Dyen Sabai
Ban Phan Luang, across the Nam Khan, Laos

Dyen Sabai offers a relaxed change of scene across the Nam Khan, with bamboo huts, garden seating and a choice of tables or low cushions. Its Lao barbecue makes dinner a shared activity, while the broader menu includes lighter dishes and vegetarian options. The approach is part of the experience, but river crossings depend on current conditions and arrangements. Contact the restaurant for directions before setting out and allow enough time for an unhurried meal.
