Lao Siam is a long-standing Belleville institution that has been serving authentic Southeast Asian cuisine since 1985. The restaurant features a temple-like decor and an extensive menu of Laotian and Thai dishes, from nem thadeua (fermented pork salad with crispy rice) to house-made spicy sauces and lemongrass-packed sausages. It's notably kid-friendly, with practical accommodations for families, and offers a surprisingly thoughtful wine list alongside Singha beer.
