Lao Viet

About

Lao Viet is an authentic Vietnamese-Laotian canteen located outside the Chinese quarter, facing the tram line. With closely arranged tables and folksy Asian décor, it offers a warm family atmosphere. The extensive menu explores Laotian, Vietnamese, and Thai culinary territories, featuring original specialties such as dried beef, lap mou (minced pork with lemongrass), papaya salads, and shrimp with pineapple served in the fruit. Attentive and hospitable service is a major strength. The establishment benefits from its isolated location and pleasant outdoor terrace in good weather, creating an exotic atmosphere away from urban bustle.
