Tasty food in family run vegan restaurant

Clean and simple setting. Kapphet cooked me the fried basil and the larp - both of whoch were delicious. They pick fresh herbs from the garden and don't use herbicides. Food can take a little time but is well worth the wait. Had a great chat with Sengkeo about veganism globally. He speaks excellent english. Note I asked him and can confirm they are fully vegan. No fish sauce is used. Things are slow in vang vieng as tourism slowly opens up and I think ethical little eateries like this need our support. If they are not there, call out or message ahead of time on whats app 856 20 9194 9923. Mains around 30k kip, smaller plates 20-25k.

Pros: Fully vegan, Affordable, Delicious food

Not fully vegan :(

Just when you think you’re safe from the omnipresent fish sauce!
The restaurant looked half closed when we arrived - no other customers, an empty drinks fridge, no music and nobody around. But after we called out a lady appeared from the back.
We ordered larp, papaya salad and pineapple shakes (asked for no milk just in case). The food took a while but we could see the lady preparing everything behind the counter and picking fresh herbs & chillies from the garden, and we didn’t mind the wait.
The larp was really tasty and redeemed this place somewhat - tofu with sprouts, green onion, some noodley looking things and loads of fresh herbs. But unfortunately the papaya salad - there it was - that strong funky flavour of fish sauce. Disappointing when we thought this was a vegan restaurant.
I still gave 3 stars because, well it’s Laos and unfortunately these things happen. And the larp was really good, just a shame about the fishy papaya salad. I would probably give this place another chance, just order with the same precaution I do at regular restaurants - check for no fish sauce, etc.

Pros: cheap food (mains 15-20k), larp and shakes were nice

Cons: fish sauce!, not fully vegan despite having it in the name, weird empty restaurant

100% vegan

The food was okay. The Pad Thai we had were just noodles without any tofu, carrots or veggies. The noodle soup was okay but also not much ingredients. We had to search for someone because there was no one around when we arrived. The guy we've found shouted very mean at a lady serving us. The lady serving us didn't looked happy. Seems some kind of sad. I hope they can improve there food and service. Would really like to love this place but it was not a nice experience.

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: Poor food

Weird atmosphere, cold food

I really wanted to like this place as it’s the only 100% vegan place in town. When we arrived the man and women working there were shouting at each other and didn’t seem phased by the fact there was a few customers there. The man seemed pretty annoyed they even had any customers. Was pretty awkward but we brushed it aside as it is Laos after all. We ordered a pad Thai each and it took nearly an hour to come, when it did it was just rice noodles with a couple of bean sprouts on top... not sure if that’s how it normally comes or they’d ran out ingredients. Also it was cold. The worst pad Thai I’ve had in Asia unfortunately. Very strange but luckily it only cost 15k.

Pros: Cheap, Nice shakes for 10k

Cons: Basic food, Weird atmosphere

Fine Thai food

Wasn’t blown away by anything. Green curry was fine. Papaya salad had no flavor and barely any ingredients. Nice to have a vegan option, but there is another place down the road that we’ll go to instead.

Fine

Had rice noodle soup, curry, papaya salad, and a banana shake. The rice noodle soup was decent but not very flavorful, wouldn't get it again. Curry doesn't come with rice which is an extra 10000 (so 30000 total). The curry was good but I preferred the curry at Veggie Tables up the road, which is just a little more expensive (35000). Papaya salad was pretty meh. It's literally just spicy shredded papaya and tomato. No green bean, carrot, peanuts, the usual in a papaya salad. Banana shake was also pretty meh. Super watery. The prices are good though 🤷🏼‍♀️ One of the more underwhelming meals I've had in the last 4 months in SE Asia.

Fresh and Delicious

I choose to try the Larp and it was super tasty, though it all looked so good I nearly ordered more than one meal. Great prices - around the 15-20,000 kip mark. Food did take awhile to come out but I wasn't in any hurry. They have a garden and offered to make a smoothie with sweet mangos straight off the tree!

Amazing vegan place in Van Vieng

I had dinner at this amazing place. The couple that runs the restaurant is lovely, they speak good english and can give you a lot of details on the dishes and how they get the food.
I tried the homemade noodle soup and one mixed fruit smoothie and it was delicious, you taste the freshness of the vegetables/products they use.
So if you are looking for a vegan place in Van Vieng do not hesitate

A welcome find in Vang Vieng

This is a sweet little open air restaurant. The owner/cook was friendly, welcoming, and spoke decent English. We ate the larb, papaya salad, and a green curry with mushrooms and veggies. All were quite tasty! The larb was flavored differently than Thai larb, here featuring mint and other herbs. I thought it was delicious! The green curry was a water-based soup (not coconut milk), and the flavors were excellent. Before she started cooking, the owner picked fresh greens from plants growing right in front of the restaurant, which added a fun touch.

I saw what appeared to be sweetened condensed milk on the counter, so it’s possible that not everything is 100% vegan. Probably worth double checking, at least with your drink orders.

Pros: Good food, Friendly owner

Cons: Slow service, Unclear if everything is 100% vegan

Delicious Vegan food

Such a joy to see a vegan restaurant in a small town, especially such a good one!
We had the rice noodle soup and the larp. Both were made to order. It did take a while but was worth the wait. The Larp was so fresh tasting, just what you want on a hot day. The lady working there wss very friendly and spoke English well.
Must visit if in Vang Vieng.
We will be back!

Pros: Cheap, Delicious

Tasty&Fresh Vegan food

Just had dinner here with my husband and we really liked it, so we will definitely go back tomorrow!😄It's a family owned restaurant where the husband is the host and speaks very good English and the wife is an excellent cook.
They have a good selection of traditional dishes, made from scratch using organic veggies and their own herbs freshly picked up in front of you. The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed, the food is fresh, delicious and cheap, they also give you complimentary water and smiles...highly recommended!

Pros: Tasty inexpensive food, Big and well-presented portions , Friendly traditional environment

A piece of heaven in Vang Vieng

This small fully vegan restaurant offers local food, everything fresh and organic, traditional Larp, Suki as well as rice and noodle dishes, also have salads and spagheti. I was there several times and food is really nice, strongly recomend visit.
The location is down the road 100 metres from Wat Si Sou Mang temple.
No street name, easy to find though.

Pros: Free water and wifi, Good portions for great price, 15-20 thousand kips, Friendly staff
