Vientiane - Post Report Question and Answers
What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?
I find myself gravitating to the same three or four places for delivery: Suzette (crepes, salads), Privet (Georgian and Russian food), pizza, Osemann Bakes for You (German food and sandwiches). There is good Lao food for delivery if you eat meat and seafood. Not many Laos restaurants that deliver have vegetarian food. - Dec 2024
Lots of cheap takeout options through apps: Chompa, Food Panda, etc. However, some of the better restaurants stopped using food delivery services so you have to pick it up in person. - Mar 2024

There are a wide variety of restaurants (French, Italian, Mexican, Russian, etc) and going out to eat is one of the great delights in Vientiane. A few pizza places deliver, but I never found a reliable delivery service like I have in other countries. - Jun 2020

No McDonald's or Burger King while we were there. There were great cheap restaurants where you could get a large bowl of mee/pho for less than US$3. Some of our favorite restaurants included L'Adress de Tinay - great French food, La Banneton for great baguettes, Le Silapa - my favorite by far - and I-beam. There was a cute crepes place that opened as I was leaving. Also Nudle - a take-out/delivery place. Silapa was probably the most expensive, but between the atmosphere, the gourmet food, and the friendly owners - it was worth it! - Jan 2014
