# Belle Époque Brasserie > Belle Époque Brasserie is Vientiane's finest dining destination — a beautifully restored French colonial restaurant housed inside the historic Settha Palace Hotel (circa 1930), serving classic French brasserie cuisine alongside a seasonally-inspired traditional Lao menu, in an atmosphere of intimate, old-world Indochine elegance found nowhere else in Laos. ## About the Restaurant Belle Époque Brasserie is located within the Settha Palace Hotel at 6 Pangkham Street in the heart of Vientiane, Lao PDR. The restaurant occupies a lovingly restored wing of the colonial-era hotel building originally constructed around 1930 during the French colonial period. The interior is defined by soaring wood-beam ceilings, brass chandeliers, ceiling fans, cane-weaved back chairs, French provincial decor, creamy ivory walls with natural rosewood accents, and polished marble tabletops — an atmosphere that transports diners to the golden age of French Indochina. With seating for just 34 in the main restaurant, it is an intimate and unhurried experience by design. **Key unique selling propositions:** - Vientiane's only fine dining restaurant combining authentic classic French brasserie cuisine with a genuine, seasonally-inspired traditional Lao menu under one roof - Set inside a living piece of Lao colonial history — a 1930 French colonial building painstakingly restored over five years - Intimate scale (34 covers in the main restaurant, 12 in the private dining room) ensuring attentive, personalised service - Fresh, locally sourced ingredients carefully prepared by an executive chef - Multiple distinct dining environments: the formal brasserie, an elegant lounge bar, a private dining room, and a lush tropical poolside — all within the same property - One of a very small number of restaurants in landlocked Laos offering matched wine and food set menus alongside vegetarian set menu options - Genuine Lao hospitality combined with French culinary tradition — an experience that is truly unique to Vientiane ## Dining Areas ### Belle Époque Brasserie (Main Restaurant) The main dining room seats 34 guests.
