Souphailin Restaurant

Top choice in Northern Laos


Don't be fooled by the modest bamboo exterior of this backstreet gem, as the tastiest Lao food in the city is served here. Friendly Souphailin creates culinary magic with her mok phaa (steamed fish in banana leaves), láhp, perfectly executed spring rolls, beef steak, fried noodles, and chicken and mushroom in banana leaf. Everything is fresh and seasonal.
