Things to do in Don Det
1. 4000 Island Bar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 75 reviews
Lao owned and run by Nisa and her expat husband Sel. We served a wide variety of cuisine including some of the best indian and western food on the island. Browse through our music database or cue some songs on your own device. We like to serve up good times with plenty of cold Beerlao, domestic and international spirits. Riverside view just 10 meters from the beach landing of Don Det. We speak fluent English and can guide you with any query. If music is catching your ears on Don Det, there's a good chance it's the 4000 Island Bar. We want you to enjoy your stay in Southern Laos.

This place is a great spot to hangout for a beer on the balcony, or grab a delicious curry. The potato-based curries are amazing, and cheap. Perhaps a little dark inside, and the music kept cutting off, but not far off full marks!
2. Mama Leuah Restaurant
Overall Ratings
5 based on 236 reviews
Located directly on the banks of the Mekong River, Mama Leuah offers clean and simple bungalows with ensuite, balcony and hammocks - perfect for enjoying the amazing sunrises! You can also relax in the restaurant while enjoying excellent asian and western dishes, great coffee, fresh fruit shakes or a tasty cocktail. If you're lucky, you might even get to witness a breathtaking moonrise!

I was in the restaurant of „Mama Leuah“ three times and had different dishes. Each one was just excellent. Atmosphere great: very well mantained wooden construction of the restaurant, cordial service of the very likable laotian - german couple with son, unobstrusiv music combined with the wonderful view on the river. Super.

The service here is awful. Girl didn't bother to say hello, was not kind at all and we had to ask for drinks two times. The food was average and unfortunately my stomach was upset afterwards. Would not recommend.

1st fish restaurant in Don Det.
Reviewed By VroniBei
We found this restaurant on a hot day while searching for the perfect bungalow. Among Laotian food you can also order the national foods of Neighbouring countries or some more European meals like Burger. Especially good was the offer of specialties, that weren't even on the menu but were at one evening just recommended by the very nice German owner Mike or his even nicer wife Tip. My Husband had special salty fish made in Banana leafs (unfortunately I cant eat fish, so I didn't try). At one point we had chicken filet of best quality with a special egg salad and mashed potatoes, which was soooo good. My recommendation of the menu is the yellow Curry, which has a decent spicyness. Also, while eating you will hear a lot of Don Det-Gossip which makes for good entertainment! I loved it there and hope to be back soon.

Oh yeah! When we've been there, they had a 'remodelling' going on, but caught them open one night. Pumpkin burger is legendary and the fries with cheese and spicy gravy is pretty good too! But the real highlight is the ginger ale Lao Lao drink they make.

Western Service, Big Portions 200 Grm Beef Patty Burger Bbq You Can Count On Western Food Done Western Style
Reviewed By traveladdict5609 - Royal Oak, Michigan
Street View, owned and managed by Aussie Darren and his Laotian wife serves some of the finest Bar-B-Que in SE Asia. Done in a western style and served in huge portions, the food is both filling and delicious with everything cooked fresh. Darren has concocted his own sauce and you will enjoy it immensely. The service is swift and friendly, the wifi is strong and the views are excellent. Do not miss a meal here when on Don Det.

Reviewed By SofiaVSilva - Maputo, Mozambique
I would only recommend this place for a sundowners drink. The balcony really has one of the best sunset views in the island. Go for a beer or a cocktail however I wouldn't stay for dinner. For one is one of the most expensive in the island, beer is expensive and not always served cold. The dishes were not very carefully prepared. I had a Pad Thai which just wasn't a Pad Thai. Even if you complain nobody seems to care much, the waitress is not very nice or smily like everywhere else... Even though the banana fritters with honey were actually good, the dinner was quite disappointing considering it is one of the most expensive in the area...
10. Fleur du Mekong Restaurant

Reviewed By Paul L
The restaurant overlooks the Mekhong river to Mukhdahan in Thailand.
They have a wide variety of foods available. French, Western, Laotian, Fusion and the best Pizzas in Savannakhet. (Seafood thin crust is unreal!)
The only restaurant where I have been moved to compliment / thank the chef...ever!
For drinks, they have an extensive cocktail list including some great tasting non-alcoholic ones plus the usual beers, whiskeys, rum and other spirits.
Prices are very reasonable compared to a lot of the western restaurants here.
Service is very good.
Open 9am - 9pm Mondays to Saturdays
Closed all day on Sundays
