My boyfriend and I ate here after learning they make pizza and pasta. The staff was immediately rude, laughing at us and walking away when my boyfriend was talking to them in Laos. They stood close to our table and stared at us the entire time we ate, and when we attempted to talk to them (in Lao) they would roll their eyes and walk away. Finally my boyfriend said (in Lao) "You dont speak Lao? Do you speak any language?" This made them angry enough that they backed off. They were about 6 young girls, probably teenagers. The food was a welcome change from the Asian cusine. The eggplant pasta was very good. The marinara sauce was light, and the pasta fresh. The pizza was also good, but not to be compared to pizza in the US. The pepperoni was actually hard salami and the sauce had a bit of a bbq sauce taste to it. We enjoyed it, though it is different than typical western pizza. We also got a cesar salad. The vegetables were very fresh, though the croutons were simply sliced toast and the dressing is simply red vinegar. We returned the next day and ordered two pizzas to go. The staff was still rude. The cheese pizza is tasty, with basil and a sweet sauce. Again, it is different than typical western pizza, but good nonetheless. The pizzas were about $6 each, and they were medium sized. There are other restaurants nearby that serve pasta and burgers (sabidee restaurant just down the road). The owner there was very friendly and his food looked good. If you are not set on eating pizza, and prefer a friendly atmosphere, I suggest trying a different restaurant.
This restaurant is in a beautifully restored colonial building more reminiscent of Luang Prabang than Pakse. The menu is not extensive but covers European and Asian food. I only had a spaghetti carbonara this time and it was excellent. The steaks and other meats look appetizing and I'll be back for one of them on my next visit. Each table has a button for calling for service or paying your bill, I'm amazed I've never seen this anywhere else it seems so obvious.

I understand there were staffing issues on the day we went however we were not forewarned that our food would take over an hour to be cooked, and even then, the pizza was undercooked. Has potential but there are better places in town.

Sabaidee Pakse is a new retaurant with nice Lao and Thai food and few western dishes. If you need information about the area around Pakse and the Bolaven plateau ask the staff - they know it really well. We also sell bus tickets to places in Laos and Thai
After returning from the short loop we were tired and hungry for a hearty breakfast. There were many good choices here and we liked everything we ordered. I especially enjoyed the mango stick rice and pancakes. Lots of food for small price, and yummy too!

We called here for dinner and loved it. From the front street it doesn't look like much, but if you choose to sit in the garden at the back you will find it transformed into a lovely dining area, where you get to watch the chefs busy in the kitchen and the pizzas being freshly prepared.The staff were friendly and attentive and really seemed to have fun working together.We were delighted to find the menu full of genuine Italian dishes, which we certainly didn't expect and have not seen anywhere else during our 8 months in Asia, so was a real treat.We both opted for pizzas and they were delicious, we also shared a salad with gorgonzola, apple and walnuts, it was amazing, I could have eaten a huge bowl of the stuff!My husband had the tiramisu for dessert and really enjoyed that too.All of this while enjoying an excellent soundtrack, again unlike any we've heard elsewhere on our travels, some great rock and roll tracks and some more eclectic tunes too.We had a wonderful evening here and would happily visit again, this time to try some of the delicious looking pasta.
