Xieng Khouang Restaurants

Where and What to Eat in Xieng Khouang

Eating options are not particularly varied in Xieng Khouang; the vast majority of restaurants serve traditional Asian fare. The usual French influences can be found in the coffee, baguettes and pastries but the chic fusion menus of Luang Prabang and European cuisine found so readily in Vientiane are less likely to be savored here. All the same, food in hotels such as the Malay is more than adequate and probably the best in town.

Some restaurants feature a few European dishes, but we advise you to stick to what the chef knows and really get stuck in to some traditional Laotian cooking.

What to Eat in Laos

Lao cuisine is very similar to its Thai and Vietnamese neighbor’s, and meals of spicy soup, sticky rice and chicken or laab are favourites with locals. Vientiane is serviced by several good French restaurants, a remnant of the country's colonial era and baguettes and croissants are also widely available. Major cities in Laos offer restaurants to suit almost any palette but the selection soon dwindles as you embark on roads less traveled. This chance to experience the original taste of Laos food is a not-to-be-missed experience.
