A vocational training restaurant supported by Friends-International and run by Peuan Mit, helping local youth learn culinary skills. The restaurant is named after khaiphaen, a Luang Prabang specialty of crispy Mekong River weed. It serves classic Lao dishes alongside creative international cuisine; portions are on the smaller side, making many dishes suitable for sharing, and vegetarian options are available. Diners often mention the green curry, banana fritters, and fruit shakes. The current address is 59 Xatikhoumman Road, directly opposite Wat Choum Khong; some older sources list outdated addresses. Closed on Sundays, and the kitchen closes relatively early, so arriving early for dinner is recommended.
Opening hours
Mon–Sat 11:00–21:00, closed on Sundays
