menu is quite extensive and the food inexpensive and delicious ( or lam 30,000K). One of the
best of the riverside options. Daily 7am-9pm.
OUTSIDE THE OLD CITY
Dyen Sabai Ban Phan Luang, across the Nam Khan 020 5104817, dyensabai.com ;
map . Arguably the most atmospheric place in town, with bamboo “huts” scattered with cush-
ions overlooking the river. The sin dad (from 70,000K for two) is reason enough to cross the
river, but the delicious cocktails (happy hour noon-7pm) and relaxed vibe will keep you here
for much longer. During dry season, cross at the bamboo bridge (5000K from 8am to 6pm)
near Wat Pha Phoutthabat; in wet season a small boat ferries people across from the same
point - look for the boat captain at the top of the steps. Dry season: daily 8am-11.30pm; wet
season: Mon-Sat noon-11pm.
TheHouse Ban Aphay 071 255021, thehouselaos.com ; map . A relaxed Belgian-French
bar-restaurant, with a cosy interior, beer garden and pétanque court. Flemish specialities
on offer include stoofvlees (76,000K), and the range of beers encompasses Chimay (Bleue
84,000K) and Duval (58,000K) - perfect (if pricey) if you're craving a change from Beerlao.
Daily 5-10.30pm.
KhemKhanFoodGarden Ban Aphay 020 5221 4794; map . High on the bank of the Nam
Khan river behind Phousi, this is a great venue for traditional Lao food, with lovely views of
the Nam Kham. The keng kai màk nao , a soup served with chicken, and the sai oua sausages
(both 40,000K) are standouts. Daily 8am-10pm.
Nisha Kitsalat Rd 071 253746; map . A short hop from the Dara Market, a no-frills Indian
that dishes up Luang Prabang's best south Indian veg curries - try the malai kofta (16,000K)
or aloo baingan (13,000K) - though there's also the obligatory chicken tikka masala for the
meaty-minded. Daily 9am-11pm.
Pizza Phan Luan Khoundouangchan Rd, Ban Phan Luang 020 5577 1203; map . Tucked
down a candlelit alleyway behind an English school, this chilled-out, candlelit garden res-
taurant across the bamboo bridge is the unlikely venue for arguably the city's best wood-fired
pizza. Pizza Margherita 45,000K, glass of wine 30,000K. Tues-Sun 5.30-10pm.
