Phakhao Lao Restaurant
ຮ້ານອາຫານ ພາເຂົ້າລາວ
A garden restaurant tucked away in an alley near Wat Chan, highly praised for its duck laap and offering a wide selection of Lao dishes.
Located in a slightly hidden alley near Chao Anou Road in the Wat Chan area, this restaurant features garden seating. The signature dish is the duck laap, which multiple food guides have called one of the best in town; the fried fish with tamarind sauce, as well as various soups and curries, are also frequently recommended. Most reviews praise the fresh ingredients and extensive menu, though some have expressed dissatisfaction with the cooking and sticky rice. The lunch period is relatively quiet, so you can visit then to avoid the peak hours. Situated in the riverside tourist area, it is within walking distance, and diners have continued to visit and review it in 2025.
