A mix of Lao and tropical western food such as mango sticky rice pancakes and fried bananas with dipping mocha. Delicious and fun. A beautiful setting and a chance to nosy down little Vientiene alleyways. Close enough to walk to after a visit to COPE.

I took the Chinese sweet n sour stir fry beef. Too watery, too little beef n veg (which was pre-prepared not fresh) and mostly rice

    The banhmi was OK. The meatballs were good. I didn’t like the eggs with steak because there was no flavor. The best thing about this place was the bread. Crispy and fresh.

    I love PVO and come here regularly for lunch — it’s a popular fixture in Vientiane and locally famous for a reason. Lots of great Vietnamese options and fruit shakes available. The Banh Mi (Kao Gee) are popular, very filling, and really affordable. On my last visit I had grilled pork and rice noodles served with a plate of fresh lettuce, basil, and other greens. The first bite (and each one after) was amazing — just really delicious, I can’t get enough of this dish. I also like PVO’s wide selection of fruit shakes. I typically finish up with coffee across the street, but always stop to buy some of their ready made items — spring rolls, or even better, some of the grilled pastry/desserts. Fish shaped breads filled with taro or grilled shredded coconut — desserts familiar to people who’ve also traveled through Thailand.

    The service is quick and efficient — this is a busy restaurant, but honestly it’s one of the things I love the most. Lots of locals, expats, and tourists in the know eating together — the restaurant has energy. If you’re looking for a quiet meal, it’s best to eat off hours, but if you’re seeking a good, busy vibe, this place is tops.

    Good food I come to this place at least twice a month. Sometimes it’s hard to find parking spots especially during lunchtime.

    A wonderful find near the center of Vientiane. Run by a Vietnamese family, everything is authentic, everything is fresh. Whether you have time to sit and enjoy, or are grabbing a Ban-Mi (bread is baked in front of you) on the road. It’s a top, top, meals.
