Why it matters
Why Xang Khoo is worth your time
Vientiane's French colonial past shows in its bakeries and cafes, and a creperie is one of the more distinctive ways to taste that. Two independent guides name Xang Khoo, one with a street number on Pangkham Road, so its address is consistent.
For older travellers, a lighter meal of a pancake or a set lunch can be a welcome change from spicy Lao dishes. It is a modest address rather than a landmark, so go for an easy lunch and check the details on the day.

How to experience it
Order from the daily menu if you want the lowest-effort meal. Evivatour mentions affordable daily set meals, and Wikivoyage mentions a daily menu alongside the galettes. Ask what today's set contains before agreeing, as we have no menu details.
Wikivoyage highlights gluten-free galettes, which are savoury pancakes, and describes the place as a Lao-French creperie. Evivatour lists Asian and French food. Together that suggests a lighter meal than a typical Lao banquet, suited to a travelling group tired of heavy or spicy food.
Vegetarians should ask about fillings, and whether fish sauce, ham or egg is used, since we found no vegetarian statement. Sweet crepes may be the simpler choice, but confirm ingredients. We quote no prices.
Plan with confidence
