Alamea Restaurant

We had dinner at Restaurant Alamea, the restaurant of the Victoria Xiengthong Palace Hotel, and it was a wonderful surprise. We enjoyed a candlelit dinner on the terrace overlooking the Mekong River. The setting is peaceful and elegant without being pretentious. The service was impeccable, attentive, warm, and genuinely kind. We had the tasting set menu, and every dish was perfectly executed. A special mention goes to the Panang curry, which was absolutely delicious, and to the coconut dessert, a real favorite. One small detail we truly appreciated: in the evening, the restaurant screens an old black-and-white Lao film. You can watch it while dining or simply while having a drink, which adds a cultural and authentic touch to the experience. An address we highly recommend without hesitation.

Delicious, fresh, authentic Laotian cuisine by the Mekong River. Indoor and outdoor dining options. They can adjust spice level. Fresh spring rolls, deep fried river weed and fish larb were all excellent, actually everything was great. Little on the pricey side but for the atmosphere and view, worth it.
