Charming Lao Coffee

Northern Laos


Offering a level of aesthetic sophistication largely lacking in the city, Charming Lao has a fusion menu of barbecued pork, steamed fish, papaya salad, pasta variations and breakfast. Staff, however, speak little English and international dishes can end up as curious hybrids: carbonara with carrots and hot dog was a first for us! The garden features live music at weekends.
