The 32 best spots for soup in Luang Prabang

A very relaxing cafe with 2 floors. There's air conditioning at the 2nd floor. The desserts on display all looks so good. We ordered an Iced Latte, Cascara Granola Bar & Carrot Cake. The food & coffee were delicious. Would have loved to try more of their dessert menu. A great cafe to try when in Luang Prabang.

Great coffee in the town! I had ice Americano and it was very refreshing and nice. I bought a bag of coffee beans which was roasted just a week before the purchase and tried on my own espresso machine once I returned to my home. It was so good, I wish I bought more. Highly recommended!

Way too expensive for the quality of the food, We've heard a lot of good things about this restaurant on social media. We were very surprised to see that the prices online and in the restaurant have gone up. I ordered a ceaser salad, which came very small, with bacon, not chicken. My partner also ordered a very small sandwich, and you have to add a supplement for 4 fries. I do not recommend this cafe at all; you can find much better options for less.

Such a lovely place to enjoy a lazy day. Great cider & tea. Carrot cake a bit dry to my taste. Beautiful view watch the boats float by. Highly recommended for the view!

Excellent falafel wrap, pretty cheap for the quality (60 000kip, really generous portion). They have an upstairs room with windows on the Mekong River, nice too study or work or just have a great time. They have a nice terrace on the river as well.

We came here after arriving in Luang by sleeper bus from Hanoi. After a total of 36 hours travel this place was exactly what we needed. We had scrambled eggs on toast which sounds simple but was honestly so delicious. Their homemade sourdough is amazing and the egg was perfectly cooked. We also tried some of their cakes, the carrot cake and banana bread were both lovely. It is also situated by the river and is a lovely place to enjoy a meal.

I might have expected too much because of the good reviews about the carrot cake, but it was just okay. The one with cream was sold out, but they gave me some on the side. The cake itself was a bit dry, and the cream was a firm, barely sweetened whipped cream with almost no flavor. They accept credit cards, which is convenient. Staff were polite, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the cappuccino was good.

food was authentic and tasted very good, we took the bamboo soup and a set sharing menu for two of us, was all delicious. nice ambiance, and excellent service. We liked a lot the bamboo chips and the laolao rice whisky, we tried three flavors! The chilly one is great! Haha we like spicy. We preferred the table inside because there was not much to see and enjoy along the street. I definitely recommend this place. And we would come back to try also other dishes too.

We went for lunch, wanted to try a little bit of everything so went with a tasting menu - some of it really good, some not for my taste. Service was excellent and the tamarind drink was definitely interesting. We liked the mango sticky rice with black rice the best

We had a fantastic evening at Tamarind Restaurant, where we chose to try the vegan tasting menu. It was an excellent decision. The dishes were all incredibly fresh and vibrant, and it was clear that each one had been prepared with great care and attention to detail. The generous use of fresh, local herbs made every bite a delight. The entire experience was enhanced by the wonderful service. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each dish and its traditional Laotian context. This guidance added an authentic layer to the meal, showing us not just what to eat, but how to eat it. Tamarind offers a perfect blend of authentic Laotian cuisine, high-quality ingredients, and outstanding service. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly memorable meal in Luang Prabang.

I like this restaurant and I came here 3 times during visiting Luang Prabang. The restaurant serve the traditional Laotian foods and very unique. Full of favourites and very tasty. We ordered Bamboo soup and Som moo sour pork and it was fantastic 😋 highly recommend. The only dish that I would avoided is Stir fried Basil leaf with Frog 🐸 if you don't eat a whole Frog. It was not just a Frog's legs but the whole body of Frog's with skin. The staff was so friendly and he said Laos people eat the whole Frog. We came again to try another dishes and the staff gave us a house dessert.

The best restaurant we visited in Luang Prabang! All the food and drink we tried (we ordered the vegan set) was absolutely delicious, an explosion of different flavours and really big portions. The service was super attentive, explained all the dishes and how to eat them. We got the impression that they really cared about bringing Laotian food culture to tourists. We also booked a cooking class with them which was a fantastic experience as well! Can only recommend❤️

If you truly want to experience authentic Lao foods and if you aren’t afraid of unusual flavors and ingredients and textures, try Tamarind. I love to experiment and explore all things new in every country I visit, so I sought out Tamarind. Be brave! Try it yourself.

Lovely authentic Laotion cuisine. The servers were very helpful and even advised that we were ordering too much. Well presented and great food in a cosy setting.

This restaurant is tastefully renovated and exudes comfort and serenity. The menu was not extensive for local cuisine and most of the items were drinks. Ordered the 'fish & chips' cooked in the local style with fishes from Mekong River. The dish was tasty and the deep fried river weed was delicious.

The food here was excellent. I especially loved the vegetarian green curry and the fish noodle dish. Prices are surprisingly low for a restaurant of this quality. It’s a vocational training restaurant where young trainees learn hospitality, and everyone was so kind and gentle.

A gorgeous restaurant with delicious food, excellent service and a nice ambience as the monks in the nearby temple went about their evening prayer. We had the Mekong laksa, eggplant dip and mushroom dip. All very tasty with great sized portions. Generously priced too. Absolutely recommend if you’re in Luang Prabang!

After eating our way through Thailand and other parts of Laos over three weeks, we stumbled upon Khaiphaen. It was so good, we came back the next night too. Hands down, our favourite restaurant so far! The menu is small but everything is delicious. We especially loved the Mekong River fish, green beans and the very unique panna cotta. Beyond the food, we also loved that this is a teaching restaurant, which employs young people from underprivileged backgrounds. Noy - one of the teachers/waiters - is lovely, we spoke with him for about 15 minutes while waiting for our food. Overall, we were blown away by our experience here, cannot recommend it highly enough - six stars!

We absolutely loved our meal here. The quality and flavours were outstanding. Special mention goes to the pandan and coconut panna cotta. Incredible value for money. You would pay top dollar for meal of this standard in other places. The restaurant itself is charming and tastefully decorated, and the staff were delightful. Highly recommended!

The best Lao restaurant in Luang Prabang. Friendly people, great price value ratio, stylish design. Fish soup is just a piece of art Or Lam - very tasty Chicken curry - also very good

We came here for lunch and it was closed for training but undeterred we came back the next day. Good decision since the food was amazing! Loved their take on fish and chips and the red curry. The juice was sooo refreshing after a walk in the Sun 🥰 And the waiters were all adorable - we had trouble giving our orders since we wanted to understand the menu but they somehow made it work ☺️

The music and atmosphere was very nice and suited the vibe of the restaurant. The portion was large, and there was more food than we imagined. The food was delicious and affordable compared to the quality being offered.

Popolo Pizza is truly a must-visit in Luang Prabang! The pizzas are absolutely delicious — perfectly baked with a crispy crust and full of flavor. The ingredients taste fresh and high quality, and every bite feels authentic. Great Local beer in cheap price. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal even a bit hot and sweaty while a lunch. The staff are friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely one of the best restaurants in town — highly recommended!

Pad Kaprao pizza was delicious. Should have asked for crispier crust but not sure if they could have accommodated because of the toppings. Place has a great vibe and good music. Lots of attentive staff.

All the dishes we ordered were absolutely amazing. It was great to find high quality food and ingredients in Luang Prabang. Pizza was unique, pasta was amazing. Thanks for the great fun.

Great service. The staff are lovely friendly and helpful and the pizza is super thin base and delicious.

Good food, great ambience, cool and interior and great location. The pizza as well worth trying if you’re sick of noodles.

Super yummy! There’s absolutely nothing negative to say about this place. The food was amazing — the pasta had a fantastic flavor, and the pizza was a standout with its perfect taste and wonderfully thin crust. The fresh chili oil, made with dried chilies and garlic, was delicious and added the perfect kick to the meal. The service was excellent, with attentive staff who made the experience even better. It was also impressive that the bill was offered in multiple currencies, making things very convenient. The vibe of the restaurant was great and added to the overall experience. While the lemonade was just average, everything else was exceptional. A fantastic place to enjoy delicious food and great service!

Nice little shop, need to wait for lunch peak hour. Only one kind of noodle, with combination of pork and egg, then big/small size, very simple choice. Soup taste is pretty good though it looks not that clear; the noodle is soft, smooth. Spicy seasoning is pretty nice and the little lemon add a nice fresh to the noodle. Egg is very fresh, pork a bit too hard to bite. Worth to take a try for Lao's food.

Yummy noodles. The noodles are similar to the popular mouse-tail noodles but softer. The chilli paste is hot so add sparingly. Great price and the servings fill the stomach well.

It is fifty-fifty. The price is very cheap, but the quantity of noodles is small and a little salty. The restaurant is adjacent to the main road so it is easy to find. The menu is explained in several languages, making ordering easy. You can try khao bbiyak (Lao noodle) with a pork, beef and egg. Also there is khao khop (fried sticky rice).

Comfort food for Asians. Menu is simple, 3 choices. There are Japanese and Korean menus, too. This bowls was only 14k. Some local people were eating here when I came 12pm, no tourists.

Authentic, cheap and delicious. As with most good local food places in SE Asia, the menu is limited. Noodles with pork, egg, or pork and egg. Enough English is spoken there to get by, and the owners are very friendly. Cannot recommend enough.

A gem off the beaten path. Even with google, it took us quite a walk to find it, but it was worth it. We had the pork with egg for 14000 kip, and the broth was nice, enhanced by the fried garlic. The short noodles were chewy, and you are given taugeh shoots and lime to top off the dish. We were the only tourists there for lunch.

Delicious and cheap breakfast noodles, all freshly made on the day. Well worth stopping by early to get an authentic Laos breakfast. Help yourself to the free rice cakes.

The best of Laos cuisine! Perfect location by the Mekong river. You should try fish penny sauce with sticky rice. And last as well. And don't miss the Mekong seaweed crackers too!

Family run restaurant that serves Laotian food (beyond the usual basil stirfry, rice soup and fried rice!). We ordered Mekong Weed, Fish penny Sauce, minced fish salad, sticky rice for two people and the portion was generous and filling for 2 pax! Every dish was delicious and the price was also inexpensive. Highly recommend anyone visiting LPB to try!

This place is proper and was the highlight of my ventures into Luang Prabang. The dining area is a canopied row of table and chairs that sits you right next to the Mekong - uber chilling. The food is incredible. A good way to experience real Lao food. The deep fried pork ribs with garlic and lime lead is exemplary. So simple yet works so well. Fatty, umami, fragrant. Then the Lao-style papaya salad or one could argue the OG papaya salad. Flat slivers of papaya (instead of thin shreds), ba la (instead of fish sauce) and the addition of the Lao olive for phenolic flavours. Very interesting. Very balanced. We also had Jaew Kipa - fish innards and eggs with loads of aromatics. To be eaten with sticky rice. Again super interesting and resourceful. The river kelp deep fried with sesame is super umami and a great appetiser. Overall, incredible experience with great hospitality and atmosphere. 10/10

What a lovely restaurant! The minced fish salad with herbs was one of the tastiest dishes I have eaten in Luang Prabang! The cucumber salad and the fish egg dip were also very delicious. The staff were very helpful and friendly! Dont miss!

A hidden gem restaurant in Luangprabang. Located at nearly the edge of the peninsula. Serving authentic Lao food and has its own unique original menu. I recommend you to try "Jaew Kee Pla" by its name means fish poop, but it is actually fish roe cooking with herb and oil. Perfect to eat with sticky rice and vegetable. Strongly recommend for this menu which I had for dinner and makes me want to come back to eat it again the next day. Very reasonable price. Basic menu is about 2 USD and for menu with Mekong river are a little more expensive but still very reasonable.

Not sure how this place only get 3 views!!! We found this one from a YouTube video, and when we got there it has a really simple menu of English weird translation on it, and there’s only 1 table local ppl eating there. Compared to most of the other river view restaurants, it’s so low key, and not busy at all. We hesitated, until we saw one local women ordered takeout, we decided to give a try. We ordered exactly what she ordered: fish soup, minced fish salad, minced fish chops. We also decided to order Papaya salad, and basil shrimp. All dishes end up to be a huge success!!!! It’s not touristy, not fancy as some restaurants of the town. But, it’s one of the best meals we had!!! They just need to do better marketing!

One of the best Luang Prabang papaya salad in Luang Prabang is here! I really like Fish Penny sauce. It made from egg fish. It’s not fishy as Thai fish sauce and not too spicy. Deep fried fish is so crispy than I expected. Love this place!

This is a pretty chill bar in Luang Prabang. The decorations are nicely done and give the place a cozy, laid-back vibe. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Prices are affordable, and the location is perfect—right on the same street as the night market, so it’s easy to find and convenient to stop by after exploring.

We are visiting Luang Prabang from Mexico, and I must say that the Ceviche is exactly what the other reviews describe: amazing, great, delicious, etc etc. Totally recommended. The rest of food in the menu is also delicious, prices very reasonable and the restaurant and location in one of the areas main streets. Last but not least, staff and owners provided a great service.

Perfect for people watching from the terrace. Full bar, friendly servers, and everything our group tried on the menu was enjoyed. The house specialty of ceviche was my favorite. Also the fish in the parchment paper. Very tasty.

I suffered from mild food poisoning here after eating a raw burger that I ordered to be cooked medium. This probably would have been fine if they used good quality beef but given my vomiting the morning after they used cheap beef mince for their burgers and also don’t cook it for long enough.

Good food, cold beer, friendly people, excellent staff, go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy yourself. Highly recommend !!!!!!!

We stopped for a snack and had the red lentil dip which is actually a hummus and it was amazing. We also had the fried chicken appetizer that was so awesome. I figured it would just be regular batter fried chicken and it was except the flavor and texture of the batter was different than anything I’ve had. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the main dishes.

This is a chill place to hang out and watch people go about their business on the main drag. We came here often during our visit to Luang Prabang when we wanted a coke and / or a cool beer. The staff are nice, the decor has a nice vibe, the prices are very reasonable and importantly (as a tourist) we were able to pay with relatively large notes!

Strolling around and try the sticky rice, bamboo shot local curry, mixed vegetables salad Luang Prabang recipe is amazing for me. Seeing way of folk life and chit chat to them is such a lovely.

If you want a real taste of local life in Luang Prabang, you’ve got to check out the Morning Market. We went super early—around 7am—and it was the perfect way to jump-start the day. You’ll see everything from fresh produce to surprises you definitely don’t see back home (we spotted some Sapa fish split wide open and even a skinned weasel…wild stuff!).It’s mostly for locals, so you get that authentic vibe—lots of sights, smells, and a few things that will totally throw you off in a good way. We picked up some coffee and wandered the stalls for a while, and honestly, it’s a must if you want to see the real rhythm of Luang Prabang. Just bring your curiosity (and maybe skip breakfast until you get here)!

Must see if you’ve never been to a wet market without the odors of a standard wet market. With cooked food, vegetables, fruit, to freshly caught fish/birds and larvae, this is a great way to see how the locals do their shopping. Oct 2024

Very local market. Interesting to see how the local people shop for food and necessities. It is open dairy. If you have a weak stomach, pass this by.

Loved it!! We went around 6am and it was mostly locals buying fruits and vegetables. There are some prepared foods, and the spring roll we got was SO delicious. Lots of raw meats and fresh produce. Some curries, fried foods, street meat, etc. Overall a big vibe, would recommend.

So may various foods and stuffs here. you can enjoyed with the local market.

Nice market to visit after the Alms ceremony. Fresh fish, meats, fruits, spices, teas and more. A nice walk, nice vibrant atmosphere and then we stopped at a coffee shop and enjoyed the view.

Great location, right on the river and easy to walk onto the Main Street. Just around the corner to the offerings to the monks. Hotel helped with arranging food and accessories to take. Breakfast is on the terrace overlooking the river. Great pastries and bread. Excellent service. Highly recommend!

Great location Mekong River front, close to mountain Poulsi, Royal Palace, Luang Prabang National Museum, night market, morning Market and several temples. Many good restaurants, shops, massage spas and laundry places all within walking distance. Nice breakfast at Mekong River side. Deluxe room spacious, quiet, comfortable, had River view. Comfortable bed. Very nice, helpful and friendly staff. Sunset Cruise was complimentary and was great. Will definitely stay here again. No TV in the room but can be requested.

I was a bit confused of this place by the photos, but booked it due to the good reviews. Basically it's less of a hotel, and more so a collection of buildings on a street that presumably were converted to have hotel rooms. It appears most (possibly all?) rooms are facing the street, and have Mekong River views. It's only a two lane road with relatively low speeds, so not a huge deal. And in a weird way it kind of works, as it makes it more feel like you are in a town vs. a resort. Since it was low season, they double upgraded us from their base terrace to a balcony room. I always appreciate this a lot of hotels will only upgrade if your room is unavailable, or only do it if you have status. The room truly was nice- rustic styled but actually felt new and clean. Much better in person than in the photos. It was too humid to sit on the balcony without fans, but still the views from inside were fantastic. The included minibar was a nice touch. You get two beers included in your stay, and then housekeeping will refresh it with soft drinks throughout your stace. They don't advertise it on 3rd party booking sites (making me think it was a direct booking offer) , but they did also give me a free river cruise for my stay (including one drink). The hotel also provides bikes, and even ebikes for free. I highly recommend taking the ebikes accross the ferry and just riding on the other side. Really nice views, and the ebikes make the hills easy. The hotel has a restaurant accross the street that is river front. I think this is the main draw of the hotel, as you can have included breakfast every morning looking at the Mekong. I was a bit confused on what unlimited all day breakfast means from reading reviews so here's specifically what it is: Once per a day when the restaurant is open, you can order from their breakast menu (attached) at their restaurant. You can order as much as you like while seated, but you can't leave and then come back. The breakfast was good, and it's unique to have full table service. if you compare it to the massive breakfast buffets served in southeast asia by hotels in this price range, the options are more limited but that's a very high bar. In general I found the Laos food at their restaurant for breaskfast and dinner bland, but the western breakfast options were good. Especially the croissants. Note a few caveats for low season right now - the river lounge area is gone. presumably they will reopen it once it's no longer at risk by the water. - Despite reviewers metioning it, they do not do turndown service when the hotel is at low capacity. They don't technically advertise turndown and the hotel isn't in the price range where you would normally see turndown so you can't be too mad. The location is decent. You are maybe a 5 minute walk to the center of Laos "nightlife", and then a 10 minute walk to the market. Definately book here if you want to be by the river.

Such a lovely place with lovely, kind staff. The rooms are clean and traditional with wooden furniture and authentic decor. Right by the Mekong River, the rooms are across a small, one lane road and the restaurant is directly by the river. It is walking distance to the night market and shops. Very good coffee too. From Saffron coffee. Really good. It is not silent but if you're from a big city, it is very quiet and peaceful. If you're from a small town with no noise, you can hear the occasional motorbike and you can hear your neighbor a bit. It has a tranquil vibe.

Wow blown away by this hotel and the service. Room was spacious, clean and well equipped, staff are kind and accommodating. Location is extremely convenient and all heritage attractions are walkable from the hotel. The view of the Mekong river was amazing and breakfast was delicious. Would definitely come back. 100% recommended to any first time Luang Prabang visitors, they truly make this place feel like a hidden gem 🤩

We absolutely loved this place. The buildings are beautiful French colonial buildings right on the river. Our room was massive with a gorgeous sitting area, four poster bed with mosquito netting, desk, beautiful old hardwood floors and authentic antique touches like the huge wooden closet. AC was superb. Our windows opened right out onto a fantastic river view! There are so many things included in your room price. Breakfast was amazing (and included) at the riverside restaurant - build your own- we had lattes, toast and homemade jams, eggs to order, bacon, fruit plate and incredible chocolate croissants. We also loved the free sunset cruise (free drink each). Through the hotel we arranged our own boat trip to PAC Ou Cave and we arranged for our laundry to be done, and for a driver to Nong Khiaw. The staff are so kind and friendly!!! There are so many nice touches, such as unlimited water in environmentally friendly glass bottles, complimentary drinks in the fridge, umbrellas to use, newspapers.... we felt pampered and surrounded by beauty. You will be so glad you stayed here.

A lovely hotel on the Mekong riverside in beautiful Luang Prabang. Amazingly kind, welcoming and helpful staff. Highly recommend The Belle Rive Boutique Hotel to anyone looking for a serene yet central location, surrounded by great restaurants and temples, with a perfect view of the languid Mekong nearby!

The market is nice and clean. Nobody was forcing me to buy stuff from them. So even if i am just looking they are ok with that. Which is the best thing trust me. Mostly there are crafts and local things you can buy from here. A good place to spend your evenings. Lots of cafes and bars to enjoy dinner

So much to look at. Many beautiful handmade items to buy. Or just for a walk and soak up the atmosphere. The food court had many options. Locd everything about Luang Prabang and the people

Certainly! The Luang Prabang Night Market is one of the highlights of any visit to this charming UNESCO town. Every evening, the main street transforms into a lively and colorful walking street filled with hundreds of stalls selling handcrafted goods, delicious local food, and unique souvenirs. What makes this market special is its laid-back atmosphere and strong focus on local culture. Many of the vendors are artisans from nearby villages, offering beautiful handwoven textiles, traditional wood carvings, and silver jewelry. It’s a great place to find authentic Lao crafts while supporting local communities. The food section is a real treat — tucked away in a side alley, you’ll find an array of affordable and tasty Lao dishes like grilled meats, noodle soups, fresh spring rolls, and tropical fruit smoothies. Everything is cooked fresh, and the variety is impressive. The market is well-organized, clean, and easy to walk through. It’s not overwhelming like some markets in Southeast Asia, which makes the experience more enjoyable. Prices are reasonable, and friendly bargaining is welcomed. Overall, the Luang Prabang Night Market is more than just a place to shop — it’s a vibrant cultural experience. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift, trying street food, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, this market captures the soul of Luang Prabang beautifully. Highly recommended for: ✔️ Cultural lovers ✔️ Foodies ✔️ Anyone who enjoys browsing local markets in a relaxed, friendly setting

Plenty of food options and lots of cute stalls to explore. Some items in the crafts market may feel a bit overpriced, but considering the craftsmanship and effort from local artisans, it feels fair and well worth supporting.

I liked the night market visually, nicely lit and quite long. I would have appreciated the food the most, because the products did not impress me much. T-shirts with elephant outfits and small wallets for documents. But overall a nice atmosphere. Anyone who visits this city should take a walk here

Very lively and there are plenty of stuff to see, buy and eat. The beautiful lighting of a temple. Friendly vendors and they were not pushy!

Great place to wander around. Lots of handicrafts, clothing, souvenirs made from bomb metal, and food options on side streets. Most sellers speak English and Chinese

Cafe Ban Vat Sene is a charming spot in the heart of Luang Prabang, offering a cozy, laid-back atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing or people-watching. The location is ideal, right on the main street, and the cafe itself has a nice mix of local charm with comfortable seating. The menu includes both Lao and Western dishes, so there’s something for everyone, whether you’re in the mood for a local specialty or a Western comfort dish. While the food is a bit on the pricey side for Luang Prabang, the quality and ambiance make it worth a visit. A great spot to take a break, sip a coffee, and enjoy the surroundings!

Nestled on the quieter end of the market, it has good ambience with decent food. Set menu was just rightly portioned, has a mix of Italian and local food.

Top brunch spot, the Feta and Bacon baguette was incredible. I didn’t realise I was craving it until I’d had it! The crunchy baguette and soft bread rolls were a real treat, as it can be difficult to find the style of bread we’re used to. Only problem is it’s our last day in Luang Prabang so we won’t get to return tomorrow:)

Lovely restaurant with good service. Great for lunch or dinner. You can choose to sit outside, downstairs or in the lovely cool upstairs. Really enjoyed a relaxing lunch. Can recommend the Feta salad.

Laos has the unique taste of French culture infused within the city streets. It permeates in all of the architecture, a large number of tourist and of course all things culinary. We broke away from our routine search of Thai and Laotian this evening and opted to try one of the French bistros along the Sakarine road. We just so happened to stop at Ban Vat Sene and we’re very pleased with our choice. My girlfriend was craving a little something closer to home so she ordered the spaghetti bolognese and a small Neapolitan pizza, and I ordered pho with chicken as well as duck and yellow noodle. All the dishes were prepared and plated beautifully. Everything tasted amazing and felt fresh. We were fortunate enough to have a seat on the walkway itself, enabling us to soak up all the street action while enjoying every bite. The staff and service were top notch and for four dishes and waters, our total was less than 24 dollars Canadian, which I still can’t wrap my head around. It almost feels criminal to eat such high quality at such a low price. Please go support, you will not regret it! To Alex, thank you for seating us and tending to us so graciously. Wishing you all the success in your education and your future. Much love!

We came here a second time after lunch just to try their desserts and baguette. The food is really good but can be pricey for South east Asia. I thought it was worth it just for the food alone. The baguette are freshly baked and insanely delicious, the baguette alone gets 5 stars. Desserts and the garlic baguette were pretty good as well.

Le Cafe Ban Vat Sene is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Laos (very close to Wat Sensoukharam (Ban Vat Sene temple)), offering a unique twist on Italian cuisine that pleasantly surprises the taste buds. After a long morning exploring the city, we stepped into the cozy ambiance of Le Cafe Ban Vat Sene where we were greeted warmly by the staff and comfortably seated at a table close to the bar/kitchen. Our party of 8, opted for the set menu consisting of our choice of: Salada Oceane: Tuna, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Onion and Black Olives followed by a choice between Spaghetti a la Carbonara or Lasagne de Boeuf (Beef Lasagna) followed by a choice between Slade de Fruits Frais (fresh fruit salad) or Sorbet au citron vert (lime sorbet). The carbonara dish combined the creamy richness of traditional carbonara with the aromatic flavors of Laotian spices and herbs. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the sauce was velvety smooth, with pieces of crispy pork belly adding a delightful crunch. Overall, dining at Le Cafe Ban Vat Sene was a delightful surprise from the attentive and efficient service to the inviting ambiance and delicious cuisine make it a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the culinary diversity of Laos.

Ate here several times and everytime when I eat the food it is consistently tastful. It’s a family restaurant and they are very welcoming. If I ever again visit Luang Prabang I would go here again. Would recomment it to anyone!

Bamboo Garden in Luang Prabang is a must-visit! This charming spot exceeded expectations with its huge portions and incredibly delicious food. I devoured the Pad Thai with chicken and the pork omelette, both bursting with flavor. Beyond the fantastic fare, the staff was exceptionally nice, making for a truly memorable dining experience. Don't miss this little gem!

We ate here twice during our stay in Luang Prabang and really loved it both times. Both the food and the service are fantastic. We wanted to come back once more but stupidly hadn’t checked whether it was open on a Sunday. Would highly recommend if you are in Luang Prabang to visit here

Made with LOVE! everything here from the food to the generous hospitality reflects love. Real homemade cooking, authentic Lao cuisine variety. Very affordable. We did dine several times during our Luang Prabang stay. Highly recommend and not to miss ♥️

Visited here a few times as they were able to prepare my food gluten free as I am celiac. The food each time was very good, and good portion sizes too! The owner of the restaurant spoke very good English and understood celiac, as did his wife who was the chef. Not many gluten free finds in luang Prebang so definitely recommend!

Lovely staff, great atmosphere and the food was delicious- would recommend the chicken curry!

Incredible dishes. We got the stir fried chicken with basil and the vegetable curry and added chicken. Both were fresh and delicious. Very Thai inspired. We also got the sausage as an appetizer and it came out after our main dishes. It was very mid. Don’t recommend. Their main dishes though are insane!

This place is okay, we just wanted a couple of smoothie bowls and had been recommended to come here. The service wasn’t great for us, felt like we’d been forgotten about - the owner apologised as he thought we’d already ordered. Then I had to ask again for the water we ordered (not the end of the world!) The smoothie bowls were very nice and pretty filling which is what we needed, also presented nicely.

So tasty and so fresh. I came here three days in a row! The summer rolls and smoothie bowls are heavenly. Definitely worth having a meal or two here!!

Pretty good experience here, the fruit bowl is very refreshing. However, I would say a little more fruit and less yogurt is better. Service is friendly and the staff speak good English. Understandable because this place is crowded with tourist, especially those from the West.

The vegan food was delicious, the staff was friendly and spoke a little bit of English. The prices were very reasonable! Really recommend it!

The berry smoothie bowl never disappoints. Fresh fruit, yogurt, and berries, sweet, refreshing, and fresh in every bite. So good. Highly recommended.

Two Little Birds Caffe felt like it was run by a mad scientist who hates fruit. The drinks? Imagine if someone poured you a thimble of juice, buried it in an iceberg, and then drowned it with fizzy water. Voilà, disappointment in a glass. Calling it “refreshing” would be like calling a hangover “a spiritual awakening.” I just wanted actual juice, not a chemistry experiment. The bowls at least tried to save the day. They looked decent and tasted okay, but some of the promised ingredients clearly got lost on their way from the kitchen to the table. Menu says one thing, bowl says “nah.” It wasn’t bad, but it felt like someone photocopied a salad and gave me the grayscale version. Verdict: you won’t leave angry, but you also won’t leave inspired. 3/5.

Love this little restaurant! I went everyday when I stayed in Luang Prabang. All the food is fresh, tasty and fairly priced. Mostly vegan (just remove eggs if there are). Fast service, plenty of options.

Khao soy tastes unique and more delicious than the noodle. Vegetables are fresh and well prepared and displayed on the dish.

Outstanding chicken and broth noodles with blood cubes - served with fresh bean sprout and lemon slices. Maybe the best I have had since my Javanese wandering days - I would return to the city for the noodles alone

Khao Soi is a must-try dish for anyone visiting the city. It’s a great way to experience local flavors that differ from the more commonly known Thai version of the dish. Whether you're a foodie on a mission to explore Lao cuisine or just a traveler looking for a tasty meal, Khao Soi in Luang Prabang is sure to leave a unique impression.

Great little noodle shop that serves pork khao soi noodles from early morning until they run out. The best part is the bowl of delicious vegetables and herbs that accompany the main dish itself. Mix with locals and visitors and make new friends.

The khao soi was excellent. It was a generous portion with a large side of vegetables. It’s quite different than the northern Thai equivalent but just as tasty. I also loved the road side setting. Highly reccomended!

Super good Khao Soy and Beef noodle soup. Tried the Khao Soy and it has a great depth of flavor. My kids had the beef noodle soup and we all want to eat it again for breakfast tomorrow.

This is the famous khao soi noodle in Luang Prabang. The menu is simple, just noodle soup and khao soi both at a whopping 20,000Kip per bowl. From that price you know that tourists had a role to play the prices. 20K is actually quite extravagant for a sidewalk Al fresco noodle shop. I ordered the Khao Soi (best place to sit is right in front of her) and I liked it. I didn't like the price but I felt it justified a quarter of what the dish satisfied in me. Pork broth with bolognese of fatty pork with flat rice noodles. A satisfying meal nonetheless and because every tourist blogs about it. They always almost sell out at 11am. So try to be there early. You can recognise the shop just further down from Scandinavian Bakery, and recognise them by the 3 black cauldrons smouldering in hot coals. Happy Travels.

I came to this restaurant and really liked the design it’s beautifully done. However, it was quite difficult to communicate with the waitress since she didn’t speak any English. I ordered the Curry Rock Rice with chicken and was very disappointed with the dish. The drink called “Breath Freshener” gave me unpleasant heartburn, but the watermelon and strawberry drink was actually very tasty. Overall, I didn’t enjoy my experience here.

A small authentic Thai restaurant tucked in a back street. So many options on the menu u it’s hard to choose. Food was amazing and service was very quick. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Luang Prabang.

Delicious food and friendly staff! Hands down the best Cashew Chicken I have ever eaten. We will be back again before we leave Luang Prabang. Oh, and my Beer Lao was the coldest I've had at a restaurant here.

We loved our meals (green curry chicken & chicken cashew). We didn’t have a problem communicating- we just pointed at what we wanted. (Google Translate is a great back-up if needed).

Eating at Phak Luck in Luang Prabang was an absolute delight. I didn’t realize how much I missed the taste of really good fried rice until that first bite. Full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and just what I needed – pure comfort on a plate. Every bite took me back to Thailand, and the blend of spices, texture, and warmth made it one of the best meals I’ve had in a while.

Fantastic food at even better prices. We had 3 dishes and drinks for under 300k kip. Beautiful interior and very friendly staff. We will be back!

The food here is good. Fried rice is delicious and the portion is very enough. However, the soup is too sweet for me so I didn't enjoy it.

Fair prices, much better than the little convenience stores around town. Well stocked, clean and well lit. The temperature inside is a little hot though. We tried the little ice cream bags from the freezers near the checkout and were really surprised at how good they were! I recommend the chocolate flavor.

visited on Aug 2025 many shops seem to be permanently closed down. mostly skirts shop and bike rental still open. traditional lao skirt are fairly priced though if you’re considering the effort they put to weave these patterns.

Place is empty and dusty. Got a feel of "about to be foreclosed". The only open stores are for textiles and some antiques. Those are the stores at the edge of the market. The inside ones are all closed.

Good. Most can't speak English. But can manage. Cheap. Not crowded. I can recommend.

Tasty food. Chill atmosphere. Lots to buy as there's a great selection of stalls.

A random collection of shops most which were closed. A range of items not necessarily blending in one space. The actual situation did not meet expectations or the hype.

Very impressive and more fresh vegetables and big fish.I like chilli in Laos good smell and very spicy.

The town's most well-known Lao breakfast. We got up early only to sample their porridge, which was packed with a lot of pork and egg and was particularly delicious if you paired it with long stick bread and added additional chilli. They also have excellent old-fashioned phin coffee. My friend stated it was okay for them, but I thought it was a little too sweet. Due of their large customer base, the service was a little slow.

Nice breakfast option in Luang Prabang. The pork porridge is quite tasty with generous pork meat. Add soft boiled egg and dough fritter as add on, it was an excellent breakfast to start the day. There is an option for sitting in the riverbank.

Great authentic Lao noodles. Full of flavor and texture, friendly and helpful staff, I appreciate the hard work the girls do, excellent job 🙏🏻

It was ok. But I expect more by the good reviews. It's fine, I mean, just like other little places around here, you know. Many tourists! I skipped the peak hours, though the staff forgot things....

Fast, tasty. Some speak English and Chinese. We had porridge and noodles. They ask you if you a want an egg.

A breakfast restaurant is located in front of the Mekong river I really recommend noodle soup chicken what is full flavor and good hot soup. We also added Fried dough stick (PatongKo) in the soup and made different combination ☺️ There’s mass clients in the morning. It took a long time to wait a few minutes

The famous breakfast to brunch shop in Luang Prabang. Located near morning market. Riverfront. This place has not so many menus. The highlight dishes are Luang Prabang’s style porridge with pork ribs, shiitake, dry shrimp, and dry squid so flavorful and others is beef noodle (khao piek). We also order paatongko (fried bread), soft boiled eeg, and local coffee which also perfect for the morning. Despite the good river view table. Cleanliness of the place I’d rate 2/5. Service 4/5. Price is cheap.

Decided to try this place for dinner based on the excellent reviews and the availability of both fish and tofu dishes on the menu. None of the fish options were available at dinner time (6pm). We ended up ordering spicy papaya salad, spring rolls, and yellow noodles with tofu, and a can of sprite. The drink was not brought to the table - I had to help myself to the fridge myself. We waited for over 45 minutes for the first dish (salad) to arrive. It did not live up to my expectations as the vegetables were sliced very coarsely and there were a few inedible ingredients there (skins and pits of fruit and veg). When the rest of the dishes arrived after over an hour of waiting, they tasted good and the portions were sizable but it was a far cry from excellent, like other reviews had us believe. The dishes were extremely good value for money and I think this is the main draw but if you do decide to try this establishment, do prepare yourself to wait a long time.

Great, cheap food but you have to wait a long time for your meal. I recommend this place despite this, but just so people are aware it seems that they cook the dishes individually and I think they only have a couple of woks. This just means you have to wait a little longer than usual. In my opinion, it is worth the wait though because it’s cheap and I know I’m not just getting reheated pre-made food.

True hidden gem in Luang Prabang! The food felt so authentic and carried that comforting, home-made touch you can rarely find when traveling. Every dish was prepared with care, full of rich flavors that brought out the essence of Lao cuisine. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it feel like you were being hosted by family rather than dining in a restaurant. If you’re looking for a genuine taste of local food with heart and authenticity, Ajam Mora is an absolute must-visit.

The place is run by a local lovly family. The food is super delicious. The prices are the best in town, super affordable. Big portions. The service is good, and sometimes, it is a long waiting time for the food. It's better to come at dead hours. They speak little English. Great local market atmosphere.

For me this is the best value restaurant in the city. Dont expect a great atmosphere or nothing fancy, its just a local shop run by an old sweet lady that has super good food for super cheap prices, and the best for me is that they cater for vegetarians too. This is a must try if you are visiting. Authentic flavours and the best bang for your buck

I think it's really special when places exist that can be supported by both locals and tourists instead of places that are built just to support tourists. Yes, all the stands in the night market for court count as well but this feels so much more accessible. When we were there, there were entire families sitting down to eat and talking with the staff. We had the Khao soy and a basil chicken stir fry. Both were excellent and some of the best food we had in Luang Prabang in our few days there. I really hope to make it back here in the future.

We certainly agree with others that the food here is very good; generous portions for a very fair, “local” price. The service, however, was a real challenge. The person waiting tables seemed indifferent (maybe a bad day?) and re-defined the word languid. We asked if a glass of ice was available for our Coke Zero and were told yes. But no glass or ice showed up, and to be honest the women was so unapproachable we didn’t press the issue. There was only one person in the kitchen so food came out one dish at a time. We waited a long time for our food and while that’s not the end of the world be aware of this if you’re hungry or on a tight schedule. The food, however, was amazing. The Curry Rice with Tofu was done very much in the Japanese style. Great, fresh rice and rich, delicious curry really made this dish special (the small side broth was extra delicious!). The Rice Vermicelli Soup with Chicken was fabulous as well. Huge portion with a delicious broth. All in the two dishes and one Coke Zero set us back all of Kip 75K (Cdn $5). Fantastic value for money. Recommended.

I love this place. The food is incredibly tasty and plentiful(!), the drink specials are great, and the atmosphere is unlike any other--especially at night. The restaurant has a social-romantic vibe, and the servers are very kind. I hardly ever take the time to write reviews but this place absolutely deserves it

Only tried the cocktails there: sweet and unbalanced. Not to my taste. If you like alcopops this might be for you. At night the surrounding in the garden looks quite appealing, thought.

LaoLaoGarden is a totally atypical bar that bears its name because it gives you the feeling of immersing yourself in a garden at the entrance. Very nice, even the toilet! The atmosphere is sypathic with free tabe of pools. The employees and the boss are very smiling. The price of drinks is standard. I would definitely come here again.

Pleasant place in the evening, with good music. Restaurant with bar on the street side and nice garden in the back. There is a snooker table too.

Location has changed! It is just around the corner, but don't give up when it isn't where some of the maps still have it. This place is FANTASTIC! I definitely wouldn't call it a "gay" place, but the music was upbeat and fun, the drinks were inexpensive and, though of course not very strong, very tasty. Mostly permanent expats here from all over the world, but the bartenders are very friendly, drink with everyone, and become part of the fun rather than just staying coldly behind the bar serving drinks. A fun vibe with multiple outdoor and indoor areas. Besides the main bar area up front where most of the loud action and socializing happens, there was a pool table inside, a dance area, and tons of quieter outdoor seating with tables and beautiful decorative lighting. Clean bathrooms as well. The owner has really built this place by himself over many years. He has gone through a lot of struggle being one of the only "gay" establishments in the area and being forced to move locations. Keep this place open :)

The place is very average in regards to service and food and needs a deeps clean in places, 2 of the places we sat at had cobwebs where they would put a hotplate. The wait staff are friendly but some struggle to understand you which I appreciate since English isn't their native language. One of the things we ordered was forgotten and had to reordered. We also showed up the next day for drinks as its meant to be one of the only gay friendly bars and was turned away because they had decided to close over an hour early, it wasn't even 10.30 and two other customers were being turned away at the same time.

The ambiance here is great. The garden in the back is super funky and has pretty lighting. The food is so-so but what was wicked were the mosquitos! Obviously the restaurant can’t help the fact that there are bugs, but there are no coils or candles and one bottle of spray for everyone. As much as I wanted to return i couldn’t handle getting eaten alive!

Traditional taste of food taste familiar with Thai food. Spicy sweet and salty. Love the way they served all dishes with a small blow of soup. Price is reasonable. For me was cheap! Got newest photo of menus for you all!

During our staying in Luang Prabang we ate in this place at least 6 times! There are many different dishes and the prices are good! Eat here was a pleasure everytime!

The pad si eiw is to die for! The cooking is perfect. All dishes we ordered were good. The price is very cheap for what you get. Portions are generous. Would give it 6 stars if i could. The location on the map seems to be slightly wrong.

You can enjoy local food at a reasonable price. The restaurant is small and there is no air conditioning so it could be hot. The chef prepares food cleanly.

Good food at a great value. We got two rices dishes and one noodle soup for 45k. The dishes we ordered were able to be made vegetarian. Def recommend for budget eating 👍🏽

The food tastes delicious and the prices are really low. It's a homely restaurant with a small kitchen, run by very nice elderly people, in the evenings all the seats are often taken so the waiting time for food can get much longer. If you expect to be served to European standards for $2-3 and get your meal after 10 minutes this is simply not the place for you.

Everything here is excellent. Ate here several times during my stay in Luang Prabang. Today I had drunken noodles and then ordered the spicy coconut curry on chef's recommendation. Your food may take a while if its busy but that just means you know its all freshly prepared. Great spot to eat.

I was actually on the fence about giving this place 3 or 4 stars, however, several things made me give them a 3 star review. Primarily, when we initially checked in, there were probably 100 mosquitoes in the room, and the room did not have hot water. The gym did not have the air conditioning turned on, however it was quite nice. It seemed as though there would be a free airport shuttle, which ended up costing us $12 which we were told after the fact. This seemed peculiar as there are free pick-ups and drop-offs from the night market, which is farther than the airport. The breakfast was also average. Overall, a good hotel, however the location is not perfect. The breakfast is average. You can't have no hot water, no working shower and enough mosquitoes to bleed an elephant dry and contend to be elite.

The hotel features a garden space, spacious rooms, and is located on a major thoroughfare where many monks pass by for alms in the morning. It offers complimentary bicycle rentals and two free bottles of water in the room. Breakfast is quite average and not very appealing. What I found disappointing were the additional services, such as the alms-giving items sold in front of the hotel at a rather high price (60,000 LAK for a box of sticky rice and cakes, with continuous additions leading to a total cost of over 600,000 LAK), or the minivan booking to the train station quoted at 390,000 LAK compared to the usual price of just 300,000 (the transportation service was provided by a third paảty, not operated by the hotel itself)

They don't have a single bottle of free water inside room not even free drop @ Airports like other hotels do.. Expensive also very less options for Vegetarian menu

An absolutly lovely experience. From the friendly staff to the amazing owners , just perfect. The pool is never overrun and very comfy , the koi pond is stunning, the tranfers are uncomplicated and the breakfast sweeped us off our feet. This is the 'must stay' location in Luang Prabang.

Amazing place and has great rooms. The service is quite customer friendly. The main night bazar is really close so you can pick up a cycle which is free to access in the hotel and go around the streets.

Excellent rooms, clean and spacious. The pool is really nice. Although it’s not in the center they have free transfers. Accommodating and service minded staff.

Hotel is nice; heavy on wood -- floors, bed, chairs and sofa. No heating, so bundle up in December. Food was wonderful. Not near the main town center is the biggest drawback.

Lovely room in authentic Lao style with balcony overlooking Mekong River. Staff very friendly and helpful. Short walk to central area but lots to see near hotel. Only small criticism is the low water pressure in the shower but not a major issue. Highly recommended.

Very nice hotel and well located. The rooms are spacious. The service is not always very good though. The breakfast is good with a nice view on the mekong but they should renew a little what you can eat (for people like us who stayed for several days).

Nice location, Deluxe rooms are upstairs and have a nice bacony with a nice view on the Mékong river. Rooms are clean but very noisy, particularly when the staff start his cleaning at 8am. Don't intend to sleep late! Their restaurant, the View Point is absolutely not good, this will include your breakfast treat, even if you paid for breakfast with the room, I would suggest you just go somewhere else to enjoy a proper breakfast. Unless you fancy oil, salt and sugar very much.

Awesome hotel a short stroll from tons of good restaurants, night market, and boat dock! They even have some free bikes that you can use to get around town when you get tired of walking. Had a small issue with the shower head in my room; instead of waiting on maintenance guy, they immediately switched us to a different room, much nicer one too, and did it at no extra charge! Staff was incredible and very helpful when we had any questions. We will definitely be back at the Mekong Riverview next time we are in Luang Prabang!

Stayed here for 2 nights in August 2022. The hotel overlooks the Mekong river. Rooms were large and spacious, slightly old. Room had a large balcony. The restaurant- viewpoint cafe - had spectacular views of the Mekong and Nam kham rivers. Staff was friendly, courteous and extremely helpful. The breakfast spread was quite narrow and had very few vegetarian options.

We sincerely loved our stay at the Mekong Riverview Hotel. The staff was fantastic, and we really appreciated the room upgrade upon arrival. The balcony out front was a fantastic place to read and watch the Mekong flow by, and the restaurant had spectacular views as well in addition to great food. We will be back.

We stayed at the hotel as part of our honeymoon trip. The advantages - the central location, the spectacular view of the confluence of the rivers, the kind and dedicated staff, free bicycles to get around the city, the most delicious banana-pineapple-mango shake! The disadvantages - poor breakfast without variety, we found ants in the minibar in our room and sometimes in the bed. But overall a beautiful hotel and great service.

Dec 24 We ordered rice noodle soup and noodle soup with minced pork sauce. The noodle soup with minced pork sauce came with flat rice noodle. It didn’t feel like there was meat inside except for some minced pork. The soup was tasty. The price for each bowl was 40.000 kip. The price in another review of this shop was 30.000 kip a year ago. That was a big price jump for a year. That’s the price to be in tourist area I guess. Still worth a try.

Tried the vegetarian soup. Asked for no meat, only vegetables. The soup was good, but ok. For the price of 50k it was a bit too expensive.

It was very good! I tried the veggie one and it was delicious. And it only costed me 40kip which is like 2 euros

If you are looking very carefully you will find a stand - hidden vegan gems of Luang Prabang! Amazing vegan soup, where you can choose all the ingredients. Mushrooms are highly recommended!

It’s not bad although overpriced for sure at 20000. You can find other restaurants and cafes that’ll sell for 12-15000 next street over for the same quality n quantity.

Cheap and tasty pho and kao soi, with fresh veggies and noodles. I paid 30,000 Kip for a bowl which seemed reasonable for a tourist price. Nothing out of this world, but tasty and filling and the people serving are friendly. Surrounding night market gives it a nice atmosphere. Note that kao soi in Laos isn’t spicy and not like Thai kao soi with the crispy noodles

The shop is around the night market along the main street. I had their Khao Soy noodle which is a spicy noodle soup and it was delicious. Throw in basil, lettuce and some lime juice for extra flavour. They also have chilli on the side if you want it hotter. The cost is at 20,000kip (around usd2.50). Cheap good street food.

A comfortable restaurant with good, clean food, overlooking the Mekong River. The catfish salad and sausages where my favorites, along with the various dipping sauces.

great one beside the river

Tried to visit 2 times. On first visit they said they were open but had no staff. Second visit at 7pm they said they were closed.

Good Luang Prabang specialties. Good for groups. Dinner performance the night we were here. Highly recommend for local experience.

The restaurant in luang prabang province have a lot of food for eat at luang prabang province in Laos. It near th mekong river

Nice view, good taste ! Special with Lao traditional menu !

Near to Villa Kee Lee Hotel. Food and price normal.

Little outdoor restaurant with a few tables and a small menu with great soups. They even made a child friendly version for our toddler and she loved it. Price was excellent for the quality of food and friendly staff!

Amazing noodles and quick service. Very reasonable (50000kip per bowl), and comes with a huge basket of fresh herbs, lime, chilli etc to garnish. Seemed to be popular with locals as well as tourists.

Local, big bowl, good portion veggies, delicious, and cheap. Aromatic and tasty soup. So much condiments to eat with. Nice friendly staffs. Clean and tidy. Chilies can be very spicy, beware of putting.

The. best noodles I had in LP. Very tasty, comes with very fresh side veggies.

Great pho! Love the noodles here had the pork knuckle one as well really nice small place to have a meal there’s a bunch of condiments at the table for you to use to pair with the noodles, would definitely recommend!

One of the best Pho I ever try, and service either. Soup, noodles, meat and ambient are great! Lot of veggies 🥦 and seasonings 🧂 you can choose.

Great atmosphere and owner is just awesome. We came in to ask what the food is, the owner talked through it and took us to the kitchen to show. The food is tasty. Both pork and beef soup was good. The price is nice too!

We came here at about 2am after we’d been bowling as it was the only food place open near our hostel. After about 10 minutes of trying to order food (lots of dishes out of stock & language barrier), we each got a bowl of pork noodle soup. Tasted unbelievable!! Highly recommend coming here, the broth was unreal. So affordable too - we payed 35,000lak each and it was a good portion size!

Yum yum yum. Came here two nights in a row. Love the crispy pork noodle soup

Khao Soi was amazing how can I give 6 stars

Amazing duck noodle soup. Cute family owned restaurant

I got food poisoning after eating the crispy pork. The worst night of my life.

A pork rice dish cost me 65000 Lao Kip, which is double the price of other places, rubbish restaurant

Tasty soup even though we got pork instead of chicken. Friendly staff, limited English

Test is good and they give so much and not expensive Recommendation to try

Pa Dock's place is a small locally breakfast, she serves Khao Soy a typical Luang Pra Bang noodle soup, Khao Poon Nam PA a rice vermicelli noodle with caramelize fish sauce and beef soup. The taste is just awesome. I dropped by every times I came to Luangprabang

The soup (Kao Soi) was fantastic in its simplicity. I also enjoyed the fresh herbs. I‘ll definitely come again.

Good location, pleasant stuff and, first of all, very tasty meals for an affordable price.

It seems to be a soup made with octopus and shrimp. The flavor is similar to Bun Mam from Vietnam, yet distinctly different.

Their Khao Poon was delicious, quick, cost-effective, and awesome!

(Translated by Google) It's insanely delicious with flat rice flour noodles, spicy soup, meat miso, Chinese cabbage, and green onions. You can drink all the soup! (Original) 米粉の平打ち麺にピリ辛のスープ、肉味噌に空しん菜白菜ネギが入ってめちゃくちゃうまいです。スープ全部飲み干せます！

We loved our stay at the V maison boutique hotel. The location is ideal as a few steps away from the Main Street and the river boasting with restaurants and bars. The decor, ambiance and staff are absolutely fantastic. Special mention to Toun who made our stay even better. No request was impossible for Toun and she did everything with a smile. Loved the complementary mini bar, the free bikes, the free shuttle, the amazing breakfast. We had a few issues during our stay though - there was often a strong smell of sewage in our room but couldn’t open the windows become of the mosquitos. Even with the AC on and the fan the smell wouldn’t go away. The shower too , the shower head is way too low to take a shower and it’s not great to shower with one hand holding the shower head. The rain shower wasn’t good as the water pressure was not enough so more annoying than nice. The street behind is where people come for the alms early in the morning so it’s practical but then we had a huge group of Chinese tourists who made so much noise at 4:30 am waiting for the monks. We went down to see what was happening as we thought a there was a protest going on. Maybe go tell them to be more considerate towards other people who are trying to sleep ?

We absolutely loved our stay at V Maison. The location is amazing and the room was beautiful. Breakfast was also fantastic! Unfortunately, when we came back to the room for the evening, the shower area smelled like sewage and no matter how much we aired the room out we couldn’t get the smell to go away. Aside from that, our stay was great.

Really nice hotel. Everything is new. The place in the city is perfect. But the service is not at the level. They don't really speak English and don't have any contact with good travel agency for visiting around. In addition all taxi prices are too expensive

A nice place to stay, the bed is comfortable and fluffy, bright room, and good ambience. As I have meeting in their Souphattra hotel, their sister hotel, they give free ride to go there, as many times I like :) also I experience to use their shuttle car (like golf car) nice experience. The staff were also very friendly, the first staff I met when check in and also the girl who prepare breakfast for me. Although sometimes we have some misunderstanding because of English but it can be solved, either way they give good service and hospitality. Additionally, the place, is 5/5, you just have to walk few metres to see alms giving, 10 min to night market and near tp famous restaurant. If you're looking for halal food it's around 400m from there, called fathima. The porridge breakfast is delicious Overall I have pleasant stay there, thanks v maison

Unbelievable! A true gem in Luang Prabang worthy of 5⭐️!!! LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! V Maison is a new boutique hotel located in, I would say, probably the most strategic location in LP. The famous Popolo pizza is literally 1 minute walk away (right next door). 3 minutes to the alms offering route that monks would pass by every morning. Less than 5 minutes walk to most of the famous cafes and eateries in LuangPrabang (L’elephant, Le Benetton Cafe, Le Calao, Bamboo Tree etc), 10 minutes walk to the famous Wat Xiengthong and the Sunset Cruises companies, 15 minutes walk to the night market and morning market. The hotel also provides free bicycle but IMHO, the charm and beauty of LuangPrabang is best to be navigated by foot. ;) They have just opened their door in early October. Everything is sparkling new and exquisite. So fancy you can even literally adjust the desired temperature (say,37 Celsius) for your hot tub lol 😆 The bed is worth mentioning. I have been staying in many top hotels across the world and yet I would say V Maison has one of the softest, fluffiest, cloud-like bed that’d be in the top of my list. (They do have turn down service every evening) Service level is impeccable and meticulous. 💯 As a solo female traveler, the staffs have done their best to make me feel at home - in fact I enjoyed my stay so much I even extended my staying duration from 3 nights to 4 at V Maison. Last but not least, I really enjoyed their healthy curation of the traditional Laotian breakfast (of course they have western selections too) but I do highly recommend trying out their Laotian breakfast. The only “weakness”, if I must say, is there is no swimming pool. But if that’s not your concern, V Maison is a 99.9/100 Kudos and all the best to the team. I can’t wait to come back to V Maison and Luang Prabang next year, hopefully with my family this time. 😉

We had the most wonderful stay at Souphattra Luang Prabang. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The hotel is absolutely beautiful — a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort, nestled in a peaceful and lush setting. The staff was outstanding: kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Every detail was taken care of with so much care, from the delicious breakfasts to the thoughtful touches in the room. We truly felt at home and completely relaxed throughout our stay. It’s clear that the entire team takes pride in offering an exceptional experience. We couldn’t recommend this hotel more, and we’re already looking forward to returning one day. Thank you again to everyone at Souphattra for making our time in Luang Prabang so special!

A nice boutique hotel - but I asked for some fruit at breakfast, like pineapple or papaia, they don’t have… it’s a pity for a boutique hotel to have a limited breakfast for not asian persons!

It is difficult to add to the other 5 star reviews already posted for the Apsara and our experience matched that of other reviewers. Our room was exceedingly comfortable with doors opening onto the balcony which remained sunny most of the day. Staff were excellent and Ivan (the owner) was often present to provide information and guidance from his many years of living here. Apsara is well positioned making Luang Prabang easy to explore. Highly recommended.

Nice traditional hotel on the riverside and close to the main attractions.

The Apsara is a charming hotel in a great location with fantastic staff. It seems like every structure in the center of Luang Prabang is a hotel or restaurant. On one side of the central area is the Mekong River and on the other is the Nam Khan River. The Name Kahn, where the Apsara is located, is the quieter and prettier side. In early February 2025 I stayed in a second floor room, which is well worth paying for, as opposed to one on the ground level. But a friend stayed in a ground floor room and liked it immensely. Next to the Apsara is the Tamarind, one of the best restaurants in Luang Prabang. The manager, Mr Room, helped us with everything we needed. He's great.

This place is beautiful - such a charming hotel with fantastic balcony views. The room is lovely - huge space with wooden floors, pretty furniture, nice bath and shower. We felt spoiled. This was our “treat ourselves” spot on our trip and totally worth it. The staff go above and beyond to be helpful and kind. It was a perfect stay for us!

Best wines I've ever tested. Ivan is a delightful English host. Great iberico ham and cheese.

Great place, with style, views over the Namkhan and really good service. For a strange reason, this hotel appears in a wrong place at googlemaps as it is located at the river, directly.

Their attention to detail here is remarkable. Very comfortable rooms and great service.

(Translated by Google) There are some expensive foods, but there are cheap and delicious foods. This is a place where elementary school students also work, so there may be mistakes in ordering or communication problems. It was bigger than I thought (Original) 일부 비싼 음식도있지만 저렴하고 맛있는 음식 있음. 초딩들도 일하는 곳으로 주문실수나 의사소통문제가 있을수 있음 생각보다 규모가 컸음

(Translated by Google) The skewers are delicious! I also like the atmosphere. The beer is definitely Lao's Beer Lao. (Original) 串焼き美味しい！雰囲気も好きですビールはやはりラオスのビアラオでしょ😁

(Translated by Google) The place is too dirty to sit and eat here. However, it is good to take out and eat. This is my second visit to Luang Prabang, and I recommend the Indian roti shop, the Chinese skewer restaurant, and the fruit smoothie shop. :) Be sure to try roti (Original) 이곳에서 앉아서 먹기엔 자리가 너무 더러워요. 하지만 테이크아웃으로 가져가서 먹기엔 좋습니다. 루앙프라방에 두번째 방문인데, 인도 분이 하시는 로띠가게와 중국식 꼬치집, 그리고 과일스무디가게를 추천합니다. :) 로띠는 꼭 먹어보세요

(Translated by Google) It is a place to eat in the night market, but there is no special food to eat. Rather than thinking of having a delicious meal, you can go with the thought of tasting simple street food. (Original) 야시장의 먹을 공간인데, 특별하게 먹을만한 음식이 없어요 ㅜㅜ 맛있는 식사 하신다는 생각보다는 간단한 길거리 음식 맛본다는 생각하시고 가시면 됩니다.

(Translated by Google) I like being able to taste a variety of foods. (Original) 여러가지 음식을 맛볼 수 있어서 좋아요.

(Translated by Google) The ramen and wontons were terrible, but the pig's trotters sprinkled with cumin were okay. (Original) 拉麵，餛飩，難吃，豬腳灑孜然還可以

(Translated by Google) A wide variety of foods and plenty of stalls, all at very good prices! (Original) mucha variedad de comidas y bastantes puestos y a precios muy buenos!

noodle made by sticky rice handmade, The good place of local people Laos

The crispy pork and broth is delicious. We brought our own chopsticks to save using the plastic wrapped ones. Some canned drinks like Pepsi also available, but say no to the plastic cup to help reduce single use plastic waste. Excellent value.

Really good value, and delicious.

Local, cheap & yummy Rice noodle soup for 30k kip They don't speak any English but you'll understand each other with a smile:]

(Translated by Google) Just a common taste. When I asked how much it was to eat Khao Soi, he rolled his eyes thinking about it and said 40,000 kip... The amount is small (Original) 그냥 흔한맛. 카오쏘이 먹었는대 얼마냐 물으니 눈알 돌아가며 생각하더니 4만킵 이라고... 양도 적음

(Translated by Google) It's a very delicious crispy pork pho restaurant. Driving past and stopping to eat Guaranteed you won't be disappointed. Delicious, one cup is not enough 😋 (Original) เป็นร้านเฝอหมูกรอบที่อร่อยมาก ขี่รถผ่านแวะกิน รับรองไม่ผิดหวัง อร่อยแบบถ้วยเดียวไม่พอ😋

Excellent

This shop opened very recently. I get a hot americano for 28,000 kip. The coffee tastes good. It's a small shop with some tables inside and a couple of tables street side.

I liek ice cream (wo xihuan Bing chillin)
