Based in the capital city of Vientiane, begin a comprehensive Lao food experience discovering what comprises the national diet. Start along the riverside region with a refreshing Beerlao, soaking in the local scenery while the sun slowly begins to set. After dark, continue with a walk through the Sihom area to sample the cheap, yet tasty snacks on offer, from Lao-style donuts to steaming bowls of noodles and pork meatball wraps.

Continue with a visit to the Ban Anou Night market to sample some more of the capital’s best culinary offerings. Enjoy strolling alongside the locals to get a true sense of what life is like in Vientiane, tasting your way through the hustle and bustle. For the more traditional taste buds, grilled pork skewers are a local favourite, while fried insects await those keen on a bit more adventure! Top off the night with a savoury treat where the local specialty of ice cream and sticky rice is bound to impress.
