Overview

As the sun sets over Luang Prabang, the real food scene starts to simmer. Street stalls fire up their grills, pestles pound out papaya salad, and the city’s boldest flavours come to life.

On this evening moveable feast , a local food guide will take you far beyond the tourist menus. We’ll graze our way through riverside eateries, local favourites, and back-alley markets.

Expect over 15 tastings - from sticky rice roasted over hot coals to herb-packed Lao sausage, sesame-spiked beef platter, grilled Mekong fish, and a steamy bowl of khao piak sen noodles, and much more. It’s everything you need to get a real taste of Laos, and off the tourist trail.

Activity itinerary

Luang Prabang

Our evening feasting tour of 15+ tastings invites guests on a culinary experience around the historical city of Luang Prabang. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of professional Laos food guides. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, & the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian diets sorry, as there would be 4-5 less tastings. ✓ Suitable for mild gluten & lactose intolerances, but we advise against ✖️ celiac disease, as there are traces of gluten in 3-4 tastings with unavoidable soya sauce. ✔ Pork & beef is used at a couple of places where there's no alternatives, though the guest won't go hungry if either meat is their only restriction. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies & halal, due to risk of traces & cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

Luang Prabang

Meet our food-obsessed host, as we crunch into riverweed crackers and hmong mushroom dip, before an saffron orange-robed monk invites us for an open floor chat to discover about their unique lifestyle in Luang Prabang. After a short blessing, we'll hop foot to the Mekong, as sun sets over the riverside eateries, with plates of pun pa grilled fish served with a bundle of fresh herbs and vegetables.

Luang Prabang

As night falls over Luang Prabang, the true flavours of the city come alive. The air fills with the scent of sizzling charcoal-grilled meats and piquant papaya salads. Go it alone though and you'll merely scratch the surface of Laotian cuisine. On our nightly moveable feast, a local food guide will take you far beyond the tourist menus. We’ll graze our way by foot through family owned joints, local favourites, and back-alley markets. Expect 15+ tastings - from steamed catfish in banana leaf, to herb-packed Lao sausage, beef platter and a cold beer Laos, and charcoal-fired khao piak sen noodles in pork broth, among many more surprises. It’s everything you need to get a real taste of Laos. This is the side of Luang Prabang that restaurants won’t show you. Come hungry.

Luang Prabang

A short tuk-tuk ride takes us a 60 year-old dessert shop, whose recipes are a closely guarded family secret, passed over generations. The tour ends close to the meeting point in central Luang Prabang. Enjoy local hospitality and meet new friends along the way, ,ending the tour armed with the knowledge you’ll need to continue eating local food across Laos and beyond.
