The Dao Savanh Review
http://www.frommers.com/destinations/savannakhet/D79587.html
This is an excellent authentic French restaurant in a beautifully renovated (in 2006) colonial-era town house. When you first come across the property, it is a bit of a shock. Among the crumbling French architecture surrounding it gleams this perfect example of elegant restoration to old Indochina, displaying thoughtful design and good taste in furnishings and ambience. The food is authentically gourmet in quality with a fine range of wine. To compound its near perfection even further the prices may be higher than many restaurants around town, but for what you get it's an absolute steal. If you are tired of the road, wilting from the sun, or simply in need of pampering, the Dao Savanh is positively restorative. There is also a brand-new Internet cafe attached with well-maintained machine

Café Anakot Savannakhet Laos.

This café is a great little café with exceptionally good food, and is ran by two delightful Japanese ladies that have made Savannakhet there home.

Western, Lao, Thai, and Japanese food. Everything from Sushi to ozzie carrot cake.

Good spot for breakfast, as the coffee is delicious.

The top new up market coffee shop
Macchiato De Coffee

quite a magnificent establishment if it ever was.

The snail tipped me off & said it was the best coffee he ever had.

and well I would tend to agree. It is right up there.
I went for breakfast twice & both days ended up having 3 cups! Simply awesome.

The breakfast was quite decent, as was the service.

Highly recommended.

The rundown nature of the premises inside certainly gives the place a lot of character.
