We’re all about nourishing the senses, and allowing our guests to slow down, connect, revel together. We obsess over every detail and share authentic Lao hospitality and a space to experience something that is vibrant, transportive, and alive.

At Lao Lao Bar we seek to connect contemporary expressions of Lao culture and reinterpret our memories of home through sharing elevated food and drink, all viewed through the lens of Toronto.

Very inventive spin on thao food Beef Jerky app is amazing IF you like that style Jungle curry amazing if you like tomato base vs coconut..great cocktails. Tequila sour made to perfection. The fish in banana leaf a standout.. This is a higher end spin on Thai food with a Laotian twist..different spice on some dishes ..just watch out for the killer.chilo peppers!!

Such great food. We were seated in the back area, which was lovely for atmosphere and noise level. Papaya fritters and pork belly stew are absolute high hitters.

The food was nothing special, the tapioca dumplings and the drunken noodles were good but everything else was just mid. And it took 10 to 25 mins for each dish to come separately…. And our waiter was super busy

My sister and I were feeling homesick and missed Lao food so much. We decided to try Lao Lao Bar during my visit from D.C. We've been to many Lao restaurants in North America, but this is by far the most authentic we've had! Thank you for keeping the authenticity of our food. We felt just right back at home!

We were a group of 12 old friends (6 couples). The space was perfect - part of the restaurant but in our own beautiful space. Food was fabulous - exquisite flavours. Our server was super attentive, very helpful from start to finish. I will highly recommend to others. Thanks for a memorable evening!

We were blown away by this place! The food tasted so good. It was like an authentic Thai restaurant and there was so much flavour in the food! We tried the chicken wings as appetizers, the beef salad, the pineapple fried rice, and the drunken noodles. The food did take a little while to arrive but we were enjoying our dinner conversation that it didn’t bother us. I will definitely be coming back.
