Nam Ou Guesthouse and Restaurant - The only place in town

The only tourist-style restaurant in town
The only restaurant really catering to tourist tastes at all hours is the restaurant on the balcony of the Nam Ou Guesthouse. The setting is terrific, with a view up and down the river, of the mountains on the other side, and the activity on the port below. Only the rubbish that has been dumped on the riverbanks mars the view.

The menu is quite extensive: fried rice and noodles, stir-fries and traditional dishes. Unfortunately, what can actually be served depends on available ingredients, but they do a good job with what they have. The food tastes fine, although the tom yum vegetable soup was disappointing.
