Highlight of Vientiane - Edit
As an avid veganomic tourist, I'm sad to say that Laos is one of the most uninspiring countries my stomach has ever encountered. Hence, when my herbivorous travelling companion and I chanced upon Phounsub (with the assistance of Happy Cow), our Laotian venture transformed considerably!
With an abundance of fresh and cooked vegetable dishes (each with distinct flavours and textures), plenty of protein accoutrements, the choice of red or sticky rice, DIY noodle soups and a daily dessert - Phounsub's daily vegan lunch buffet turned our Vientianese hellhole into one of joy. Didn't even bother with the other local options, as we didn't want to miss our daily fix here.
Pros: delicious local 'veganised' dishes, warm friendly service
Cons: buffet lunch only :(

THE place to have lunch! - Edit
What a lovely place! For the humble price of 25,000 kip we had a delicious "three part" vegan buffet:
(1) Rice with maybe 8 different vegetable and tofu dishes, all very good.
(2) Lots of fresh herbs and little things that you wrap in big salad leafs, dip in sauce, and eat like fresh spring rolls.
(3) Rice noodles, raw vegetables, and a rich and somewhat spicy stock that you mix together to make your own noodle soup. Probably the freshest and best I've had!
There is also some kind of jelly or pudding for dessert. Didn't try it though.
The setting is simple but nice, and the locals who have their lunch here were friendly, talkative, and helpful (which came in handy since some of the food and the way to eat it was new to us).
The dishes weren't always warm, but we found them all fresh (place opens at 11am, we arrived at around 12am).
We highly recommend this place!
Pros: great food, friendly and helpful locals, very cheap
Cons: food not always warm

Tasty Laos lunch buffet - Edit
Small restaurant, not overly flash. For 25,000 kip ($3) a selection of a dozen or so trays of food, plus desert and soup. Tasty, spicy, good quality. Small selection of drinks, ok to bring your own. Attached is a small shop selling veg products.
Interestingly, directly opposite Reunion Cafe.
Pros: Taste, Inexpensive, Range
Cons: Sanitation, open food, a few flies., No brown rice (seems none in Laos!)

Yummy lunchtime buffet - Edit
A good lunch buffet, popular with locals, a short walk out of the tourist ghetto. It's true, many of the dishes were gone or almost gone by 1pm, but there was still plenty to hit the spot. Highlights for me were the battered eggplant, laap and sago dessert. The restaurant itself is a lovely space - open and airy with a sunny, plant-filled verandah. The workers are friendly. Great value at 25,000 kip.
Pros: Tasty dishes, Yummy desserts, Quiet, leafy verandah
