When
you
want
to
experience
high
level
dining
in
Vientiene,
Laos,
this
is
the
right
place!!!
After
eating
mostly
SE
asian
food
for
3
weeks
in
Thailand
and
Laos,
we
were
desperate
for
good
old
western
food
(or
french
in
this
case).
What
We
missed
most
was
a
clean
atmosphere
without
dust
and
flies
hovering
over
our
food.
Also,
being
charged
extra
for
water
at
other
restaraunts
is
common
practice.
Not
a
big
deal
as
we'd
rather
not
accept
city
or
villagw
water.
At
Metisse,
our
still
water
was
complimentary
as
in
other
restaraunts
back
in
the
USA.
The
table
setting
was
setup
nicely
with
proper
flatware
and
glassware
(again
as
expected
but
rare
in
Laos).
We
were
provided
complimentary
bread
and
a
rice
crispy
type
appetizer.
Our
meal
consisted
of
a
green
salad,
broiled
chicken
leg,
broiled
pork
chop,
seafood
taigeles
(sp?).
All
were
full
of
flavor
and
blew
me
away.
I
was
not
expecting
the
flavor
to
be
correct
as
other
places
we
dined
at
were
let
downs...(think
burger
and
fries
and
ketchup...avoid!!!)
Also,
I
ordered
a
Vesper
Martini
and
was
also
impressed.
It
was
a
little
less
volume
than
what
im
used
to
getting
but
the
drink
was
indeed
mixed
properly
to
deliver
the
correct
flavor.
Again,
these
are
basic
expectations
that
i
have
for
places
in
the
USA
but
for
Laos,
its
rare.
So
if
you
are
looking
for
high
end
dining
done
right,
go
to
Metisse!
I
should
also
add
our
host
was
able
to
call
for
a
taxi
for
us
at
a
reasonable
rate
94K
kip.
Upon
getting
to
our
hotel,
driver
only
asked
for
56K
kip.
We
gave
him
100K
instead.
