Coconut Garden
My first meal in Luang Prabang was one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had when traveling in Asia. It was not fancy but every dish burst with flavors and character. The restaurant is housed in a Colonial building with a garden out front and in back (you want to request a table in the latter). The menu focuses on Laotian cuisine; this is a great spot to try such specialties as sun-dried buffalo, minced chicken (laap) and fish steamed in banana leaves. An order of steamed lemongrass stalks stuffed with pork was so good, we ordered another serving right away. Lit up with lanterns shaped like stars, Coconut Garden is a great place for an al fresco dinner. It’s located on Savangvong Road, near the Royal Palace and across the street from fabulous jewelry boutique Naga Creations.
