Savour the rebirth of Lao’s royal cuisine in the golden sheen of Luang Prabang’s palaces, where history meets haute cuisine.
Luang Prabang, Laos’s ancient capital, shimmers with the nostalgia of royalty and the aroma of lemongrass. Chefs in restored French-colonial palaces reinterpret Lao royal recipes into lavish feasts.
At Manda de Lao and Paste Laos, heirloom techniques meet Michelin finesse; think Mekong river fish in tamarind glaze, coconut-infused curries, and sticky rice dressed with edible flowers.
Overhead, golden lanterns sway while guests dine beside lotus ponds; each course is taken on an imaginary journey through Laos’s imperial past. Experiences harmoniously blend serenity with sophistication: think heritage wines and tables set in lines of local silks. This constitutes one of the hidden jewels of Asian gastronomy.
