Dyen Sabai
A riverside restaurant on the opposite bank of the Nam Khan River, famous for its table-side, self-grilled and self-boiled Lao BBQ hotpot, sindad.
Located in Ban Phan Louang on the opposite bank of the Nam Khan River, this restaurant's signature is the Lao BBQ hotpot, sindad, where you grill meat on a dome while boiling vegetables in the surrounding broth. Fish and vegetarian options are also available, and one portion is usually enough for two people. Other frequently mentioned items include deep-fried mushrooms, eggplant dip with sticky rice, and tomato dip. The way to cross the river changes with the season: a bamboo bridge is used in the dry season, and a ferry is used in the rainy season, or you can detour via the red bridge; it is best to ask the restaurant before setting off. It scores about 4.4–4.5 on Tripadvisor, though some reviews consider the prices to be on the higher side.
