Description
A tropical climate means the year-round opportunity for outdoor dining and drinking. Although Vientiane has no beaches, you can gaze at the Mekong River from John's. At this camouflaged treat--looking just like one of the many bamboo shelters nearby--you can enjoy a basic but tasty Lao, Thai or Western meal, or just a cold beer. Popular with tourists and a loyal band of local expatriates, this is a great place to observe the character and characters of Vientiane. Homesick Australians can ask for Vegemite on toast.
