Tamarind: A Taste of Laos

The Adventurous Lao Gourmet (about 420,000 kip for 2 people) is a degustation-style menu that covers exotic tastes and textures not found in many local restaurants. The drinks menu covers a range of refreshing fruit juices, herbal drinks, fruit teas, custom-made liquors, and Beerlao.

For those who’d like to go more deeply into Lao cuisine, explore Lao cooking through Tamarind’s on-site cooking school. Classes begin with a guided morning tour of a food market, where you'll learn about the key ingredients in Lao food and how they are used.

Back at the school, a local teacher will guide you through the process of preparing 6 different dishes. You can then enjoy your meals at an open-air pavilion with views over the Nam Khan River. You'll also get a cookbook so that you can recreate traditional Lao cuisine back home.
