Makphet restaurant expands in new location
Makphet, one of the well-known restaurants in Vientiane has expanded its service amid rising demand for clean and delicious food.
The management of the restaurant held a ceremony to open the new venue of the creative outlet at Inpeng village in central Vientiane last week. The new restaurant venue is larger than the previous one and can therefore accommodate more customers.
Ms Ketsone Philaphandet, who runs the restaurant, told Vientiane Times that she decided to move the restaurant to the new location because she wanted to expand the restaurant's as the old one was not big enough for customers.
“We have signed an agreement for 5 years at the new location,” Ms Ketsone, who is also Country Programme Director of Friends International Laos, said.
Demand for clean and delicious food in Vientiane has seen a rapid increase over the past few years thanks to strong economic growth. At present, a number of international restaurants such as Japanese, Korean and Chinese restaurants are also doing good business.
The inflow of foreign tourists into Laos is also creating a bright future for restaurants in Vientiane.
Makphet (Chilli) will really spice up your dining experience. This award winning restaurant has received Trip Advisor's Certificate of Excellence Award in 2013 and 2014, as well as a gong from the Miele Guide and is the culinary destination of choice in the Lao capital.
Makphet offers creative Lao cuisine, as well as great shakes and cocktails, all in a beautiful surrounding. Specialties include the frozen hibiscus and lime daiquiris with the dishes free of MSG using locally grown ingredients. You can also enjoy amazing appetisers, weekly specials and daily happy hours deals.
The restaurant also has a gift shop, Friends ‘N' Staff, attached to it selling products made by families which will help their children in education.
Set in a French colonial building, Makphet is a family-friendly restaurant with a warm vibe. It features a spacious dining room and large garden for kids to play.
The restaurant offers a mix of dining options, cosy banquet seating, artisan made communal tables fashioned from reclaimed wood and comfortable wooden chairs. An outdoor seating area in the lush garden is also available.
