BOOK

Amphone Restaurant brings the authentic flavours of Laos to the heart of Vientiane, offering a warm and contemporary setting where traditional Lao cuisine meets the welcoming spirit of Lao hospitality. A long-standing local favourite, the restaurant overlooks historic Wat Inpeng, giving diners a genuine sense of place while remaining conveniently located in the centre of the capital. The cuisine celebrates the richness and diversity of Lao cooking, with fresh herbs, locally sourced produce, river fish and premium meats brought together in dishes that balance aromatic, spicy, sour and savoury flavours. Traditional recipes and regional favourites are thoughtfully prepared with a contemporary touch, preserving their character while giving the dining experience a refined, modern expression.

From a leisurely breakfast or casual lunch to an intimate evening meal, Amphone adapts naturally to different occasions. During the day, its bright and relaxed atmosphere provides an easy introduction to Lao cuisine; as evening falls, the restaurant becomes a more sophisticated setting for lingering over dinner and conversation. At the heart of the restaurant is Chef Pern, whose more than 15 years of culinary experience have shaped a menu rooted in fresh local ingredients, traditional recipes and the stories behind Lao food culture. His approach is simple: to create food that feels authentic and welcoming while allowing guests to discover the depth of Lao cuisine in a contemporary setting.

The Chef and the Brigade


“My passion is to share the true flavours of Laos through fresh local ingredients, traditional recipes and a genuine connection to our culture. At Amphone Restaurant, I want guests to discover the richness and diversity of Lao cuisine in a contemporary yet welcoming setting, with every meal reflecting the warmth and culinary heritage of our country.”


A Contemporary Expression of Lao Hospitality and Flavours

Amphone combines modern design with the warmth of traditional Lao hospitality. Rich earth-toned interiors, handcrafted lighting, natural textures and soft ambient lighting create an intimate yet vibrant environment. Elegant without being formal, the restaurant offers a relaxed setting that works equally well for a daytime meal or an evening gathering.

The menu focuses on the distinctive flavours of Lao cuisine, using fresh herbs, local produce, river fish and premium meats. Authentic recipes are complemented by seasonal specialties and regional favourites, with each dish carefully prepared to retain the character of its origins while introducing a contemporary touch.



“Amphone is a good place to discover Lao cuisine in a setting that feels genuinely connected to Vientiane. I particularly like the combination of traditional flavours and a contemporary environment, with Wat Inpeng providing an authentic sense of place. It is the kind of restaurant where you can enjoy Lao food without the experience feeling overly formal or staged.”
Kim, the discoverer.
