Sern Sap Restaurant

Sern Sap

A lakeside restaurant in Oudomsouk, the first stop on the Thakhek Loop, rated the best place to eat on the Loop by several guides.

Located in Oudomsouk town by the Nakai Reservoir, down a lane behind the football field along Route 1E. It is about 50 km from Thakhek and is the standard first-day stop on the Loop, and you can visit the Ghost Boat nearby. The Australian owner offers riders advice on the route ahead. Signature dishes include Lao BBQ hotpot (sin dat), sukiyaki, Wagyu burger and local lake fish, as well as fish congee, fish soup, potato waffles, garlic mushroom bread and many Lao and Thai dishes. Portions are generous and prices are fair; stir-fried chicken with rice costs about 30,000 kip. Cash only, and service can be slow during the dinner rush.
