1 Best Restaurant in Laos

L'Elephant Restaurant Français

$$$ Fodor's choice

One of Luang Prabang's finest restaurants offers traditional French food, with a dash of Lao influence, such as the chevreuil au poivre vert (local venison in a pepper sauce) and the several daily specials usually include fish fresh from the Mekong. Seating is available in the bright, airy dining room or on the sidewalk, behind a barrier of plants. You can order à la carte or opt for a three-course prix-fixe menu, and if you need relief from the heat, head to the air-conditioned section.
