The owners of the Phimphone supermarket made a good decision: They extended the already popular coffee shop to the former Chez Phillipe (who has now opened Bistro 22 opposite the Catholic church) upstairs. The name remains:'Benoni' - and it quickly became popular with expats and local business people in Vientiane.
The coffee: Well done. I love coffee latte, and this one is one of the best in town. They recently added chocolate and cakes, and I tell you, they are gooooood.
Benoni is not just coffee. It still has the tasty baguettes and sandwiches offered downstairs at Phimphone but also some extended menu.
What I like the most: The owners are actually working there, and they work quite hard. But even then you always get a smile!
My favorites are the Mozarella-Tomato-Pesto Baguette and the Salmon Burger. Others may prefer the pasta, Phad Thai noodles or one of the specials.
