Choose it for a calm, sit-down French meal in the old centre, not for vegetarian or Indian-style food. The menu is French with Asian influences, so vegetarians should phone ahead. Check current hours and prices.

Why it matters
Why L'Addresse (Cuisine by Tinay) is worth your time
Vientiane's French influence goes back to the colonial period, and a proper sit-down French meal is one of the few ways to taste it. Two independent guides name this restaurant and agree on the area behind Wat Ong Teu.
For a family on a longer holiday, it offers a calm, higher-end evening in a city where most eating is casual. It is not the place for strict vegetarians or Jain diners, so judge it as an occasional treat and check what the kitchen can adapt before you commit.

Plan your visit
How to experience it
Book a table and ask for the set menu if you want the least decision-making. Laos Travel says the restaurant offers set and a la carte menus and an extensive wine list, and Evivatour describes French cuisine with Asian influences. We have no dish details, so we name none.
If anyone in the group is vegetarian, call in advance and ask what the kitchen can make without meat, fish or egg. A French kitchen often uses butter, stock and cream, so ask specifically about stock and dairy if that matters to you.
The street is quiet and sits behind Wat Ong Teu, so it pairs well with a temple visit in the old centre. With a wine list on offer, tell staff if your group does not drink. We quote no prices; expect a higher bill than a street meal.
Plan with confidence
