Khaiphaen
Luang Prabang town, Laos

Khaiphaen combines a working restaurant with vocational training for young people. Its Lao-inspired dishes offer a way to explore regional ingredients while supporting the education and employment work of Friends-International. Order several plates to share and allow time for a meal in a training environment. The restaurant has moved since some older guides were published, so use its current reservation contact to confirm the location and service times before setting out.
