Mouang Neua Restaurant - good baguette sandwiches

A fairly atmosphere-less place, they prepare good baguette sandwiches for a take away lunch and a range of hot-cooked meals including standard backpacker dishes and traditionally prepared Lao fare that's surprisingly delicious.

Riverside Restaurant - Munch away under the mango trees

The Riverside restaurant is located just where it promises to be, on a big concrete slab looking out over the river. The section under the tin roof is very brightly lit by fluorescent lights, but just next to it there is an open air area with dim lighting and cover from mango trees (watch for falling ants). The setting is nice and the food is good, although a little sweet. They serve traditional Lao dishes as well as the usual fried rice and noodle favourites. Of note is their Sindad, a Lao favourite combining Korean Kimchee and a Chinese Steamboat in a soup/grilled meat do it yourself barbecue at the table.
