L’Eléphant

Considered the best in town, the menu has both French and Lao food. Not only is the décor charming but so is its setting at an intersection of two small twisting roads. We each had soup to begin: onion and cream of pumpkin with bergamot leaf–flavored coconut cream followed by si kry (lemon grass stuffed with pork – I couldn’t get enough of this dish with any filling!) and kranab pa (river fish stuffed with pork and herbs and grilled in a banana leaf). It was all delicious.
