Luang Prabang Foodie's Night Out

Spend an evening on a culinary discovery of Luang Prabang’s food scene. Begin your adventure at 17:00 at a local restaurant along the Mekong River, timing your arrival for a stunning sunset view. (Please note: start time may vary depending on the time of sunset.) Sunset Restaurant is famous for the ‘Obama Coconut,’ as this is where the former US President enjoyed a refreshment on his last visit. A selection of the owner's favourite local snacks is available as you sip on a fresh coconut while watching the sunset over the Mekong.

Next, take a tuk-tuk or enjoy a short walk (500m) to the bustling night market food stalls. The night market is where both locals and travellers come for a cheap, and savoury meal. Sit in a reserved stall and try the grilled chicken with a papaya salad, accompanied by a fresh bottle of beer. Continue your foodie tour through the night market or take a tuk-tuk to Tangor, a trendy restaurant known for its Indochinese-inspired decor and cuisine. Here, indulge in either the red duck curry or fish ceviche, accompanied by a selected glass of red or white wine.

For dessert and a digestif, take a tuk-tuk back along the Mekong to one of the town’s newest and trendiest cocktail bars, T56. Settle in a cosy space upstairs, with tasteful decor, to enjoy one of their signature cocktails and a slice of chocolate cake. From here, choose to be dropped off at the night market for a night walk or transferred back to your hotel.

The tour ends at about 21:00 - 21:30 PM. Please note that most local cuisine is traditionally spicy and hot. Inform your guide about your chilli tolerance, and they will arrange with the restaurants accordingly.
