sauce is the finest part of it all. Also, the restaurant serves a variety of meals, not just hotpot. And they play good music too. QR code payment using Thai Bank is available.

I went there early and was the only one sitting the place seems like it gets really lively later at night. I order fried garlic beef and noodle soup. I thought the beef was going to be grilled but it was fried. Taste was good at first but the oil taste became overwhelming near the end. The soup was good, I order half a portion and it came with a generous portion of noodles, the broth was tasty. There are flies everywhere so be ready to be swatting them constantly. Overall probably the better soup I've had in Vang Vieng.

The BBQ was amazing! The food is fresh, delicious and service is good! You cook your own food at your own table and the mixed grill is a must! It comes with prawns, squid, chicken, beef, pork, fresh veggies, chili, garlic, lime, egg and a sauce all for 109000 kip! Perfect to share for 2 people. We will be back for sure! A big thanks you to Peeping Som's.

The food is good, the place is chill but they charge me 10.000 kip for ice to drink beer. I dont know why we have to pay for ice to drink beer. The small bowl of plain rice is 25.000 kip which is expensive comparing to other things in the menu.

Great BBQ experience. Our first time with Korean/Laos BBQ and the staff were great at showing us how it was done. Meat and vegetables were delicious with plenty of sauces and seasoning

Very very VERY good kimchi stir fry and beef BBQ hotpot.

Never had a korean bbq before, really excited to try. The staffs will help you to prepare and you can ask them how to do it. Price is cheap. Quality of the food is so so but for the price, it is a good deal. No stomachache after.

Come for the tacos and guac, stay for the 3 for 2 sangria Saturdays. The burrito was not what I expected, being as I live in Southern California. But the food is quality. Tacos were really good. Sangria was delicious with mango fruit in the glass. Friendly people running the place.

The food was fine although slightly overpriced for what you get. Take this with a pinch of salt though as we are backpacking and trying to keep costs down. Friendly vibe and atmosphere with good English speaking employees. Menu attached below as of April 2019.

Lovely Mexican restaurant. Delicious food, portions could be bigger, western prices. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Adequate and reasonably priced fare if you're looking for a break from Asian food. The food isn't outstanding but the portion was fine and the pork in my tacos was flavorful. And hey, it's Mexican food in Laos. Tuesdays they have a set of two tacos for only 25,000 kip. The place really lacks ambiance or warmth though. Not really a place to chill after a long day of trekking or kayaking. More like eat and run.

I’m Mexican and I’ve been living abroad for a long time, so I’m used to eat non-authentic Mexican food but, to be honest, I was disappointed in the tacos here. I ordered pork tacos: the tortilla was wet on the bottom (the area in contact with the filling), but too dry and crunchy everywhere else. Also, the meat was not hot enough, like they made the tacos and left them sitting somewhere for 10 min before they served them to me.

Really meh, not worth it in my opinion. The nachos were very bad. Just dry unflavoured mince on some really really salty broken nachos. Soooo dry and void of any flavour. Tacos were slightly better, but only just. Everything lacked anything that resembles mexican flavouring. No spice, no seasoning. For the price, i was expecting more. Also, the waitress was being quite rude to another staff member, it was kind of awkward to listen to as we were the only people in the restaurant so really easy to hear. The guy who served us was delightful however. Also the margaritas are frozen, not classic. So get watery in this SEA heat, just so you know.

Although maybe not “authentic” my boyfriend and I enjoyed the food here. He got the chimichangas and I got quesadillas - both were flavorful. A little expensive for the area, and portion sizes, but a good alternative to the local cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised based on the TA reviews.

Wonderful stay. Nouth, the hostess is so nice and easy to talk to. Her property is beautiful right next to many activities. Food is great and she goes out of her away to book things for you and drive to pick you up when you arrive. Will absolutely come stay here again.

We stopped here for lunch and had such a great time. The owner made everything fresh for us, using items from her garden. We also loved petting the kitties and dog. There are some beautiful mountain views to see as well.

In fact, I rarely write reviews, but this store is really worth it. When I came down the mountain, I accidentally found this restaurant. The price of this restaurant is very cheap, there are many traditional Lao dishes, and the coffee is also very good. There are many kittens and puppies in the store. They are very clingy and will crawl on me. Today happened to be the birthday of the shopkeeper's son. We celebrated his birthday together, and the boss and his son generously gave me a cake and invited me to drink and have a picnic together. The environment of this store is very good, like a family-style open kitchen, and the courtyard has a very living atmosphere. And I noticed that the boss would raise funds for the education of local children, but unfortunately I forgot to donate money. Finally, I wish the boss's son a happy birthday!

I did not stay in a bungalow but I stopped to have lunch and the fried chicken with red curry was really delicious. It came with a large scoop of jasmine rice and a very nice fresh salad which left me full. I wanted to get some photos of the hot air balloons landing at sunset and they generously allowed me to chill in a hammock in a gorgeous garden setting with a killer Mountain View. Would consider staying here next time as it’s much more peaceful than the raucous city nearby.

I was so lucky to have chosen this stay while in Vang Vieng. Nouth is so kind, attentive and overall an incredible host. The bed was so comfy and the surrounding nature and mountains make it the perfect place to wake up to and relax. Just a short scooter/tuktuk/walk from town but also on the way to some incredible spots. Well worth it.

One of my favourite place to stay on earth. I felt so home the moment I stayed in our suite, surrounded with nature and peaceful location. My fave was the breakfast rice soup (porridge) and coffee every morning. Host was super accommodating and very helpful with bookings multiple adventures :)

Stopped in here for drink after a long walk further west, stayed for lunch - the best red curry EVER.

The owners are lovely people and we’re so welcoming of a tired homesick traveller. Seriously the food here is 10/10 - the gravy was delicious and the roast was cooked to perfection. I especially enjoyed the pulled pork. The chocolate lava cake (another favourite of mine) was delicious. Reasonably priced as well I will definitely come back when next in Vang viếng. Bonus points for all the classic rock tracks really felt like I was at home.

I have been missing home (america) and needed some food that reminded me of it! this place was amazing! first off the service was so kind and welcoming! second off the food brought me to tears 😩 it was homemade and it was totally made with love 😊 i am obsessed 😆 me and my friends ordered and shared the veggie burger, veggie quesadilla, buddha bowl, and egg shakshuka!!! all were filled with flavor! Go here!

We ate here countless times and sampled most of the menu haha. Everything was amazing. We also rented bikes from here which was perfect and very affordable. Nice relaxed vibe, owners and staff were super nice and friendly. Great people.

I lived in New Zealand for 12 years so it was awesome supporting these guys! So happy i found it! This place made my time In Vang Vieng! I stayed longer because of these guys! Not only was it awesome food but I made friends to! Awesome owners!!! So friendly! Coffee is amazing and the overnight oats and roast dinner was my fav!!! Can't wait to come back! 💙

We ate here the other day and treated ourselves to a Sunday roast. Missing this staple of the English diet for a little while now it was great to finally have a taste of home. It’s actually named as a New Zealand Sunday roast but it’s very similar. Overall the food was very nice and the staff are kind and made us feel welcome.

We ate here multiple times on our trip to Vang Vieng and the food was absolutely incredible each time no matter what we ordered! The owners are lovely as well and overall it is 100% worth a visit!

What an amazing place for vegetarians. Yummy food available at rates cheaper than my country. Had their spring rolls which were crispy and had filling of noodles. Yellow thai curry with tofu was one of the best food I ever had in my life

This is one of the best chilling bars in town! They offer a solid selection of beers, cocktails, and even food to keep you satisfied. The atmosphere is laid-back with good vibes, and the colorful décor made from empty alcohol bottles gives it a fun, unique touch. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall great experience. Plus, there are pool tables and darts available if you’re in the mood for games. Highly recommended for a casual night out with friends!

Full Moon in Vangvieng caters very specifically to the young backpacker crowd, and those outside that demographic may find the experience disappointing. The atmosphere is generally dim and stuffy, with air quality that makes it an unpleasant place to linger. The decor reinforces the rough-and-ready vibe: the space felt dusty and lacked general cleanliness, particularly noted in the old, unwashed cushions. While the bar successfully attracts its target clientele of youngsters and budget travelers, visitors looking for a brighter, cleaner, or more mature setting will likely feel out of place—as I did. If you lean toward a less bohemian or "old-fashioned" style, this venue is probably not for you.

At first the interior and vibe was wonderful until the owner showed up and killed the entire evening and great mood. Had ordered a mojito which arrived with half the glass full of chopped mint, extremely bitter. The owner walked by the table and I politely asked if they could remix the drink. He became extremely defensive telling me no one else had ever complained. I stated again I was not complaining, just that it was not what I had expected. He walked away offering nothing, ignoring our request. When I went to pay my bill his attitude remained arrogant. The place was mostly empty while the bar next door was absolutely packed. I would never give him another dollar nor would I recommend anyone going into his establishment just to be treated rudely by a person who knows nothing about respect or customer service. If he wants to stop losing customers perhaps he should stay out of his own establishment. If you can’t accept honest concerns from your customers then you are in the wrong business. In response to the owners statement below, I tried to explain but he fails to listen and gets in your face in a defensive manner. All I was telling you is that your drink was not what it should be, not looking for a discount, just an opportunity to reorder. Look at other reviews and you’ll see similar concerns about how you approach people in an intimidating manner.

Love this pub! Has one of the most amazing panoramas I’ve ever seen from a bar. Family run bar with very kind n friendly staff. Very comfy and eclectic decor. Great music, great atmosphere, good food - lovely way to spend an evening. Big thanks!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very disappointed from the experience here. We came here two nights in a row and the last time was horrible. We were a group of 15 and almost every one ordered something to drink but the owner insisted that those who did not order anything should leave or order something now! We were planning to keep drinking here and to order food but the owner was so disgusting that we decided to finish our drinks and never return. Very disappointing experience, in my opinion you should try the bar next door since it is fuller and nicer

We loved the laid back and relaxing atmosphere here. It reminded us of Thailand. The owner is very welcoming and the staff very helpful. The menu is very vast and all the food was always good, perfectly seasoned, and made with love and fresh ingredients. Well done to the chef in the kitchen! It is open all day, and it has delicious vegeterian options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We tried quite a few dishes during our multiple visits and enjoyed all of them. You can enjoy the incredible mountain views during daylight from the back of the bar. Plenty of seating but often close to full in the evenings. Good music, mostly reggae and some oldies.

Full Moon Restaurant, you've won me over! 🍔👌 The juicy burger and delicious milkshake were absolute perfection. Can't wait to come back

Its lovely ♥️ I wanted to try pizza made by an Italian artisan. I ordered margarita and Hawaiian pizza and tub salad. The crust is incredibly soft and the inside is crispy from the same fire. It's made in the traditional Italian way, and you have to cut it with scissors. The pizza here is truly authentic~

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Il Tavolo in Vang Vieng is absolutely amazing! The best pizza and calzone I’ve had in a long time — perfectly cooked, authentic flavors, and generous portions. The owners are super friendly and welcoming. Totally worth it. Loved every bite! 🍕❤️

Absolutely delicious. We've been there several times now and definitely keep going. The pizza is so finger licking good. Last time tried the lasagna and although the serving isn't like in other places - it was good too. Can't wait to eat there again. Thanks.

The pizzas here are absolutely amazing — definitely the highlight of the menu! While the pasta and salads weren’t as impressive, the wine was remarkable and paired perfectly with the meal. When we visited, the place was incredibly busy, with a long queue. Despite this, the owner personally came over to take our order as soon as we were seated, which was a nice touch. The food arrived quickly after that, which was impressive given how packed it was. This restaurant is clearly very popular, and for good reason. If you’re a pizza lover, this spot is a must-visit! **** Don’t forget to ask for chilli oil!

Great food, we went for a pizza and a pasta and they did not disappoint! After travelling for a few months around SE Asia, this was one of the best Italian’s we’ve tried! The service was exceptional and the prices were reasonable for the quality ! 100% will be returning whilst we are in Vang Vieng

Amazing wood fire oven pizza - really fresh with authentic Italian ingredients. Pasta was also good! But the pizza was the highlight!

Visited in May 2025. Laos. Vang Vieng. Tucked away on one of Vang Vieng's most vibrant streets is this small, charming Italian restaurant. While the space itself is modest, it is tastefully decorated, the focal point being their wood-fired oven – a true showpiece. FOOD: This Italian eatery primarily specializes in pizza, calzones, and pasta. The sight of the professional wood-fired oven immediately swayed our decision, and we promptly placed our pizza order. We sampled the Pizza Carbonara, featuring a white sauce base and ham, a calzone with salami, and their signature focaccia sandwiches. And the verdict? Exquisite. The dough was impeccable, boasting a perfectly crisp, puffy crust and a thin, yielding center, loaded with generous toppings. Seriously, authentic Italian pizza in Vang Vieng – it's undoubtedly the best in this small town! SERVICE: The service was outstanding! The friendly and engaging waitstaff were always eager to chat, offer helpful suggestions, and assist with menu selections. The orders were prepared and delivered promptly. VERDICT: Having explored a considerable number of restaurants in Vang Vieng, we can confidently declare this the best pizza in town. For Vang Vieng, this place is top-tier. The pizza was so good that we were too busy enjoying it to even take pictures!

Had a lovely experience at this restaurant - so much choice on the menu! I had pad Thai tofu - the tofu was a bit weird but other than that it was yum (& 50k). My friend had chicken satay, she said it didn’t taste like peanuts but it was really good! We also had a fruit platter (asked for no watermelon or dragonfruit) and that was yum too and a big portion 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We got the pork soup noodle which was really good! Skip the pad thai which was flavourful but the noodles were so hard and undercooked. Lots of flies, lady taking our order was polite but the bottled water they served us was chargeable

Everything about this place is wonderful! It’s a charming, family-owned restaurant with a huge variety of delicious dishes. I’ve probably been here 30 times in just 20 days that’s how good it is! My personal favorites are the vegetable yellow curry and the rice noodle soup both absolutely amazing. They even welcome you with complimentary banana and watermelon before your meal, plus free tea and coffee, which is such a thoughtful touch. If you’re in the area, you must stop by you won’t regret it! 👌

All food is delicious(recommended local foods)but needs to wait a little bit. Beside ticket service shop is also same owner . Ticket services are also okay. We got discounts both for bus tickets & tour services. Price for food and tours services are lower than other shops.

The food here is really good! Best Pad Kapao I've had. The owner is also very nice. When I asked for the recipe of the pad kapao, she invited me into the kitchen to see how it's done.

Good place to eat! The red curry 🍛 was nice. The fried rice was okay. The bread of the hamburger was dry, but it was okay.

Had dinner here this evening and the food was good. Nothing special but we ate well. The green chicken curry was quite standard, a bit watery for my liking. The baked potato with beans was more of a bowl of boiled potato in tomato sauce. This was not great. The shakes are pretty good, I enjoyed the coconut shake. The staff are friendly and the restaurant was pretty busy.

We have eaten here 3 times Actually, the best coffee here!! I asked to make very hot cappuchino and I was listened😻😻😻 My top dishes: - salad with chicken , too many avocado and fresh chicken (the last photo) - Good omelette, but my boyfriend wasn’t full of it - Normal sandwich with bacon - And awful 😣 sandwich with French fries. The photo of food and the reality are so different. By the way it was dry and untasted. That’s bad. I honestly recommend this cafe ☕️ Enjoy

We visited a very cute café with an outdoor garden that primarily offers a Western menu. It was a great stop on our way to the hikes. I tried the sausage sandwich, which was recommended over the BLT, but I found it to be underwhelming, as it consisted of just bread and pieces of sausage. On the other hand, the mango juice and iced latte were excellent!

Hi! First time eating here. My friend recommended me this place because i wanted to have pancakes. So i got the Creamy chicken pasta and Apple cinnamon Pancake. The pasta was good but the Pancake. It did not disappoint, probably one of the best pancakes I've ever had. It's one the other side of the river about 10 minutes walk from the main street but it's a very quiet place and i loved it. Must go!!!

We ate here a few times when in Vang Vieng. The cafe is has really good A/C, which was a nice break from the heat. They have really good western choices, and the coffee was really good too 🙂 Staff were friendly and polite. There are board games available, free to use.

Dec 24 Lovely shop with nice outdoor area. We sat outside in the afternoon and the sun was behind us. The weather was perfect for outdoors. The only drawback was that the shop was next to a T-junction and was dusty due to traffic. The drinks and food were delicious. We enjoyed the cheese bread and cream cheese croissant very much.

Super tasty coffee and fruit muesli! Really delicious and I recommend you to visit this place! Very friendly staff! Definitely a must go place during your stay in Vang Vieng!

AMAZING breakfast!! Like a proper English breakfast at home, the sausages & beans were spot on & a good price for Western food. With real Heinz sauces

This is a great little local restaurant in Vang Vieng. The food is simple but tasty, and the Duck Sandwich was definitely my favorite—full of flavor and really well done. Other dishes I tried were also interesting and enjoyable. Prices are a bit high for such simple meals, but still affordable overall. Just a heads-up: there’s only one man doing all the cooking, so it can take a bit of time. Worth the wait, though, if you’re not in a rush

Very expensive for Lao standards. Portions are small. The grilled fish was tasteless. Tiny rice pirtion for 18k. The list goes on. There are much better places in VangVieng. I wouldn't come back.

This place is really good! Just opposite the river from the main town area. The place looks local and certainly served up authentic savoury dishes! Had the grilled fish, laab duck and mixed vegetables - everything is on point! A must try place!

Amazing food, just outside the main city over the bridge. We loved the chicken steak and duck laap (larb), both were delicious. Cute little restaurant, even with all the bikes going by its still a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Tastiest Lao food ever. After two weeks in Laos this was by far the most flavour packed restaurant, the pad krapou is a must, and the pad Thai second to none. Accompanied by sticky rice and the most incredible condiment plate (spicy as and we may have inadvertently sampled it as a side dish before the other dishes arrived - Woops). Do yourself a favour, first rate and reasonably priced.

When I arrived there was no one in the restaurant but it said open and the reviews were good so I just decided to go in. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed by the food. I don’t remember the last time I ate something that salty, it was awful even though the taste, beyond the salt seemed good. There were no cucumber unlike in the picture in the menu. And it was quite expensive too. I paid 68k for the chicken laab and 18k for the rice. So that’s 4€, not too much for sure but in Laos seems like a lot, especially when the food is not good and that no glass of water is included. The place looked cute but it was really hot and there was no fan. There was some TV on and the sound was not really enjoyable.

Had dinner here last week. Had some delicious chicken noodle soup and tasty crispy spring rolls. Very nice family restaurant.

Central is a Hotel and a Hostel, both are located on different floors, plus there‘s another hotel in the back of the same building. My room on 4th floor was very clean and large enough with comfortable beds, only the shower needs to be improved! Also there was no room service, which is OK if you stay two nights, but in a hotel all rooms should be made up daily. Breakfast was good, you had a choice of different menus. The pool in the back was OK, deep enough for a swim, but needs some proper sunbeds. Staff was always friendly and helpful. The central location makes it unavoidable that you hear traffic noise and the music places around: however the loud music stopped around 11pm and also traffic at night was very light, so sleeping was good between 11pm-6am. Good value for money for 2-3 nights.

Money was stolen from my room. It was a private room, and I went out with the key. I booked a trip with the hotel. Their driver picked me up. When I returned, half a million kip had been taken from inside my bag. When I informed the owners/managers, they stated someone would need a key to get into my room!!

If you want a non party hostel and a good nights rest, this is your place! A reasonable price and you can choose a bed or a bunk bed. The staff was helpful as well. I really like it and it's in a great location. The only thing was, they pick and choose which beds they wanted to change the sheets on after each guest which made me second guess if my bed sheets were changed or not. What was nice was they give me a new towel everyday and made my bed. Besides that I would recommend it.

No elevator, they are working on it should be done this year. No free breakfast. No amenities. 2 free bottles of water. Good view from 4th floor. Hotel catered to mostly Chinese. Good location to everything. $17/night. Could use some new towel.

The guy on the reception is extremely unfriendly. We waited several hours for the room and then got a triple room instead of a double. Asking for confirmation that we'll have to pay only for the double room he did not provide any, but said instead: take it or leave it. The same guy also wanted to borrow or computers for writing an application, even though he had one on the reception ... which according to him was broken. The rooms were good, but were not cleaned in 3 days, so you will run out of toilet paper.

Really clean rooms and a great place to socialise and meet new people. The atmosphere is happy and buzzing, with people watching films or getting high of the legal drugs there. The pizza baguettes are really tasty, and for the price the whole hostel is a real bargain

AWFUL NEVER EVER STAY HERE. We stayed for two nights and the guy on desk was incredibly rude to us for no reason from the beginning. They do not care about anyone who stays there, he was openly accusing us of lying (a group of 5 girls about everything imaginable- passports/aircon/room etc) and saying he didn't care about us. We saw the next day the prices for the room had gone down and he would not give us the new price as we were 'old customers' his attitude was totally unacceptable and ruined my whole trip to vang vieng. I would not stay here ever again and recommend you never do. Despite the man on reception saying he worked in hotels for over 7years he never smiled or even thanked us when we paid. Stay elsewhere!!

Those guys are the best. They prepare the biggest and tasty sandwiches and Rotee (Lotee) in the town. They are friendly warm people, extremely good heart. I love the first option, Chicken Bacon Avocado Cheese and Vegetable, can eat 2 people easily 😋🤤😋🤤 Rotee: Nutella, Banana 🍌, Coconut 🥥, Egg 🍳, it's an amazing caloric bomb. Juices and Shakes, Mango 🥭 Passion Fruit. Avocado 🥑 Lime 🍋‍🟩 Super Super Super Recommended 😃🤤😋

These friendly people have been making the most delicious sandwhiches and pancakes and whatnot for me over the last month. Their hospitality and generousity is way higher than I expected, they love what they do, and they're available from the morning until well in the night. Thank you for providing me, and the rest of Vang Vieng with delicious food and banana's! Khop chai lai lai 🙏

My friends and I ate here basically every day, sometimes even twice a day. The sandwiches are massive for the price point and the ingredients were always fresh. The sandwich ladies working here are so friendly and always eager to please. An essential Vang Vieng eatery.

The whole row of sandwich shops are under the Mama Sandwich, Burgers & Pancakes brand. We bought a sandwich, which was big enough for 2 adults, including bacon, Lap Lao, cheese, lots of vegetables, and it was delicious.

The best sandwiches in South East Asia! There are many stalls but we tried only the first from the left (next the fruit shakes- also super delicious!) and it was amazing! The sandwiches are huge and super full with delicious stuff (even for vegetarians!) - I think she is the original and the rest just copied here! What we saw she fills the sandwiches the most richly. Ate here every day (4x) and were always happy! Super prices 35-45k kip!

We ate here three time a day. €2 each time. Phenomenal.

The sandwiches are absolutely huge! And at an amazing price! I will definitely be coming back

Vang Vieng best local's lunch spot. Excellent Lao food at very fair prices. Noodle Soups, Rice Dishes, Pad Thai, and other Lao classics. Always busy but super quick service. English Menu. Big Delicious Shrimp

Best lunch spot in town, genuine Thai/Lao cuisine, not white-washed, full of flavors, decent prices. Also, fast and friendly service.

You won’t find this place in any blog or book. It’s even a struggle to find on google! But if your passing by and wander why it’s full with locals during the day then that says it all. The food is delicious and good value. Much more authentic than all the tourist traps down the road! There is no English menu either which is another good sign.

Delicious food, probably one of the tastiest meals I've had yet in Laos. Prices are excellent

Very Clean place and I would say, best of the best! 100% Guranteed. Good portion size.

Best local restaurant in Vang Vieng. Maybe this is the only restaurant I liked out of many places tried here.

(Translated by Google) The first food I ate when I came to Laos~ I ordered a lot of food and was very hungry, but I ate it well. I want to give it half a star more, but I can't. I like the local atmosphere and the friendly owner. There is also Vang Vieng Night Market right next to it, so you can go see it. (Original) 라오스 와서 처음 먹은 음식~ 여러가지 주문해서 배가 너무 고파서 먹었는데 잘 먹었어요. 별 반개 더 주고 싶은데 그게 안되네요. 현지 분위기 나고 사장님 친절해서 좋아요. 바로 옆에 방비엥 야시장도 있어서 구경 가면 되네요.

Fine bar with great food. Over here they know how to treat customers. There is a cool vibe here. Only downside is that the music can be very loud sometimes when you're eating.

Happy hour beers are 5000 kip. Pies are 42,000 kip. No AFL footy

Very good service, very cool place to chill and have fun

Good Asian food and western options. They also do take-away and delivery.

One of the best food in Vang vieng! Highly recommend! You must to try it! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Great bar cold beer 👍🏻😎🎈

Grumpy landlord & expensive beer.

(Translated by Google) The food suits my taste just right. I was tired of spicy food... but it's nice to be able to eat light food here~~^^ (Original) 음식이 입맛에 딱 맞습니다. 쨘거에 질렸는데.....여기는 담백하게 먹을수 있어서 좋습니다~~^^

(Translated by Google) A restaurant that no longer seems to exist... bought by the scooter store next door? (Original) Un restaurant qui ne semble plus existé... racheté par le magasin de scooters à côté ?

This place is a must-visit! The food is absolutely delicious - visited three times during a two-night stay. The service was great, too; they really try their best. They are a family owned business and the homely atmosphere makes the experience better. Highly recommend!

Came for dinner on the first day, loved it and came back the next day for round two. It's a small place with dishes made right in front of you by a cute couple. We had salad and a chicken dish. Their chilli oil is excellent!

It's really good dish... Very delicious and big portion as well. Very tasty, the fish so fresh, savory, sweet, sour and bit spicy. Hard to describe how good it is. I ordered the Lao's fish

5 people for dinner on a Thursday night and we had our pick of tables. We had the fried fish, chicken satay, chicken pad thai, fish larb, beef with garlic gimger onion, and stir fries morning glory. Everhthing was delicious and cooked wonderfully! Highly recommend the fried fish and fish larb. I would go back for these 2 dishes if I had more time! Fish is tender and fresh, and the fried one is also crunchy on the outside, making it extra yummy! There is only 1 cook so each dish came out separately as they weee cooked. But worth the wait. Staff were helpful and kind, too!

Goy Pla (fish salad) is hands down my favorite dish, and this place absolutely nails it. I’ve never been anywhere else where the chef takes the time to carefully remove all the tiny bones from the fish — it makes such a difference. The attention to detail and professionalism blew me away. I 100% recommend this place if you want a truly standout version of Goy Pla.

More expensive as compared to other restaurants around. Sadly fried garlic chicken was overcooked, garlic too bitter and chicken too tough. My bf really liked the minced beef, although it is not to my liking. To me the only saving grace was the refreshing lime drink lol

This is a small family restaurant run by a young couple with a son. The wife's the cook while the husband tends the dining room. Food was decent enough but I'm not quite used to the pork lab with mints. Lots of flies around though.

A nice and quiet setting. Big menu with lots of neat options. The mulberry wine was pleasantly tart, and the star fruit wine was sweet and smooth. We also had the goat cheese which was amazingly rich and flavourful without that 'goaty' taste that most have.

Very tasty goat cheese with salad and baguette as well as mulberry mojito! Very friendly owners and team. I’m happy I came to this place even though the weather wasn’t best. Nice view over the mountains and river, very calm. Can definitely recommend this place to you!

Food was ok, I can appreciate that they are running an organic farm in Laos. I think the milk for the coffee was not organic though (as they showed me the carton). However, we had to wait for the food for a long time. We were the only 2 people in the restaurant. We ordered 3 dishes, and the final one came out 1.5 hours after we ordered. We had kind of lost our appetite by then unfortunately. I think it has a lot of potential and it’s a gorgeous spot right on the river.

We chilled at the riverside while we sipped on our mulberry drinks! Had the entire place to ourselves. Absolutely loved the mulberry wine. Goat cheese was too strong for our amateur palette. Only 10 minutes away on taxi. They have the loveliest dogs here that would follow you everywhere. We also bought their mulberry tea for 30,000 per pack which was such great value

I had a fantastic experience at Organic Farm Restaurant & Guesthouse. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love using organic, local ingredients. Every dish I tried was full of authentic taste and beautifully presented. The homemade juices and teas were also a highlight! The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, with a lovely natural setting that makes you feel close to the land. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a quiet meal and unwind. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent. You can really feel the care they put into both the food and the guest experience. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates healthy, tasty food and a cozy, farm-style atmosphere. A true hidden gem!

We attended the cooking class at the Organic Farm and were thrilled. We could choose 3 main dishes and 1 dessert. First there was a welcome tea and a small tour of the farm including the mulberry plantation. The nice, sympathetic retired owner told the story of the farm and its development. Afterwards we could cook our dishes together with the daughter (who now runs the restaurant) and another helper. For us it was a great experience and everything seemed very authentic. The food and also the mulberry wine was very good. You just have to get into the "Lao flow" and enjoy.

Goat cheese is fantastic! Lovely breakfast in the nature

This restaurant is spacious. Hemibagrus fish (50k) was breaded and deep fried catfish. It was about to keep warm quite well on its own. I think the cook tried very hard to mask the earthy taste of the catfish, but it wasn't enough. Ketchup and chilli sauce were also served to make it taste better. The stir fried mustard greens with mushrooms (20k) was ok. The dish was slightly oily but with a decent amount of garlic. Some of the mushrooms were hard, suggesting that dried mushrooms were used, but not soaked long enough.

We tried the beef noodle soup, which looked really delicious. However the broth tasted a little bit weird. It seemed like that the soup wasn't really fresh. Afterwards we had some stomach issues.. A good thing though was that they served fresh herbs with the soup.

Really tasty!! The pho was delicious and I had a jellyfish salad which was also really good. It basically tasted like a papaya salad but with a really unique twist from the jellyfish. The springsrolls were the best I'd had in Laos so far

Clean classic Vietnamese pho taste, would of liked I bit more flavour in the soup. They served the vietnamese coffee a bit differently than the classic drip style in front of you. It's already to go sitting over a tealight candle. Strong but good coffee

Restaurant is clean and spacious. Foods are not bad and staff who serves us was not friendly.

Good food, pictureque settings; a bit o the higher end of prices compared to other places but worth the experience.

Very good food and an interesting menu, super clean bathroom.

Nice casual place by the river to enjoy the view and sunset! Food was nice and correct. Bear in mind that the stuff are taking their time when you order so if you are impatient may not be the place for you. The negative with this place are the toilets which i suggest you avoid, thus the 3 stars.

The avocado sandwich with everything was exceptional. Very big, lovely fresh baguette, one of the best I've eaten. All food made freshly Infront of you

It's a nice place to relax, enjoy the views or maybe catch up on some episodes of Friends. The Asian food is good whereas the western food is a big no. The servers seemed confused and disorganised. Yet it was a nice experience if you go without any expectations, just to sit down and enjoy with friends.

Ordered fried vegetable spring rolls which came first and tasted better than they looked and a marguerita pizza which wasn't bad. Friends on the TV and some comfy seats. Fast service.

Second one place with "Friends" series on screen. View and food nice like on the next wall restaurant, but design a bit better. Now in 3 cafe shows this series.

I went here to have a beer, before reading any google reviews. I was surprised to see how low the ratings are for this place. Still decided to have a simple dinner here. Visited it today for a second time for a lunch, the stunning view, nice seatings and food for value all make up for the almost jokingly bad service.

If you're looking for a chilled place with sofas to hang out calmly, then this is a great place! I went there only for drinks but the atmosphere is nice

We ate here with 6 people. We were the only people here. We ordered at 9.40 and 10.50 we got our last meal. It took them 50 minutes to get our first meals/drinks out. - The fruit shakes are water with a bit of fruit flavour. - Don’t order anything with bacon. It has no structure, tastes more like water (??) and has a rubber feeling in the mouth. Not convinced it’s bacon. - The ‘Israeli salad’ is just a salad with salad, tomato, cucumber and carrot. So don’t expect anything else than a normal mixed salad with a lot of water in it. - The eggs and sandwich with avocado were okay. Although the bread was not crispy and not fresh. More like from yesterday or 2 days ago. Other (Israeli) people arrived and got their shakes and meals before we had all our shakes and our last meal. At 10.50 we finally had our last meal: fruit salad with muesli and yoghurt. (Without yoghurt, we had to wait for that another ‘1 minute’). The place is covered with stickers, a lot have military men on it. It feels very political and weird. You pay a cheap price, so maybe that’s the quality you pay for.

A decent place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I’ve heard their French toast is really good! The shakshuka isn’t bad. The Israeli breakfast was fine, and it comes with a BIG salad. The coffee is pretty good and cheap (15,000 kip)! The vibes are interesting. Lots of drawings on the wall. Our food came within 10 minutes.

I had an schnitzel sandwich, the chicken is too thin but it’s good, it comes with onion, tomatoes, lettuce and cucumber

Went here after seeing the good reviews. First I was sceptic because of the look of the kitchen and waiting time. But my juice, as well as my schnitzel were amazing! The portion with the side salad was huge and I couldn’t even finish it. I can highly recommend and would go here again! 🫶🏼

Really good Pad Thai with vegetables and tofu yellow curry. The noodles were cooked nicely and well seasoned. The yellow curry had delicious pumpkin pieces and was very fresh. The atmosphere is super relaxed and laid back. They also have a schnitzel section on the menu which I think is a big hit. The food is made to order so it can take some time but is totally worth it! Come here to eat and relax. The fruit shakes were also tasty and refreshing and their iced coffee is good and very cheap (10,000 kips for coffee or shakes). Sadly they didn’t have any chili flakes to add to the Pad Thai so bring your own if you want some spicier food.

Pretty good backpackery spot for breakfast lunch or dinner. They also have tours to book (ex caves, paragliding, balloons) and busses to Thailand, Cambodia and other parts of Laos. We ordered one of the breakfast sets and the shakshuka … it was good, not great. Pretty cheap food. Bread was a bit stale. But the portions were beautiful. People really like the French toast. The omelette was nice. The coffee was cheap (15k). It does that job. The milk coffee was a bit too sweet for me.

Came here three times! Would recommend the pork or tofu Larb, I had both seperate times and were equally delicious. The pad Thai was yummy too. Service can be a little slow however the food seems cooked fresh and is always yum. Chill nice place

This type hotel don't deserve any rating. They are serving two to three days old chicken. I order chicken fry and they give me chicken tandoree which was smelling very bad. And they say me pay because I have already taken one bite. So I just pay bill and go out because staff are very rude and they give very bad service.

Really the worst dining experience I've had in south east Asia, the food was flavourless and crap...the service was even worse, staff were very rude. Don't eat here you will regret it

We had a good indian dining experience. ...service nothing special but. ....who cares. ... What we ate was good, traditionally cooked. ...we like it!!

Ordinary restaurant. Garlic nan, briyani & mutton curry. Reasonable price for food in Laos.

The sign of restaurant is not Nazim but google says so. The fried chicken is the best ever.

Good food and service

Bad food, bad service.

Great food & amazing value! I had a red curry with tofu, which had a great texture, and a delicious mango smoothie so cheap. The food arrived super fast, tasted great, and even came with free tea and fruit. Excellent value for money!!

My favourite restaurant in town, I ate here 3 days in a row. Their rice noodle soup is 🔥, also they sell sandwiches for a great price. Come check it out and show the gals some love. Complimentary banana + watermelon is a nice touch, really enjoyed that.

Amazing value for money place! First of all they have free tea or coffee and always bring a plate of fruit as well! The cheapest basic sandwiches i have seen in town, chicken sandwich for only 20k and the Pork basil is also really good and a very large portion

One of the best restaurant in area. Please visit the place and have one of the beat and cheapest sandwich in the whole town.

Very bland and oily food, fries were totally inedible, the sandwich had no sauce and was just bland, Thai food is fine though. So, I'd suggest getting that if you come here. Other than that, service is really nice, prices are fine and there's lots of choices, even though I'd rather have less options with a little bit more quality.

We ordered 6 dishes. The spring roll and the veg omelette taste fine. The fish Tom Yam has a whole fish in it, taste ok. The spaghetti tasted strange and the chicken cost 220,000kip is tasteless. Surprisely, this meal is our most expensive meal in Laos so far.

We’ve come back to this restaurant four times now. The menu is so extensive, with many variations and options on all the popular Lao and Thai dishes found across South East Asia. The staff, servers and cooks all going above and beyond like most establishments over here. They really are amazing. The prices are more than reasonable and very good, we haven’t had a bad meal yet. They also do take away for those who are interested. Highly recommended!

Ignore the 1 star reviews. All vegan restaurant that serves delicious food. The staff are really polite and attentive, and there is usually a nice dog around.

Veggies definitely became my go-to spot for food while in Vang Vieng with its varied menu and a focus on freshly cooked vegan Laos dishes like fried rice, curries, and noodles. The service was always super friendly and speedy and the atmosphere is nice for chilling or just hanging out.

100,000 Kip for the vegan burger. The most expensive vegan burger I have had in Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam. Thinnest Pattie of them all, was tasty but paired with a handful of French fries is a bit of joke. Staff are lovely, but no system whatsoever, so much food going to the wrong tables, 30 minute wait for my burger, 45 minute wait for my partners noodles. Noodles were fantastic by the way!

Had 4 dishes, 3 of which were soggy, and one was soup. The soup was passable but I could not eat the larb sandwich or larb noodles (it was just soggy mushrooms with no flavour or fresh herbs). fries were horrible too. Mango shake tasted like water mostly.

The best 100% vegan place in Vang Vieng! Staff are so lovely! Highly recommend the burger and sandwiches! We ate here everyday during our stay, everything is 100% vegan and so tasty! Great value for money 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Has to be the best mushroom sandwich in all of Laos. Highly recommend

Loved the vegetable salad I had here. It had some fruit and peanuts along with mixed greens and veggies with a delicious dressing at an affordable price.

Bad cleanliness as all the table are dusty. Staff don’t even clean the table while they just sitting there. Shrimps from Pad Thai and Tom Yum Gong are not fresh! Have been tried so many Thai food worldwide but this really ruined my taste

Prompt service but food below par: bland stir- fry chicken cashew and, despite a large pitta bread, the falafel was disappointing. I suspect was frozen stock and the limited other filling was mainly onions. Tried the wine..ok but slightly sour.(20000k a glass). The music was combo of lounge music and rap, and was drowned out by music from across the road bars.

STAY AWAY! I have to laugh at the ridiculous service at this place. In addition to being sour and quiet, the waiter spent most of the time on his phone. He was literally sitting on the sofa where other guests were eating, watching something on his phone. The other waiter, which I assume was his mom, barely glanced in our direction, before going back to candy crush while occupying one of the most comfortable tables in the establishment. Neither of them spoke to us, and neither seemed like they were in any way interested in providing a good service. We also observed the waiter wash the table after other guests left. After washing away food scraps from the table (missing the garbage can with the leftovers), he used the same cloth to brush over the sofas where the guests are sitting. When serving our food, he burped into our Israel plate. In addition the food was mushy and tasteless. The pita bread seemed heated from frozen condition, the tomatoes like they were cut yesterday and left in the fridge. We left after finishing only half. I can still only laugh at the horrendous experience at Milan Pizza in Vang Vieng.

lovely service and food for a great price :)

Great food and friendly staff. Good chicken curry !

Aida very good bartender, and the food was nice and cheap

Good shakes and drinks. As for the food, terribly variable quality, they should shorten the menu and preferably focus on local dishes as these tasted very good. The rest of the dishes were poor/average.

Fantastic place, Fantastic service but almost nothing for vegetarian or vegan. Probably you need wait a bit for a table in the water.. but the rest of the restaurant is also amazing.

Gorgeous, modern and clean! It’s very near the Soutchai bus station - good to hangout here while waiting for ur bus to Vientiane/LuangPrabang. Really nice and friendly people running the place. It was cool to see a ‘clean food’ menu option too. Had the Kai Pan and the chilli was delicious. Hope that more people will support this place!

This is actually really an oasis in this town. Come here and you will really feel refreshed. Dishes are perfect and the staff is just amazingly nice. Thank you. So much.

Vegetarian options available. Good service. Nice background music. Just a littleeeeee bit expensive but yeah, restaurants here have "touristy" pricepoint in general.

lovely place, probably serve the best hot food in Vanvieng (western and eastern foods) with affordable price, very enjoyable staffs, good music, a relaxing view in the evening. Love it!

Staff are great, super considerate, and the food is good :) our beers came in chilled glasses and with nuts. We got the veggies with cashews and it was amazing

Lovely place to stay for dinner or a drink with your buddies. Good music, nice cocktail. My place to go when im back here.

Excellent Falafel and very nice host. For Laos the prices are okay, could be a little bit cheaper. It tastes excellent however. We had the Falafel with bread and hummus and a fruit shake. Would definitely recommend this place!

Lamb kebab, 50k, very bad, go there because of the good reference, but regret so much! Portions are small, kebab isn't a kebab at all,the bread was wrong, n everything was wrong, just started the first bite the button part broken, so I'd have to eat it into really dirty way. Fries arent cook through, oily, weird n only have 6 in my plate, totally regret to go there.

I like this place because the staff were nice and the pita bread was delicious. Unfortunately, the hummus was lacking seasoning and flavour (garlic/tahini/olive oil/lemon juice), but I've come to expect that in this area of the world so far 🤷‍♀️ Falafels were okay, not the driest I've had, but definitely on the dry side. Mango smoothie and mulberry smoothie were nice 😊 it's cute that all the food is grown in their organic garden 😊🌻

Very disappointing meal. Ordered falafel with hummus & french fries with pita bread. Arrived with 3 powdery falafels, no hummus, and cucumber & tomato salad drowning in mayonnaise. Oh and 6 greasy french fries. I explained I'd ordered it with hummus & I don't eat mayonnaise. The lady took it away and it came back with a teaspoon of hummus and the remnants of the mayo which had been scraped off. Didn't eat it but still got charged. I wouldn't recommend it.

Why this place has no reviews is beyond me. This place is fantastic, we will be back for sure. Organic food from her garden, homemade bread (amazing!) vegan and vegetarian options galore and of course lots for meat eaters too. We had pita sandwiches falafel and chicken/beef kebab. Honestly some of the best we've had. Keep being awesome!

If you like Falafel, don't go here! The only good thing was the pita bread. Inside where only three pieces with some salade and hummus, with barely any taste :( The fries where just bad and all of this for 40.000 kip! Was really disappointed

Wonderfully delicious foods! Staff was nice and attentive. Prices were very reasonable. Plenty of options for meat and non meat eaters. Falafel was really tasty. They have homemade ice cream as well.

Didnt check reviews before going but very much regret it… it looked busy for the last few days as we passed by so decided to try and honestly worst food we have had and super gross. 1. Soups look and taste like vomit. Tomato & vegetable soup taste nothing lime it. Given greasy cutlery, by staff who ignored us, didnt speak to us and were super unprofessional. We got our own menus and everything lol. 2. Mains… sooo expensive and bad. I ordered spaghetti bolognaise but i swear the sauce was BBQ and now i feel kinda sick… 3. Given bread with everything, it was sooooo hard and stale its kinda crazy. Overall, expecting food poisoning but we’ll see…

Slow service, tasteless food - that's wraps it all. I ordered tofu fried rice without egg (mentioned explicitly to the guy taking order), but it came with egg. It's located at the main junction of the tourist area, may be that's the reason business is sustaining even after such bad reviews. Never again!

I myself write reviews for others and then I make the mistake of not looking at the reviews of others when choosing a restaurant. If I looked, I definitely wouldn't be here. The service was slow, I waited 30 minutes for a burger, it looked like from a pub, the fries were tasteless. First time my Laos girlfriend was disappointed with the food. Chilly peppers not crushed, only thrown into the food, she found a hair in the food.... Strongly not recommended. After leaving we went straight to another restaurant to fix our taste

The service was OK for the most part. I’ve come to accept the fact that none of the dishes ever come out like how they are pictured with the exception of larb (cause you really can’t eff up this dish in anyway being that the ingredients are quite simple. We got the fried pork spring rolls. The dipping sauce had barely any kind of flavor. It tasted like sweet water. The spring rolls were not fantastic either. Also ordered fish larb which the people I went with enjoyed. Ordered red curry with pork as well. It was OK. Tasted kind of bland for red curry. I ordered the chicken sandwich which came out with mayonnaise all over it so it was rather interesting to eat. It was flavorless. Looked nothing like the picture. Large variety of items on the menu that cater to western tourists. But I must warn you, those items most likely will not compare to what you’re used to simple as they may be. I also waited about 20 minutes for my sandwich. The chicken strips used were reheated and very dry. I didn’t understand the mayonnaise being all over the outside of the sandwich. Unfortunately I only took aftermath pictures of the dishes. Would not eat here again.

Unfortunately the food here is bad. Totally our own fault as we didn’t check the Google rating before hand, but considering each time we’ve walked by it’s been busy we thought that was a positive. Sadly no. The food was tasteless, bland and over salted. The Pad Thai we had had very large chunks of tofu in, but aside from this it was a red-ish colour and tasted very sweet, almost like jam, the peanuts on the side where chewy and this meal was left due to this. The staff seemed nice, they speak minimal english (but to be expected).. the best thing about this place was the Pepsi. Save your money and don’t bother.

No service, food order took way too long and half order missed. Food taste good. Hard to get any service or get attention of staff to actually cone to table to service. 1/10 rating. Avoid this place if you expect any sort of service at all.

Genuinely warning, please have food at another restaurant. please don't try food here. bad experience and not worst of money at all.

Went here for lunch and had a sandwich. Food was ok, nothing special. The view is really nice. Would go to different restaurants if I were you, way better options.

Great food good prices, comfy seating , clean kitchen and attentive friendly staff :) Oh annnnnd incredible views of mountains!

Fried rice was good, red curry was quite watered down and not much vegetables, thin slices of chicken. Avoid the 'baked' potato, actually cubes of boiled potatoes with sauce and cheese on top. Cheesy asian love songs playing. Drinks were good.

Serves local and Western food, enjoyed my schnitzel. Stay away from the rice whiskey. The view of the mountains and river are very nice. Great staff.

Great food, reasonable price but it was taken an half hour to serve every dishes so we couldnt enjoy. Laos is not a heaven of backpackers anymore.

Very slow service. They were for staff and three tables of people. They were disinterested in serving us. The rice is great. The noodle soup and chips average. The spaghetti was terrible.

Food is good and not expensive. Great location looking out over the hills/mountains. And staff are friendly and excellent.

We had ordered grilled fish, steamed rice, stir fried mornings glory, and mixed vegetables, lemonade. They served a bit slow but the fish dishes very fresh and tasty. Highly recommended you order the grilled fish with steamed rice. Perfect combination.

Good Selection of Laos food. Every dish is worth trying. The salted fermented fish is very fresh and delicious, and the papaya salad is also okay. The soup as tastes quite pleasant after eating.

We visited Oh La La Restaurant for lunch and had a delicious meal. The portions were large and full of flavour. Service was a little slow but the restaurant was busy as we were visiting during the lunchtime rush (lots of tours seem to stop here for lunch). The staff were not particularly friendly but the food was nice and prices were reasonable!

We were drawn to this restaurant by the enticing smell of freshly grilled fish. It was fairly busy around 1 PM, but the service was quick, and we finished our meal within 30 minutes. The grilled fish was delicious—much better than it looked. My noodle soup was decent and comparable to other shops we've tried.

Laotian-western restaurant in the center of Vang Vieng. Menu available in English, although staff who served me had problem with understanding English. I ordered red curry and cooked vegetables, which were very good. Prices are reasonable, maybe I'll be back if the service is improved.

Although clearly focused on the significant local tourist trade, this restaurant offered a great range of authentic food. The Laos style Sum Tam was particularly nice. The place is clean and well maintained, the staff are helpful and polite, and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend this place if you're passing.

Nice place - with a visit We had lunch here and I returned later for a beer and a snack. They have a bbq out the froubt as you come in, it’s nice to see what’s on offer. I had the grilled sausage and loved it. The fermented sausage is more challenging for some westerners but is definitely worth a try. The beers were cold and they give you ice if you need. Worth a look🌶️🍻

Best vegan pizza in South East Asia, period. We asked for the veggie pizza without cheese and were rewarded with all the best Italian flavors (sun dried tomatoes included!) on our pallets. We’re going back to tomorrow.

Went there to try some slices of pizzas and ended up ordering whole pizzas! Didn't expect great authentic fresh Italian pizzas in Vang Vieng. It's clean and quality products are used. Highly recommend! 👍🏼

Would thoroughly recommend this place! Pizza was great, freshly made and really quick. Best I’ve had after 4 months of travel. There are a few tables so you can either eat there or order takeaway. Pizza’s range in price from 45000 for a margherita to 75000 for a capricciosa which are freshly made in front of you. They also have individual slices and sandwiches/ paninis / focaccia / calzone Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Vang Vieng!

The best Pizza in whole Laos. I dont know why a photo of Viva pub is inside Google photos. But Viva Pub don't deserve 5 stars not even 4. But Roccos pizza deserve 5 stars for sure.

Eat it. All of it. It's amazing. The pizza gets a special mention, but everything served here is authentic, fast, inexpensive, and delicious. In Vang Vieng, this is a slice of Italy that serves slices of happiness.

Best pizza I’ve had in ages! If you are after pizza definitely come here. Pizzas made fresh to order in front of you and the kitchen is very clean, will be coming back!

Thin crust, good quality ingredients. You can get fresh pizza on order as well as slices to-go. Typical roadside eatery, go and try!

Parisien cafe not pizza king, i came in looking at d beautiful cafe setup, ordered an iced americano n a macaroon, coffee was perfect, macaroon was bit too sweet for my taste but guess thts how it goes in asia :) ot was quite empty as its at one end of d street where people dont walk arou d much, plys point being it was very quiet n peaceful n we had the whole place to ourselves. Didnt try any food so cant comment. Luvd their coffee :) n there is a friendly cat around too :)

Great hot cappuccino and free WiFi. People working there are great too. Good overall atmosphere. About 20000 kip a coffee

Pizzaaa.. bakery.. Juice 😎 Good location Free WiFi Clean place and nice toilet

So yummy and reasonable price. I visited here 3times in my vangvieng trip!!

Good tasty pizza and reasonably priced!

Don't bother with delivery!! It arrived stone cold and the staff wouldn't send us a new one unless we paid for it. They refused to do anything about it and asked us 'why don't we come to eat in the store instead'. Then told us that the reason why the pizza was cold 'because it was far away' (when we had ordered the previous evening and it was hot). Waste of 60,000 Kip. The staff have probably 2 brain cells between them- lost so much business from a hotel now and into the future. For the price of one medium pizza...

Just another coffee shop. Coffee is so so. If you say sweet, they will make it very sweet. The default is medium sweet. Wifi is good. Service ok. 20k kip for hot coffee.

Vietnamese owned restaurant and bar/cafe. The Bahn Mi was absolutely delicious. I ate it way to fast. I got the #6 from the staff's recommendation. Pate + BBQ Pork. After my meal he asked if I wanted the famous Vietnamese coffee. This was so delicious and a great dessert after the sandwich. The place is really well decorated and clean. I highly recommend trying it out.

I liked the atmosphere in the store and the music they played really appealed to me. But one thing I wasn't impressed with was the employees smoking inside the store. Which spoils the atmosphere a little. But I don't see The prohibition sign doesn't have much to do with it. The staff were very friendly, the coffee was delicious and the food I ordered was Spaghetti with Bacon Cream Sauce and Bake Cheese / 135k The taste was good, but I thought it was too sweet, probably because I normally don't eat desserts. But it might be sweet because of the cream, but it's delicious. Anyone who likes to eat desserts will probably like….

The best Vietnamese restaurant overseas that I have eaten. (Maybe even in Vietnam) - Authentic Vietnamese food ( 100% same ingredients and tase like in Vietnam) - Made by Vietnamese chef - Service in English. Staff are Vietnamese but can speak English very well. - Clean and very professional - Cheap price compared with food quality I am Vietnamese but live abroad. I have to decide to stay one more night in Vangvien to eat Bun Cha although I had eaten beef pho and Banh mi before 😅😅😅

How do I start? Me and my friends arrived to Vang Vieng for school excursions, the restaurant conveniently sits in the area of our hotel. We decided to visit this restaurant, and we all agreed that we've found a hidden gem. The atmosphere of the restaurant really gives a vibrant warm feelings, the interiors are well- detailed, gives a vibe of western restaurant. The service was really professional, with great English fluency, informative and friendly welcoming. We really enjoyed talking to the waiter by the name of Harry, he's really comforting and gives us the feelings of being back home. I must give him a praise for his professional service and friendliness. Finally, I've left the best topic for last and it's the restaurant's food. The food really lightens up everything like fireworks. The quality is enough to satisfy your hungers and the best of all is: The price is not that heavy for your wallet! Overall, the restaurant is doing an amazing performance, quite exceeds my expectations for a restaurant that's just opened its door. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to those who are stopping by Vang Vieng. Although this is just my prespective, I have to be upfront and honest to give this restaurant some recognition. Be sure to support the business while visiting Vang Vieng!

The first time, it took an hour for me Banh Mi to arrive, and one of the staff seemed to be havin' a bit of a heated debate with an angry customer. Not exactly the pleasant atmosphere ye'd hope for. But we decided to give it another chance, and the next day, the service was much quicker. The food was pretty decent too as goes for the coconut coffee which was exceptionally good! Still, it's worth mentionin' that they offer free shots to those who write good reviews. So, while the service improved, keep in mind that incentives may play a part in the positive reviews ye see.

Picture this: you stroll into 'The G.o.a.t' in Vang Vieng, ready for some Vietnamese adventure. The food? Tasty enough to make your taste buds do the cha-cha. Service? *Chef's kiss*—they treated us like royalty, or at least like the King of Pho. Speaking of which, the Bun cha made me feel like I was floating down the Mekong River while the spring rolls whisked me away to the bustling streets of Hanoi, wondering if I should order set of rolls and just drift away into foodie nirvana. 10/10 would goat again!

Very nice place, hospitable staff and delicious food. We've been here twice and enjoyed it to the fullest! You must try this!

I went there a bit by chance just trying to find a place where to have a quick and simple diner without much expectations. Well done, what a good surprise. My family and I enjoyed the atmosphere very much, especially my little boy, with caring friendly staff & owner who help it out. Good food quality products so prices are reasonably higher but when you love it who cares. Thanks Mathieu for the break in our Lao trip.

A fantastic restaurant! The service was super quick, friendly, and very attentive – you can really tell they care about what they do. I had the Vietnamese spring rolls with pork as a starter, which were already great. But the highlight was the 250g flank steak – perfectly cooked, amazing flavor, served with vegetables, croquettes, and a fresh salad. Absolutely delicious! The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home, and the playlist was on point – stylish music that fits perfectly with the vibe. Totally recommend!

This restaurant is absolutely outstanding. Good service, excellent quality of ingredients, with generous portions. Not to be missed if you are in Vang Vieng. Wine is excellent quality, with real wine glasses. I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough. 10 out of 10. The owner is on site, he is friendly and you can see definitely passionate about this business. We look forward to returning.

Lovely find, we were just walking passed and liked the look, vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant so we went in and we were not disappointed. If you are looking for somewhere without the party vibe and chill vibe instead, this is the place to be. The restaurant owner was very welcoming and made the effort to speak to his customers. The food was lovely, something different to your usual burger bun. Well worth a visit.

Great buzz here even during low season. The owner gave great advice on what to order as I was stuck! As I was too full to finish my meal they kindly arranged for me to be able to take away my food. The food itself (bruschetta board and some croquettes - I can’t remember which ones they were, maybe the owner can clarify?) were delicious and not to be missed. As a European it’s also always a treat to enjoy a decent glass of wine in SEA- it’s much rarer to come by. I wish this business all the best, they gave a wonderful welcome. Merci and kopchai x

We came here after reading the reviews, and they were absolutely right. From the very first bite, everything felt thoughtful and full of flavor. The truffle focaccia was out of this world—crispy, fragrant, and just the right amount of indulgent. The flank steak? Tender and rich. The French owner told us the taste was inspired by traditional French flavors, and honestly, it shows. It was so, so good. The staff were kind and attentive, and the owner brought a personal charm that made the experience even warmer. It felt more like being a guest than a customer. Good wine, good cheese, good steak—what more could you ask for?

The best Steak in Vang Vieng. Owned by French = Confirmed Delicious Wide wine collection and home made croquettes If there is A/C which will be 10/10 but sadly not

We were attracted by the sunset views over the river - the only attraction. Service for 2 drinks only, was frustratingly slow ( I eventually went to fetch our order). Only two waitresses can't cope. The ambience is ruined by the loud music from the place across river. Its got potential but disappointed during our visit. We went for dinner elsewhere.

Even though the view is stunning, the somewhat boring food and the terrible service make you feel so bad that you can't appreciate the view. The waiters have no smile, don't say any word even if you greet them with a smile and a "Sabaidee" and managed to bring the wrong food. There are many better options in VV.

Nice food, good mountain view, but a little bit sad coz the river is high tide.

It has great view but service is so slow that they couldn't prepare a tea for longer than 10 min so we had to leave without drinking it. I had fried egg & bread. It was good. My wife had noodle soup which wasn't very good. Also despite our insistent request, the soup came with onions :( 3 stars for the view basically.

My friend had the green curry tofu. Pretty sure some of the tofu was fish caked. I had the red curry pork which was alright. The mango sticky rice was really good. The view was destroyed by tourists in the speed boats. Alright place nothing out of the extraordinary

Nice place by the river to grab a good view. If visiting in the evening prepare for a stupid amount of bugs flying around you, on you and into you! They come from nowhere! Not badly priced. We only had a couple of beers here we didn't eat so can't comment

Pricier than other restaurants along this same street, likely because of it's prime location at the corner near the wooden footbridge. They all have great views of the mountain so take your pick based on menu prices, food quality, and service instead. Food is good, but not great. As with *all* restaurants in this area, stay away from the Western menu entirely. Great rice soup (jok). But it's hard to mess this up. Fried spring rolls were soggy and soaked with oil. Ick. Great Lao coffee. Strong, sweetish (natural cafestol oils), no astringency or sourness. Excellent. Good fried pork. A tad dry, but not bad. Service was the usual non-existent, apathetic Lao service. Which means I was pretty much ignored after my order. You just need to anticipate that and deal with it -- it's consistent everywhere I go.

We give this restaurant two stars instead of one, only because the total bill was $32. This is supposed to be a French restaurant in Laos. Keep in mind that Laos historically had a French influence so combine that with French food and you should have a home run. But this place is an utter failure. What kind of thinking goes into serving your customer stale French bread to start with to enjoy throughout all courses of your dinner. The Waitress, with her less than unhappy look on her face, didn’t speak English, French or Thai so communication was impossible. We started with their Charcuterie plate which was a decent assortment of sliced meats but the Pate was absolutely tasteless and to try and smear that dry pate onto the stale slices of bread was fruitless. They took one gherkin pickle and sliced it in four pieces giving you next to nothing. Our main courses were brought out shortly afterward and my wife ordered the Spätzle Steak De Porc A La Crème Champignon, sounds pretty fancy huh? It came out as leather pork slices with a decent cream sauce with some macaroni and what they call a side salad. My wife ate the macaroni with the cream sauce and left the rest. I ordered the “Saucisse Lentilles” which is a fancy name for Lentils Stew with sausage and pork belly with a sliced boiled potato and the same tiny side salad. The lentil stew was not eatable, the sausage was made from God knows what but it was horrible and the pork belly was really a pork tenderloin that was stewed soft but was basically tasteless. This meal was so disappointing that we were actually embarrassed for the French Owners of this crappy restaurant. Instead of telling them how horrible their food was we asked for it to go in a doggy bag and gave it to one of the stray dogs down the street. Pro Tip – Go anywhere in Vang Vieng but here if you want to eat real food.

Got food poisoning a few hours after having the Duck Burger and a fondant au chocolat. And it’s the only thing that I’ve eaten today so I’m sure it’s this food, also I’ve been living and traveling in Asia since 2years and never got food poisoning before so my stomach is not usually sensitive, there was definitely something wrong. The atmosphere was really weird, the food was quite good.

This could be the best restaurant in Vang Vieng. The tartiflette was exactly what I needed after a long hike, and several months in Asia. The crème brûlée was on point as well. Cosy atmosphere, friendly people. Other people know this as well so it might be full. Thank you!!

Best lasagna I've ever tasted in my life. I remember eating here a year ago and was so mind blown by it. I wish I could go back to eat here again

I have been genuinely disappointed by the food that was served here. The fries were soaked in oil to the point that they were basically mashed potatoes(and added to that, the oil didn’t taste fresh.) I had the beef bourgogne, it looked grey which I was confused by, normally it would look more clear and brown. This did look more like a real beef bourgogne on the menu, which had a lot of tasty pictures but nothing like what what served. I’ve seen them respond to the 1 star reviews, but with disappointment all they’re doing is starting arguments instead of actually addressing the issues. The distance from France to Laos isn’t the issue because I’ve had an amazing French experience in Thailand. Only excuses when being faced with genuine issues. Even in the restaurant itself it was being said that the food was fine without really taking in the criticism. All in all I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. You’re better off buying some chips in a market and saving your money. I’m already waiting for the excuse of a response for this review.

I have dined most evenings at Bon appetit during my stay in Vang Vieng. The traditionnal French food was fresh, tasty and very raisonnably priced as largely based on local products (home made paté..) mixed with necessary imports (cheese..). Many were there every night, not only for a good diner but also most importantly for a nice time together. Both expats and tourists. Thanks to Dom and Nini for creating this place!And warm greetings too all the "habitués" :)

Proper French comfort food. They have french classics, but also others such as lasagna or German pasta. They have Belgian beer as well. There's a darts board and you can play chess. Very friendly service. It's a popular place because of the quality, so it gets busy for dinner. Portions are big. Good price - value

Overpriced food. Stir fried noodles using a bag of instant noodles. Spring rolls were cold. Not worth it.

Got here because of the good rating and they definitely deserve it. The waiters were very attentive and the food was delicious. The menu is only one page long but the dishes are excellent

Yummy curry but sadly lacking shrimp which was supposed to be the main ingredient but the sauce was yummy with friendly staff. Worth visiting 👍

Value for what you pay is a bit poor. Chicken was a bit too sweet for us and very bony.

This place is not what you see here in the picture. Clearly, its not the same owner as before. I order a pad thai and receive a plate of very salty instant noodle, like the cheap one. I also got spring roll that were really not good. They were cold and thick and obviously not freshly made. One bite of it was enough. Avoid this place.

Came here twice because it was so good! First off, its clean and well decorated which was a nice change 😁 The pork leg stew is a must try, along with the fried rice! I would skip the spring rolls which were way too big, soggy and falling apart and overall lacking in flavor.

Tammada himself was present. Gave the staff vacation graceful. He recommended his Korean neighbor who had also outstanding dishes. Thank you

It's so obvious that 99% of the Reviews are fake. Avoid this place for food at any cost! The worst banh mi I ever had. Old and hard bread, full of mayonnaise, old eggs.. I still hurt my stomach, just disgusting. Staff was actually friendly, but do yourself a favor and do not eat at that place, unless you like to have diarrhea

Meh 😕 You can get better for half the price down the street

Really not good. Bread really bad, fruit shake bad. Nah

Many fake accounts to push this place obviously. Haven't been there myself.
