Review: The Lab

The Lab, a tapas place, is the latest "restaurant/bar" to hit Yangon. Opened no more than a few weeks ago, it's already become the hottest spot for people to go hang out, drink, and eat.

I finally took a visit there to see what the hype was all about.
The place was pretty busy, there was one large group table, probably put together for large group convenience and four tables for a group of four.

We sat at a bar and ordered wine from the chalkboard located right above the bar:
We then proceeded to look at the food they have to offer from the digital Menu:
We ordered Baba ganoush and chicken balls.
(I swear they had a fancier name for it, I can't remember it now for the life of me.)

Food was amazing. Wine... not so much. I ordered a glass of Casa de campo. It was very sour and not to my palette for the night: I was in the mood for something sweet.

How was the overall atmosphere? It could have been less echoy. I feel that the echo destroyed the what would have been amazing atmosphere. Everything else was alright. Here's a panoramic view of the place:


Will I return? Perhaps. I've yet to taste their cocktails but based on their wine and tapas (their main focus) very unlikely. It wouldn't be my first choice but it's not a place I would scratch off.
