What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Pimenton Restaurant is lauded for its high-quality steaks and vibrant Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine, offering a delightful range of tapas. While praised for its modern, stylish ambiance and excellent service, some diners note that the prices are on the higher end for Vientiane, and occasionally, service can be slow or staff may have limited English proficiency.
"Pimenton is my go-to spot for Mediterranean cuisine! The meats are perfectly cooked—not overdone—and the roasted veggies are bursting with flavor. If red meat isn’t your thing, their grilled chicken is incredibly juicy. The pasta is delightful, but the real standout is the corn soup—a must-try! Don’t miss the ciabatta with garlic sauce; it’s pure heaven. The staff are exceptionally friendly, making the dining experience even better. While it’s on the pricier side, every bite is absolutely worth it!"

"The picanha from here was highly recommended by a friend. Unfortunately, the steak was a major disappointment
While the steak was grilled properly - nice and juicy with a smoked fat cap - the poor quality beef was so chewy that I could barely make it through. It took me an hour to fight through this steak and finish it. Only because I felt bad for spending that much money on it.
On the plus side, the caesar salad was good, and well priced compared to the quality and amount that you would get in other places, such as Bangkok."

"Highly recommend this restaurant located in central Vientiane. Menu boasts a Western- Spanish cuisine with tapas, paella, steaks and classic bar food. Excellent set lunch menu which is a must try. The set lunch menu has a refreshing garden salad followed by a mains then dessert. We tried the seafood paella which came out surprisingly quickly but was very tasty and satisfying. Highly recommend the grilled chicken, the chicken was so succulent and juicy packed with amazing flavours. The prawn fettuccine was also creamy and fulfilling. Portions were large and satisfied hungry appetites. I came back on a Sunday to try their a la carte menu but unfortunately they were closed on Sunday. Great bar area and inviting ambience. Staff were friendly but spoke limited English. Service lost a star because staff were elusive and purposely avoiding us due to language barrier when we requested assistance."
