La Scala is a new Italian restaurant located by the Mekong River. Housed in a communal style mansion, the restaurant is managed by a chef from Yangon’s L’ Opera Restaurant. An extensive Italian wine list accompanies the wide range of Italian specialties, ranging from pasta, pizza, antipasti to other Mediterranean favourites.



Another new addition to Vientiane’s riverfront restaurants is Lao Garden, which is located by the Mekong banks. Situated just outside Vientiane on the way to the border, Lao Garden can accommodate MICE groups and provide diners with opportunities to chill out and enjoy a sunset drink by the riverside. The restaurant features an extensive menu of Lao dishes and ****tails.
