Penlaos started over a decade ago as a street stall. Today, it’s an altogether different operation offering a quality menu in a building with high ceilings surrounded by lush gardens and views of the mountains. They serve Isan food using homemade condiments – the spicy catfish salad is a must. The Laosian style spicy mushroom soup is made with Tiliacora juice, seasonal mushrooms and gourd which adds a natural sweetness. The Thai coconut milk custard rounds off your meal nicely.
