Food & Drink

From street food to upscale dining, savor Laos' diverse culinary delights.

Laos cuisine is packed with flavours and aromas influenced by Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese. The morning and evening markets are the best time to enjoy street food, and the upscale restaurants are for experiencing high-end traditional recipes. While exploring restaurants and markets, you'll come across the Laotian signature dish — Larb. It is a salad of thinly sliced meat flavoured with greens, herbs, and various spices.

Sai oua is another popular dish, which is a pork sausage that compliments well with Khao jee — a crunchy baguette sandwich stuffed with flavoury paste. If you are vegetarian, you must try spring rolls made with rice paper.

Speaking of beverages, Laos has a variety of drinks on offer - from beer and coffee to juices. Beer Lao is popular among locals and comes in various types, like Gold and Lager. Laotian coffee is made from the French press. The coffee is slightly strong, sweet, and served with condensed milk, giving coffee enthusiasts an unforgettable experience.

The destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years. If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek Travel

We had a wonderful and amazing two weeks in North-West Scotland. Shoutout to Jacqueline at Goway Toronto and the driver/guides with Rabbie's minibus tours (Stefan and Willie). Well-chosen hotels and no worries with dietary requirements; every detail was taken care of. Thank you! Ben Daube

Such thoughtful and sincere communication with my advisor Katie! Even though the trip didn’t come into fruition as expected, she still remained committed to adjusting around our itinerary every step of the way. I’m very thankful for the opportunity she gave us as well as just general ideas for the trip.Jenna

I just returned from escorting 34 people to China with four stops. We had hotels, local guides and extensive daily sightseeing. We had flights and we had high speed rail. There were numerous components that could have gone wrong but did not. I would like to highly recommend local guide Yoyo in Shanghai as well as Kevin in Xian. Two of the best guides I have ever had anywhere in the world. Suzette Castro and her team at the Goway Group Department did an excellent job helping me put this together. I was demanding, they were totally cooperative. It went well. I will be back. Amy Fink, CTC at Blue Ribbon Travel ArrangementsAmy in San Bruno, CA

Had an extremely great holiday in China and hongkong & Thailand! Quite a few $$$(More than what we had planned, but if you want top luxury and experience - never haggle) Ameet our destination specialist was prompt and professional. He gave us the right suggestions and planned our trip meticulously and without interruptions. Goway 24 x7 customer service is incredible and I would definitely book my next trip with Goway!
