Tamarind

On the banks of the Nam Khan, mint-green Tamarind has created its very own strain of 'Mod Lao' cuisine. The à la carte menu features delicious sampling platters with bamboo dip, stuffed lemongrass and meuang (DIY parcels of noodles, herbs, fish and chilli pastes, and vegetables). There's also buffalo láhp and Luang Prabang sausage. Deservedly popular.
