What you can expect

  • Welcome to Champasak, on the banks of the Mekong, in the magnificent Garden Boupha:

    Welcome, curious travellers, to the heart of Champasak, where the Mekong whispers its secrets to attentive souls.

    Sit in the shade of century-old mango trees in this century-old traditional house.

    I am your host, a son of the Mekong, guardian of its flavours and legends.

    Tonight, we are embarking on an authentic Lao culinary journey: a leisurely and generous food tasting of dishes born from the fertile banks, where each bite reveals not only the flavours of the river but also the mysteries of the nagas, those sacred serpent-dragons who have watched over our lives for millennia.

    The Mekong is not just a river; it is a living, nurturing and capricious spirit that offers fish, seaweed and herbs in exchange for respect.

    Ready to listen to its stories while you savour the food? Let's light some incense to greet the spirits, and let's begin.
