Bida Manda is a thoughtful gathering place celebrating the diverse food traditions and culture of Laos. The Sanskrit ceremonial term for father and mother, Bida Manda was created out of the deep love and appreciation of food and its power to bring people together.

Please be advised that we only seat complete parties. Reservations are highly recommended, however our bar seats are available at a first come first serve basis. Due to high volume, we have a 15 minute grace period, if you are running later than 15 minutes from your reservation time kindly give us a call and we will try our best to accomodate you.

Thank you so much for your continued support and we can’t wait to host you soon!

    We enjoy this unique restaurant. We were seated near the front door on a cold night and were periodically blasted with a cold draft. Service was good after a slow start; the food is lovingly prepared, large portions (we’d prefer smaller servings) so ended up taking half our meals home. Next time we’ll ask to be seated away from the front door.

    Food quality has decreased quite a bit. My Curry pumpkin plate had all vegetables undercooked and hard.

    Nice for on Resort. Service on the islands is what you may expect, staff very friendly. Food was good. Ambiance could be a bit better....just compared to other fine dining restaurants in that general area.

    Uniquely delicious! Never had Laos food before. Food is very rich and flavorful. Thai iced tea was a tad sweet for me but nothing that melted ice or water couldn’t fix. Minus star for sea-bass price not matching on printed menu and what was charged and the sticky rice not being sticky. It was hard when served.
