With its golden-spired palaces, tree-lined streets and splendid situation at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan Rivers, Luang Prabang is an appetising prospect at any stage. Throwing some additional Lao spices into an already heady mix, however, is the town’s intriguing dining scene, which is regarded as the best in the country alongside the capital Vientiane.

Although compact, Luang Prabang offers a wealth of food experiences from dinner cruises on the mighty Mekong and down-to-earth dining at the main night market, to sumptuous celebrations of the often-underrated Lao cuisine.  This foodie journey gives guests the opportunity to sample the best of the city’s culinary offerings at some of its most vaunted restaurants. There’s also scope to learn the basics of Lao food at a cookery class. In addition to the gastronomic elements, guests will have the chance to explore the many attractions that make Luang Prabang the most visited city in Laos.
