In other words, if you have stepped foot to Vientiane "Don't miss out on trying these dishes!"

1. Bamboo shoot curry at the Lao Kitchen

Som Tam is papaya salad, it’s something simAnother good thing in Vientiane that you have to find a way to try it at Tam Bak Hung restaurant. This restaurant in Vientiane has 4 dishes that you should try; Fried Pork Ribs, Fried Naem and Fried Sausage . Som Tam Luang Prabang is different from Thai papaya salad in that the papaya slides into thin strips. Not a line like that of Thailand.

4. Vietnamese or French bread at PVO

PVO serves bread called 'Khao Jin', but in the form of long loaves of French bread or baguettes. Baguette by cutting it in half and adding side dishes such as cucumber, omelette, shredded pork, pork yong (Lao people call it shredded pork) and seasoned with ketchup, and although the culture of food from France. Reasonably, but the Lao people have modified the ingredients by choosing ingredients that are easy to find in the area instead.

5. Kualao Restaurant

Kualao Restaurant is Vientiane's most popular, internationally recognized, up-scale and authentic Lao food restaurant, where both local and visiting diners bask in an ambience that flawlessly reincarnates the romantic and sophisticated atmosphere of early colonial French Indochina.

The charm of all Lao food is not over yet. You should come and taste to immerse in the culture of the city and  the neighbors by your own senses.
