Good food recommendations here
An overview of Luang Prabang's food scene
From recent personal experience, these are good
Khaiphaen Restaurant TREE Alliance also
Silk Road Cafe |
Tamnak Lao, Luang Prabang Kitchen, La Rosa and many more to chose from. We haven't had a bad meal in all of our trips there.
Pak Ou caves were a bit underwhelming imo. Go across the river if you get the chance, it is worth it just to wander around.
Pullman (Sofitel group?) have a new hotel opening soon, they may have some specials for that time of year. It's a bit further out, but they will have a shuttle I believe. The Sofitel isn't as far out, 20 minute walk down to the 'old town', and they have shuttles to the 3 Nagas each night.
As I said previously The Sanctuary was good, and Mekong Riverview also has a good reputation
A lot of places have cooking classes, highly recommended as well.
Big Brother Mouse may be closed, but if open you can drop off items for local schools, books, pens, toys, what ever and talk to locals wanting to practice their English.
