almost all restaurants: "Friends vs. Family Guy" Vang Vieng Restaurant Tip by DSwede

Almost all menus in town appear to be photocopies of each other. Almost all places serve the same dishes at the same prices, but some have increased the prices since they are popular due to location and/or the constant episodes of Friends or Family Guy playback.

The ones on the main street play mostly DVD's while those just north (by ~3 minute walk) along the river just have chilled music.

Search around for best deal because except for the ethnic or foreigner-run restaurants, they all serve the same menu.

Or just choose your restaurant depending if you like Friends, Family Guy or want to listen to some chill music.

Favorite Dish: Don't pay more than 10,000 kip for either a sandwich or pancake.
Don't pay more than 30,000 kip for breakfast.
Don't pay more than 15,000 kip for any soup.
