Lai's Place

Northern Laos


No other restaurant in northern Laos offers such a tourist-friendly introduction to the region's diverse ethnic cuisines than this simple eatery with sturdy wooden tables and a small terrace. There's a long list of jąaou dipping sauces for sticky rice alongside traditional Akha and Tai Dam dishes like aw lahm, a stew of banana flower, rattan shoot, eggplant and pumpkin.

Choose your level of spiciness.
