Vegetarian Restaurants In Vientiane, Laos

Posted By: Renegade Travels | Posted in: Laos, Vegetarian Food, Vientiane

Vientiane has quite a few vegetarian restaurants and also plenty of non-vegetarian places that serve vegetarian food. Here’s an overview of what we managed to find.

Khua Din Vegetarian Buffet

This was my favorite place to eat in Vientiane, as there was a huge selection of food at the buffet. Unfortunately it’s not open in the evenings. The meal above plus two fresh spring rolls cost 25,000 Kip ($3.10). The food looked much better in real life than in the photo above. It’s located at the edge of Khua Din Market – see below for directions.

The food here was very good. As well as the hot dishes, there were also fresh spring rolls and some fake meats available. All were included in the price, so it was excellent value for money.

The shop was quite basic and the front is used to park motorbikes, so it’s sometimes difficult to even get into the shop.

This is a great place to eat, as the food is delicious and the menu is also in English, along with photos of many of the dishes.

We ate here as soon as we arrived in Vientiane, and opted for the Veggie Chicken With Ginger, Spicy Mushrooms and Somtum (Papaya Salad). Portions were bigger than we usually get in similar restaurants, and all were delicious. These three dishes along with rice came to a total of 60,000 Kip ($7.50).

Vegetarian In The Golden Age

We ate here a few times and can highly recommend it. It’s a mainly Vietnamese buffet place at lunchtimes where you have rice and a choice of hot and cold dishes that are on display. But they also have an extensive menu that you can choose from. You might need to ask for it, as we didn’t see it until our second visit.

The buffet is mainly from 11:00-14:00, but some will will still be available later. Come early to get the best choice. But remember that there’s also a menu that you can order from.

There is lots of seating inside plus a few tables outside as well. You get soup and iced Chinese tea with your meal. Cost is 25,000 Kip ($3.10) per person. It’s very reasonably priced.

The outside seating is also used as a cafe area, as they serve coffee and other drinks here. It’s worth coming here just for the Vietnamese coffee.

Look for the big banner outside the shop and you’ll find it easily enough.

No English is spoken here. Just take a plate and add rice and your choice of buffet items.

We didn’t eat here but saw it when we went to buy a smoothie in the food court. The food on display look uninspiring and I don’t think I’d want to eat there. Khua Din Vegetarian Buffet and Vegetarian In The Golden Age (both mentioned above) are both only a few minutes’ walk from here and are better choices.

There is plenty of seating at the food court and a choice of around 30 food stalls. The smoothie stall is great – it’s about 4 stalls to the left of the vegetarian food.
