Champasak With Love — Restaurant in Champasak Province

Excellent guesthouse and restaurant on the riverside. Love the atmosphere they've created with all the trees and plants, lanterns and fairy lights, the aquarium and little river with fish, the cozy hammocks, mattresses and swings ! They have four very cheap double rooms (no dorms) : 40 000 with fan, 80 000 with AC. Comfortable enough beds by Laos standards, windows have shutters, mosquito screens and curtains. Two shared bathrooms with hot shower. They also do laundry and bike rentals (10 000/day, no padlock, good enough condition to ride to Vat Phou and back). Nice and quiet at end of high season (16 march), except on Friday night where they had a loud party next door until early morning (not their fault). The restaurant is quite popular with the locals. Their food is delicious and affordable. Try their French toast or their strawberry shake ! Or if you feel more adventurous they have more exotic items on the menu such as spicy ant eggs salad ! And there's no problem from the noise as they close the restaurant early (9 ish). The restaurant area is on a wooden terrace by the riverside and the rooms are upstairs with their own wooden mezzanine overlooking the Mekong on sunrise side. It was a nice surprise to find such a pleasant place to stay in such a small place like Champasak. Make sure to bring some cash as the only two ATMs in town don't work. All in all very good value for money and...

At our first visit in Champasak this restaurant has been the most "wow" moment, the view really makes you wonder if you are still in Laos.

Now 6 months later living here and "Champasak with Love" has always been consistent with a dynamic team, a lively atmosphere and a large enough menu to satisfy everyone.

Some recommendations : Fried egg noodles with sea food (featured in picture, 40 000kip in July 2023), Phak Siu Chicken,​ Gyoza, Waffles with Mocha Ice Cream, Iced...

Large room with extremely nice, well designed and modern bathroom. Very poor lighting. Very firm albeit not overly uncomfortable bed. Very slow registration (about 20 minutes.) Superior rooms separated from main building by 2 blocks = very inconvenient. Very poor choice of breakfast (menus not buffet !) of poor quality and bland, not to mention that our plate of fresh fruits never arrived. Unattractive choice of dishes for dinner. Somewhat weird owner and...
