I liked this place a lot, a good half day trip also for small children. The walk is short (without the upper trail which is optional) and I believe it can be easily done even with a baby stroller. Also, the location is mostly shaded and the water are cold. Tips: bring a spray against mosquitos (especially for the upper trail), wear your bathing suit (you can change there but the water part starts early), buy some food to go at the entrance since inside there is only a restaurant and no snacks. Details: We came on Friday and there were hardly any people there. The ticket costs 25k for a person (also children). A free electric car takes you to the entrance into the nature area through the village with multiple food selling stalls all over the place. In the nature reserve you first pass through the bear sanctuary which is nice but you hardly can see the bears. A few meters after passing the sanctuary you already get to the first waterfall in which you can swim. After going through a few waterfalls you have a nice restaurant in which you can get lunch and from there you continue to the final, largest waterfall. From this point you can come back by a short asphalt road to the nature reserve entrance or you can go to the upper area of the waterfall which requires some going up all the high of the waterfall in the jungle and back on slippery stairs, this is a round trip that returns you to the other side of the big waterfall. The upper (optional) area has a nice area of water and a view point to the source of the waterfall and an option to take a "boat" ride to the source of the stream for a small additional change. From the entrance to the nature reserve the same electric cars would take you back to the ticket office area.

Lovely lakes and waterfalls. So blue, so beautiful, so lush. I believe you can swim in lakes 1-4. I swam in 3 and it was fun with a bunch of little fishes - essentially like a fish pedicure with little fish nipping at your feet. The water was COLD but very refreshing.

The highlight of my trip to Laos. Beautiful waterfall. Great place to take pictures and even swim! Shows you how beautiful Laos is. There are a ton of tours and vans coming to the waterfall. Super easy to coordinate. It’s a beautiful site. Come check it out!

Beautiful waterfalls, very clean, lush foliage all around. There is an electric buggy service to take guests from the main entrance (carpark) to the waterfall. Suitable for the elderly or those who don’t want to walk much. Butterfly garden is also very charming. Separate ticket at $5 per person.

Beautiful place! Absolutely stunnig early in the morning, when the big groups haven't arrived yet. Nice little hike up and around the waterfall, but be careful, it can be very slippery when wet, because it's all mud and sometimes a bit steep. On the way down some stairs lead along a waterfall which can get your shoes wet. Must visit in my opinion !! :)

Very nice waterfalls where you can also swim in some of the pools. There's also a nice little hiking trail to the top of the waterfall. The entrance fee (25000kip) includes a ride to and from the park entrance by electric car plus there is also a bear sanctuary that can be visited where we saw at least 4 bears hanging out. The place does get very busy but somehow we were still able to avoid the crowds and find some quiet or almost private places to chill.

One of the best waterfalls I’ve ever been. The water is clear and cold when you take a dip at waterfall level 3. Come early as there is less people around. Take the trail path rather than the asphalt road to the top of the waterfall. There is also a bear sanctuary for you to enjoy. Donations are welcome. If you are coming with a motorbike, you have to leave your bike at the designated parking area and pay 2000 kip for parking fee. Then take an electrical buggy to the waterfall entrance. Toilet is clean too which is located next to the ticketing booth.

These are breathtaking waterfalls with beautiful coloured waters, visible to the bottom, fish swimming and not too crowded. You can walk as far up as you want to but even the top most layer is only a 10 - 15 minute walk of fairly easy climbing.

I went to the waterfall myself by a rented scooter. It’s an easy trip. The traffic is not an issue at all but sometimes you need to be cautious with damaged hole on the road. It took me abt 1.5 hour to get the waterfall. The waterfall is very beautiful and easy to get to it. The elders and children are definitely able to make it. The water is not turquoise color like I normally see in social media. Anyway it’s still good. Enjoy a coffee, a beer or lunch at the restaurant inside the waterfall area is a beautiful experience. Surprised that the price is reasonable and as equal as other normal restaurants in LPB. They don’t over price because they sit in the waterfall area like other places in Southeast area. Thump up for Laos people and Laos F&B business! Please bring cloths to change if you want to swim.

It is a must visited waterfall, there would be much more water during rainy season. It is a good place to bring your children and family for a recreation and enjoy the fresh air.

Beautiful waterfall with swimming lagoon pools at the very bottom. Not too cold and definitely worth swimming around to cool off after hiking up and circling the upper falls and pools. Watch your step as the trails are super slippery. Probably don’t do the upper hike if has recently rained.

We loved it here. However, we went the right way up (when facing the Waterfall) and when we approached the "way down" path, we assumed the path beside it was up. Well, it was a path and it went up. We followed it through the Junge for about 1.5 km and ended up in an extremely lost place (See photo). Very curious. Then when ging down we saw that the actual path up was closed. We took a nice long bath which was refreshing and enjoyed the view. Can recommend. Even during off season, however. I can't imagine how crowded it is during high season.

Went during rainy season so the water fall was so dramatic. (You should be careful thou) Bears were super cute. Nature was quite beautiful and you will be able to see some butterflies too.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls I’ve ever seen! Be prepared to see a lot of people there dressed up just to take photos. The main falls don’t allow swimming, which means you can get a lot of pictures without people in them :) The water is super refreshing and there are lots spots to take a dip.

It’s full of tourist at sunset and its obvious why, is the best place to see the entire town and how the sun goes down in the Mekong River. It’s better to climb up from the south as it has a lot to see (temples, Buddha statues, a relic, a cave, etc). The price entrance is 20.000 kip but it seems it’s not enforced for everyone.

Nothing much to be honest. You get to see the river flows in between some hills and the landed house up south. What I’ve captured is all you will see. I guess beauty is subjective. Entrance fees of 20K Kip whether you come from the front or back of the middle hill.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the top of the mountain. The sunset is around 5:30 PM, so if you want to see the sunset, you need to check the time. Enterance fee is 20,000 kip (per person). They sell things at the beginning of the route, but you don't need to buy them essentially. If you go up the stairs a little, there is a place where you pay the entrance fee.

A complete exaggeration to call this a "hiking summit" and some of the "sweeping views" of the city are obstructed by trees. On the way to the top you can see an imprint of Buddha's foot, or a small cave with a random statue of someone (not Buddha) inside. Admittedly I did not go here for sunset so maybe it is truly a nice place for that, otherwise there is no need to spend 20 minutes going up, getting a few pictures, and coming down again.

Short but steep hike for a great city center sunset view! Definitely worth a quick stop before dinner, as the exit spits you out just a few minutes from lots of restaurants

One of the best sunset I have ever had!! It’s located exactly as shown on the maps. There are 2 official entrance, the one next to the river and the one next to the Night Market road. After paying KIP20K, you need to hike for about 10 minutes till you reach the peak. I suggest you to go at 5pm, so you can secure your spot to enjoy the sunset. Since there will be more people coming after 6pm. There is a temple up there, but tbh the temple it self is nothing special. Just a small, regular, ordinary temple. And ya, you are allowed to wear short pant. So no need to worry with the heat 😅

On the top of this hill, you can see views 360d of the Luang Prabang city. Sunset watching is among the most famous activity on this gorgeous hill.

A beautiful Buddhist monument, beautiful view over Luang Prabang and a great spot for sunset. However expect crowding and queues to get photos in front of the view. I would advise getting to the top 30 minutes before sunset to explore and get a good spot. I would say it takes ~25minutes to climb the steps to the top depending on your fitness level.

Unfortunately, it was hazy so there was nothing much to see during the sunset. It was not very crowded, probably because of the haze. Nice high view of the city where buildings are generally no higher than 2 floors. I can only imagine how much more mystical the view would have been hundreds of years ago when Luang Prabang was chosen to be the capital of the old kingdom. It was a nice little exercise to climb up the stairs. I went by the side entrance in front of the Nam Khan River (instead of the entrance near the night market), hence managed to see a few statues on the way up and down. There is a counter on the way up to pay the entrance fee of 20,000 kip. There are dustbins at the top and a little stall selling drinks and chips.

Nice little trail up, just a quick 10mins up for me. There's several entrances from each side of the hills - night market side or Nam Keong side. Many Buddha statues along the way. The view on top is a great vantage point of Luang Prabang and for sunset.

Pretty nice place but gets pretty crowded later if you want to grab a photo of the sunset but it’s a really nice place! None the less it’s quite the little hike up from near the night market area and there’s a entry fee of 20000kip per person I would recommend maybe once to come up here as it’s rather nice small activity here.

Colorful night market along the main street requires a visit. The market closes around 9:30. Hundreds of booths all selling the same t-shirts, bamboo straws, aluminum bottle openers, and hair bands. All vendors are ready to bargain, but this is their livelihood and items are already cheap by Western standards, so please don't bargain hard. If you get them down 10,000 kip, you just saved $1. Was it worth it? The quality of the items for sale is average. For high quality merchandise, visit a store. If this review was helpful, please click Like!

Full of unique staff and food based on Lao. The price is not too bad. It is available to bid the price with the seller, so you can get the best price. The unique thing, there are some buffet food, that U can take how many as you can in one plate and pay as only 15.000 KIP.

Better than the night market in veintain. Got way cooler stuff around. Good pricing on everything with most vendors, again depending on how well one bargains.. but no-one is pushy and shopping here is a very pleasant experience.

I really loved the products on display. I saw a lot of items different from what I saw at the Chiang Mai, Thailand night market (in case someone is wondering about the similarities). The clothing was beautiful, as were the many crafts. Because I have plenty of souvenirs, I only bought honey, mulberry tea, and Laotian salt. Worth the visit even if you’ve been to a night market before and even if you’re low on cash.

General local products Let's walk around and have fun. You can buy it as a souvenir. Quite quiet, walk to the end of the street and you'll find a food court.

A very interesting night market with many stalls / outlets displaying their wares on the ground. Many locally made accessories, woven bags, footwear, attires and lots of food and beverage stalls too. Mostly, tourists patronize the stalls and bargains are the norm. The night scene is great for photography.

While there are many wonderful cafes and restaurants in Luang Prabang, I find the night market experience the most satisfying, even if you are here for a couple or more nights. The night market spans blocks, taking over the main street of the town from 5 pm onwards. Closer to the center of town - near the stairs to the mountain temple and the palace museum - the market is primarily souvenirs, artwork, and local crafts. At one end it becomes all food, and branches into a large circular area filled with outdoor seating and surrounded by even more food stalls. Fish, seafood, beef, dim sum, soups, satay, fruit and juice, sweets and bakes, it's all here, affordable and tasty. Happily for me there were four different stalls offering large vegetarian menus of local food, similar to Thai style. I ordered noodles one night and rice the next and both were hot and tasty, with savory sauce, lots of veggies and plant-based meat representing the non-vegetarian versions of the same dishes. Drinks are available. For a sweet afterwards I stopped at a small stand crafting pandan tapioca mini pancakes, served with a toothpick for scooping from a banana leaf cup. Handsome and friendly staff was particular about flipping them at just the proper time, and was willing to ask you to wait until they had a good set. I also tried the fruit juice stall... While they offer many combinations on a sign board for easy ordering, it's possible they may have run out of some fruit. In this case the friendly stall owner was willing to take suggestions and create a custom mix and match fruit shake - wonderfully fresh and a great finish after the main course. While the market gets cooking after 5 pm, many of the stalls begin to roll up the mats about 9 pm so be sure to start early enough you can order and eat at a few places.

Night Market Luang Prabang Great and large market with many different local products and souvenirs you have to trade. However, enjoy

Stinky toilet with no issues. Wet and disgusting. Closing time is 4 but they close the Wat and Car exhibition 15 minutes early.therefore, I had missed the most important sites to see. WEAR LONG PANTS- almost every where in Laos. Otherwise u need to pay 5k for rent. Museum looks interesting to discover.

Good way to learn more of Laos n it's Monarch. Entrance fee is kip 30k; strict dress code to be observed. Gets warm in summer months within the Gallery, that show cases the paraphernalia of the old Monarchy. Lots of restoration work is still going on. Royal Temple is out of bounds, can only view from the front

Beautiful palace, but badly run museum. The palace is really beautiful and definitely worth a visit. It is just a pity that the people running the museum don't seem to like it that you visit. The place closes 2 hours for lunch and calls it a day at 4 in the afternoon. There is some English explanation in the museum, but only about the object you are looking at. You don't learn anything about the history of the kingdom, the royal family, the court, or the civil war that ended the whole thing. Dress rules are a cultural thing, but considering the fact that they killed their last king in a re-education camp, - not that you would pick that up in the museum- it's a pity you have to rent a long legged pant to go over your shorts because of 'respect'. (it was 35 degrees in the shade) And you are not allowed to bring anything at all into the gallery. The smallest purse, cellphones, expensive cameras, your babies diaper bag, everything has to stay in a shoddy locker. Taking picture is strictly forbidden. So I can't show you that the palace is really pretty and worth a visit. Just don't arrive to late 👍

Interesting cultural dance show that supports the local people and culture. High energy- Not one of those performances where it's clear they've been performing all day long. Highly recommend. You can get photos with them after. Worth the money!

Absolutely loved it here. I spent half a day seeing all the beautiful exhibitions. It was apparent that buildings and gardens are well taken care of.The energy here is amazing! You need to cover your skin and no photos allowed here, it's a rule and a matter of mannerism. Please have some respect.

Royal Palace converted into a museum. Note you have to keep your bags in the locker room (for free) as it cannot be brought into the gallery - no bags, no camera, no phones. The overall complex is sizable and a nicely stroll around. There's also the temple where the Prabang Buddha statue is worshipped - of which Luang Prabang is named after. And at the back there's the cars and carriages. There's also a Royal Ballet Theater that performs on certain days.

The place is quite wide and includes both a church and a palace. But inside the palace, photography is prohibited. Next to the black market, at night the lights are on, very beautiful.

In the museum we're due to take our shoes off and no photo. Cannot go inside the historical monument and not allowed to take photos. Bags in the lockers. Pathetic car collection. Globally worth to be seen. Very central.

If I could go back again I would not pay into the Royal Palace & would instead take photos of its architecture from across the street where you can climb some steps to get a better view. Like any other Royal or Religious area you must cover your shoulders & knees which is to be expected. If you arrive in anything less, shirts, pants & skirts can be provided. I understand that some people really enjoy the history behind it but even then, there is not a lot on show. Without signage / audio guides or even staff too assist, you are left to walk around what is basically a very poorly maintained crop of land. Bag’s of rubbish litter the patchy grass & the trees / bushes are in a desperate need of trimming. The garage is pitiful to say the least & royal palace itself did not live up to our expectations. I can only assume this is the reason why no photos are aloud inside as they fear other people may find out. I can not argue when it comes to the temple as I have yet to find one that is not beautiful. You may climb the steps, but not enter this one or take photos of the inside. They do allow you to take photos of the buildings when on the Royal Grounds, just not the insides. Again, without the historical knowledge or the ability to take any photos which I can not already take outside, I don’t see the point in going in.

Lovely buildings and grounds. Had to go back to hotel to change to cover shoulders and knees which is understandable(large Buddha collection in museum). I left with no real coherent impression of Lao history which was disappointing.

A nice place to visit in Luang Prabang. A beautiful mix of colonial and Lao architecture. The main hall is very beautiful - painted in red and decorated with glass mosaic. Taking picture is not allowed inside. They are very strict with the dress code. Located prominently at the historic center so might as well visit and take a look. Five star still..

An old temple located at the confluence of two rivers, the Mekong River and the Khan River. Lao architecture and art are very admirable.

Beautiful temple. You must visit if visiting Luangprabang. My nephew in the pictures love it 🥰

Super unique and special temple. Stunning artwork, unique experiences for buddhist and other kinds of temples. Very interactive and dynamic spot. If you want to learn more take a guide as there is no explanation or english signs anywhere but it is a significant temple so taking a guide IS recommended. Busy and busier as the day goes on. Can spend a lazy afternoon people watching and taking in the art.

A beautiful temple complex. One of the highlights on our trip. A reminder to foreigners, you must remove your shoes if you want to enter any of the buildings. Please be respectful. Don't trek your dirt into sacred spaces.

Totally a must see temple in Luang Prabang. You should visit with a local guide, they will tell you a lot of interesting facts and history about the temple. If possible, visit in the afternoon from 3Pm, when sunlight shines on the walls of the temple, creating a spectacular view. And remember to dress appropriately when visit the temple. Visited in January 2020

Beautiful and very peaceful place. I was so lucky to be there just before they start chanting so I have a chance to sit down and heal my soul :). The monks are also very nice and friendly to let us take some photos. Actually I saw a lady take many of their photos so I follow to take some. I hope if she uses it for magazines or whatever commercial purposes, she would pay back for the venue or for the monks so they can have some funds to maintain and raise the monks. Love all the details and decorations.

I ABSOLUTELY love this temple ! Temple of the Golden City. Wat Xiengthong (Temple in Laos and Thai called : wat/vat) Still remain one of significant monument, the spirit of the religion. and you definitely (if not) can feel it just by being there. I could not express into words enough. The rich red and black walls are decorated completely with gold stencils. The wooden structure is well-maintained that shown authenticity Satisfaction Rating Scale : 10 out of 10 Entrance Fee 20k kip

There is an entrance fee of 20,000 kip/person. It is a temple with beautiful architecture. Inside the temple, you can walk around. The highlight point that people go to take photos is the window with the red wall. The time I went was being renovated.

Probably the worst meal we have had in Laos. The vegetarian options are not good. We had the summer rolls which were tasteless and so rubbery we didn't eat them all and generally I love summer rolls. We had 3 other dishes which were so spicy we couldn't eat them. This was after we asked for none spicy food. Without the spice the dishes were probably tasteless. There are so many better places to eat in Luang Prabang.

Fabulous food. Plenty of vegetarian options, eg a tofu interpretation of laab. Also many drink options building on local flavors - interesting and fun to try. There's even a kids menu. Seating is nice: There's a small terrace overlooking the river, and some indoor seating (not air-conditioned). Service is friendly, proud of local flavors and happy to explain. They allow credit card payment, as long as the 3% fee is covered by the customer

Really outstanding restaurant. First, the food is top-notch. Second, Lao food isn’t super well-known globally, so it is particularly great that they explain the origins of and ingredients in each dish. We got the set menu. The lemongrass stuffed with chicken in particular was one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten in my life — it now forms a core memory and I remember the experience months later.

Complimentary and yummy banana chips are provided. Staff were helpful in explaining the meal and also accomodating to your needs. Had the tasting platter and sub the red meat out. Food was good and definitely a nice introduction to Laotian cuisine. I especially enjoyed the stew.

Great meal at Tamarind last night, a great intro to Lao food and really enjoyed some of the interesting dishes such as bamboo chips, local seaweed crisps and the BBQ pork and stuffed lemongrass with sticky rice. My only call-out is we found the pork to be a bit dry in both the BBQ pork skewers and the local stew. Overall though it was very good and we would highly recommend.

Best dinner we had in Luang Prabang. Lemon grass stuffed with chicken and the fish with a banana leaf were excellent. The opening plate was also very good. Eat mostly with your hands, like the locals. Fair price. Highly recommended

Pleasant atmosphere and pleasant staff, across from the small river. Tried the set menu which included a broad sampling of Laotian foods. But for any given food we had, we felt that the food in the night market was as good or better. Certain foods, however, are not available in the night market. The pumpkin soup contained at least seven or eight different vegetables and a complex variety of herbs. Very unique and tasty, though not amazing.

It’s a good introduction for Lao food if you never have tried any kind of dish. They have some 5 small thematics bites or even pre-set menu for different tastes. Every dish is explained, with a good English, by the waitress. The service is extremely good. It’s expensive for Laos standard, but also super tasty. Also, they have cooking classes por anyone interested.

Such a great Lao cousins. We had one of the recommended set and everything was so delicious. The staff was really lovely and they explained what are the dishes. You should book the place in advance thou cuz it’s quite popular.

Quite good sunset experience in here. Very nice place located at the end of a dead end street. The setup of the bar is super nice and chill, you can easily relax and enjoy the view. There’s a happy hour on Lao cocktails, they were good and couldn’t feel the Lao Lao much but refreshing anyway. Recommend this place for sunset, the Freedom fries were good as well, you can be sure it is homemade.

It's tricky to get there. The location is very relaxed and well furnished directly to the river. We like their philosophy. The staff was friendly but quite slow and unattentive. Everything took much longer than in other places. Food was okay. The pulled pork sandwich was a bit boring from the taste, spices were missing. The chicken sate was a bit dry, but the sauce was excellent.

A very wonderful place to chill out in Luang Prabang. You can enjoy a drink together with some savoury dishes in an extremely vibe atmosphere. A must when you visit this ancient city of Laos.

The PLACE to hang out with your friends and meet other travelers in Luang Prabang ✌🏻 Morning Yoga classes, unforgettable crazy nights, Utopia has everything for every time of the day 😁 great vibe and beautiful decoration !! Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it there !!

Great restaurant on the other side of the river. Really nice cocktails and the buffalo was very tasty. My partner asked for no onions but got them on her plate. However staff were quick to rectify mistake. Pricier than other places but worth splashing out.

Nice view of the river and nice waiters but that’s about it. We ordered 2 mango sticky rice: the portions were tiny and was not to our taste at all. They serve it with a side of sweet omelette, 3 half slices of mango and some rice. All for 90000kip and 20min wait. Would hope the other dishes to be more authentic.

Really love this place! Food is amazing and ambiance is great. Dining next to the name Khan river. We are staying at the other side of the river at LP and that's why it was a walk away from our hotel. But most folks would need to cross a bamboo bridge for 5000 kip. Love the service as well from humble lao people. The Luang Prabang salad is the best we've had with egg yolk dressing that's super yummy and the steamed fish is just perfect.

Laid back, good value drinks and lovely setting. It looks over the Nam Khan River, but where you used to be able to take the bamboo bridge across, this has now washed away and you simply call them when you get to the river bank and they send the boat across to fetch you. The happy hour runs from 12 noon and has buy one get one free cocktails. The seating is on floor cushions in bamboo huts overlooking the river, very picturesque. Food is a range of asian pub snacks (small ribs, laos sausage, fries, etc) plus laos bbq meats and vegetables which you do at your table. Cheap and cheerful, nice staff, ok cocktails especially given the price but mostly a lovely setting, chilled vibe and relaxed experience.

Renowned chilling spot in LP for tourists (I didn't find many locals come here). Okay food, okay drinks. Consider ordering Lao BBQ here as prices were way too high compared with other local BBQ (Sindat) in town. Good view of Nam Khan river though. No car parking. Bikes only.

What a pleasant surprise- I expected a local-style eating house but instead walked into a stylish, romantic restaurant. A bit dimly lit in places but the red and white table lights give a lovely ambience, as do the lights reflecting off the river from LP. Prices are reasonable with great tasting food ( buffalo in pepper. Also chicken cashew nut. Both delicious with sticky rice). The smoothy or juice options are exotic and tastebud blowing. An exciting menu option is the "fondue " especially if in a small group- very social. Back again 2 years later for a delicious lunch ( fried chicken and a generous platter of fried fish). Beautiful views over the river, mellow music makes a great place. Pity about the lack of tourists due to Covid19 restrictions. It will pass...

4.5 stars. Great location and atmosphere. Fun dining experience (cats fighting on the roof and one of them fell off). Food is generous and good but not " holy smoke" or "daaaamn" yet . We kept getting free fried eggplant dishes and I had to tell the waiter please stop wasting food on us.

A beautiful restaurant with amazing views of the Nam Khan River. We went to this restaurant twice during our stay. They accept USD as well as the local currency Kip. It is more expensive than the local restaurants but it is worth it. The starter meat platter was a real highlight! The buffalo larb, fried bamboo were great. Our favourite mains were the red curry and orlam (pork stew). The staff are very attentive and quick to provide service. Highly recommend!

A nice place to have dinner overlooking the Mekong river and sunset. The view is breathtaking, that’s for sure. Food was nice. They have 2 for 1 happy hour cocktails from 12-7 pm. You have to pay 10000 kip for a boat ride as the restaurant is located on the other side of the river. But it will be credited on your total bill. Overall, it’s a good dining experience in Luang Prabang.

Very nice restaurant. Specializing in French cuisine. A little expensive compared to other local restaurants, but not when compared to Europe or the US. Food was most excellent! Good selection of items and presentation always perfect. Don't miss the creme brule! Interestingly, the restaurant was very busy at 19:30 on a Friday, but the crowd had disappeared by 20:30.....so if planning an early dinner it might pay to call ahead.

Food was great, I especially enjoyed the use of Lao ingredients, yet French cooking and technique. The buffalo steak tartare was fantastic, as was the Mekong fish in mustard sauce. I thought the portion sizes could be bigger for the price.

Excellent restaurant in Luang Prabang for French cuisine. Lovely ambience, good quality food (pair with wine, reasonable pricing for good quality) and attentive service staff.

Lovely food, lovely staff. Very classic. Worth a visit if you come to Luang Prabang

Nice place with solid service, but didn’t quite meet the hype for me tonight. My buffalo steak was cooked nicely and the fries and veggies were pretty good as well. Good meal, I just wasn’t blown away. That said, this restaurant has an extensive menu and I imagine there are some other specialty dishes that are really good.

Nice service I had duck dish. The source is very good but duck is a bit chewy

We had a wonderful dinner with a glass of 🍷! Beef carpaccio(probably the biggest in my life) and beef tartar were delicious and totally worth the price, staff is friendly and helpful, would def come back again!

The Elephant was my first meal in Laos! It was a perfect dining experience complimented by sublime service and in an amazing period building. Extensive menu and all of our dishes were amazing. Had the buffalo steak for something different and really enjoyed it

This was the best food experience in this town! Amazing fusions and fresh flavours. Jackfruit tacos, veggie burger and the 3 flavours mango sticky rice were a good option. Delicious smoothies. Great surprise with the traditional plate (I can’t remember the name, it’s on a round bamboo plate in my pics). Staff very friendly! We needed to repeat the experience and came back on our last day in town.

Fabulous place with really friendly staff who speak very good English and the menu has got loads of choices and vegetarian options too. We had the Buddha Bowl (small) and Tofu Salad bowl - both were delicious, fresh and looked beautiful. The inside is really cool too - great atmosphere and decor…..we’ll be back!

My family and I had a very pleasant lunch there. They were super kid friendly - brought paper and chalk for our small child and other toys for the baby. The food was very good and the menu has some very interesting fusion items. I tried the green curry gnocchi, which was very tasty, but I think I would have preferred it with just sticky rice, although it really was perfect gnocchi! The mango sticky rice dessert was ok - they tried to get very modern and make the rice into balls and put the sauce in a little cup which just made it difficult to eat in a rectangular plate. The same was true for the fish in coconut sauce. Overall good experience, great service, tasty food.

We really enjoyed Bouang! From the decoration to the food, everything was great. The menu comes in a metal pan, has a few vegetarian options and one or two vegan ones. We ordered the gnocchi which were amazing, creamy on the inside (not too filling), the mango spring rolls (great for starters) and the red curry (very big and filling!). Nothing was too spicy. They brought free water with the meals and kept refilling it.

We only had the chance to eat here just once, unfortunately. If we knew about it earlier we would have gone here more than once because we absolutely loved it! It's an interesting Asian fusion restaurant. All the ordered dishes tasted great. Started of with the fresh mango spring rolls which is an interesting variation of the common spring rolls. For the main course we had cinnamon pork stew and gnocchi green curry. The portion of the ladder one could have been slightly bigger, though.

We came here because of the vegetarian options and Had a very nice dinner at this place. The combination of gnocchi and curry was (unexpected) fabulous and also the Buddha bowl was nice and refreshing. But the best part of our dinner was - first, the sticky mango rice and - second the great and attentive service Good value for money / but touristic. Nevertheless - fully recommend!

We loved sharing the mango spring rolls and papaya salad as a starter. The grilled fish was perfectly cooked and the pork stew, although rich, was delicious. Nice outlook on to a pretty section of street. Our new favourite place in LP.

Really lovely veggie burger, fresh homemade chips, really cool interior, wait safe are lovely and attentive, the drinks menu is in a fake passport which is fun. It's pretty much western prices here but fully worth it. I'd sit outside, it's actually hotter inside.

I loved the incredibly varied vegan and vegeterian options. The pumpkin soup was delicious and the buddha bowl was extremely tasty and nutritious including different ingredients. Personally I would prefer for the vegan burger (jackfruit based), to be less soggy but the seasoning and taste were proper. Service is fast and approachable.

I order Lime Chicken burger which is taste fine. I like fried potato. Atmosphere is quite nice and chill

Pros: The vibe is really chill, the music is good, there are fans, our favorite item was the Nem Khao (crispy rice salad) and the service was great! We would rate this item 10/10. Love the decorations as well! Cons: it is sadly not your authentic lao restaurant, if you are looking for that, we don’t recommend here, it’s more of a fusion-Lao-western restaurant. The Larb Gai was pretty to look at, but does not live up to the authentic larb gai, it honestly doesn’t even taste like it, the Luang Prabang sausage was just okay. I would rate these two food items 6/10. We would come back and try the burgers next time!
