We had been advised to eat at L'Elephant by friends who had been there the previous year.I had onion soup and Coq au Vin.daryl had 1/2 dozen snails and the local fish.With 2 glasses of the house wine our bill came to $46 USD.Very expensive by Lao standards and all over the food was uneventful and ordinary
This restaurant in Muang Khua is hidden from the main road. As i arrived late at night in Muang Khua, i had some difficulty locating it, but after some kind help from the locals, finally managed to locate this nice family-owned place. The fried yellow noodle is one of the best i've had in Laos, really tasty, or maybe i was hungry, haha.
Very open and garden-like setting, the cafe is a tranquil place to sit and have a coffee, breakfast or lunch. The pastries, bread and coffee are very French and everything is French. Try the Pan de Chocolat
Order fried or steamed fish with sticky rice, or any of the amazing dishes served here. You would generally order 3 plates for 2 persons, but the food here is so tasty and cheap that I ordered and ate 3 plates for myself. Have large Lao beers with your meal.The kitchen here is a mixture of Lao and Issan (Thai). Not to be missed! Chicken larb, a spicy mixture of marinated chicken with steamed vegetables, rice and Nam Prik, a hot sauce.
Lao cuisine is, with the exception of Vientiane and Luang Prabang, nothing to write home about. High quality Lao food, which can only be had in those two places, resembles Northern Thai food and is therefore excellent. In the country, however, there is not a lot of choice. Usually you just get simple rice- and noodle dishes which are dirt cheap and fill your stomach but that's about it.
The food and service was great. We went here more then once actually more then twice. At night they have dancing and music. Basically we just ordered a bunch of dishes and all dug in. Try not to fill up to much on the sticky rice. The papaya salad is good.
You can find this dish almost anywhere. It is delicious. It is just a basic noodle soup with meat balls (I never ate the meat balls though). It seems weird to eat hot food when it is so hot outside but ti is good. You have to eat it pretty fast though because the noodles will expand and it take so much longer to eat and so much harder as you become so full. It is made with so much garlic mmmmmmm yum yum. And is usually about $1 or $1.50 per bowl. Don't miss out on this.
This is a little piece of home. They have Western, Japanese, Lao, and Thai food. There is a buffet you get when you stay there that has quite a selection (but the bacon doens't taste the same). It is very good, you can either get the buffet or there is a menu. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich the first time (then I explored the cultural food a little more). Also if you go around dinner time they have traditional Lao dancing and music very entertaining. The milkshakes were good, so was the breakfast buffet.
It's a lounge in the Lao Plaza Lobby it is open 19:00-23:00 except sundays. Hey it's something to do Milkshakes, ask for it (can lye lye), they make milkshakes like chocolate milk so you ask for it very thick. Also young coconut blended drinks and Beer Lao
Cake and Ice-cream yup that's right, my brother and I actually cleaned them out of chocolate and vanilla ice-cream, hey we needed our sweet fix, Laos is not big on sweets and my family is. The cake is good to
