Around 9:30 this evening we were walking home after having had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant along the river, but we wanted to have coffee or dessert before heading back to our guest house. Most of the cafes we passed on the way were closed. We came across Le Vendome which was on the same block as our guest... More

We went here for the 22000 kip lunch of the day and ended up coming back two more times. The food was simple yet absolutely delicious. We had beef the first two times and then pizza the third time. All excellent. The house red was good too. We found service very good on all occasions and left a tip each... More

I went there because it was so crowded I thought it "must" be a good restaurant. WRONG! The food didn't taste too good, starting from the bread which was tasteless. Service is slow and poor- when you finally get your food you may have to wait or your silverware.

I went there 3 times, and was disapointed every time. The food is very basic and does not come at the same time. While half of the table was finished eating the other half was still waiting for its orders. I would not recommand it for the cuisine exepted maybe for pizzas, but there are other places much better for... More

This restaurant is in a lovely run down corner cottage. I had perfectly cooked duck and steaks and terrines (3 Visits here) the house cocktails were always a pleant surprise. Not sure why they have pizza and pasta or why anyone would buy them when their specialties are soo good.

22000 kips for the dish of the day at noon... That's great value. Also the menu d'amis is a good deal. I also went here for dinner and I always liked the food. Very friendly service.

The food here is excellent, but not authentic French, more a Laotian intepretation of what French cuisine is! It is truly delicious and great value for money (especially for lunch). However, the ambience is of a dark dingy cheap wine bar, and that really takes away from the experience. Everything looks old and dated. Go here (and yes, worth a... More

The restaurant is in a quiet back street, away from the tourist restaurants at the Mekong. They offer typical french food, with a good selection of grilled meat and fish, gratins and pâtés. The portions are large and well cooked. We sat on the outdoor patio which is cooled by fans. A lot of the people around us spoke French... More

Fond this when wandering through the streets and it looked lovely so thought we would try. The food was good, we had duck and soufflé both of which were well cooked. However, the service was awful... We waited around 30 mins for food which isn't so bad but once we had finished we sat with dirty plates for around 40... More
