Kitchen by the Mekong
The romantic restaurant of the boutique hotel that occupies the former royal residence serves exquisite cuisine in a serene, romantic setting. The Lao tasting menu, a good option, includes tamarind soup, orlam(spicy chicken stew), and sai oua, a homemade pork sausage, served with river weed and chili paste. Or else take on the signature pork-knuckle stew cooked in Lao beer.
