Our favorite place was View KhemaKhong, that was next-door to where we were staying. This restaurant also had magnificent views of the Mekong River. There was an upper dining area, and then you descended some steps down to the lower section. Here we were served by two young sisters, one we nicknamed Grumpy and the other Happy. The food was fantastic. Typical Laotian food consisting of large portions of mouthwatering Lao Rice paper rolls, filled with bean sprouts and pine nuts and some other great flavours we couldn't place. The fried beef with cashew nuts was sublime, with a touch of chili and stir-fried Asian vegetables, including watercress, accompanied by some plain rice.
Wine by the glass was reasonable and not too bad quality, but also try the Lao wine as well. It is a cross between port and sake and won't make you gag. Le Tm Tm Garden offers French and Lao food. I tried the Lao Salad that consisted of of lettuce, watercress, tomatoes, peanuts, and Lao dressing. They also made beautiful baguettes filled with a variety of choices; my partner opted for ham and cheese, which he said was delicious. They also made sublime banana shakes.
"The Pizza Luang Prabang" was always busy and extremely popular. Typical of Luang Prabang eateries, it consisted of a large room, broken up with ferns, and open fronted. Filled not only with tourists, but also many locals... they offer great, reasonably-priced food and good service. We opted for a standard pizza, as we needed a break from rice and noodles, and it was delicious.
