Where to Find: On the Patuxay roundabout, with a plain-looking brown fence, just left of the Hotel Parasol Blanc.
One of what I think is the Trinity of top french restaurants in Vientiane (along with Le Silapa and Le Centrale).
Expect to pay $20 for a nothing short of perfect 3 course meal, making the 3 course lunch (including coffee/tea) a bargain for $6.5. Make sure to book on Fridays when many expats arrange their business get togethers. In fact, if you have to get back to work, best to avoid Fridays altogether when service is painfully slow.
