Lao Café

Like many other London restaurants, Lao Café started out as a successful pop-up before finding a permanent site. What's more unusual than its story is the food it serves, as it's one of the less often seen spots in the city where you can try authentic Laotian cuisine. The menu at this simple yet welcoming Covent Garden eatery includes different salads, grilled specialities, soups, noodles, and more, accompanied by hot tea, wines, beer, or soft drinks.
