Vegetarian options in Luang Prabang

Don't worry if you are vegetarian and thinking of coming to Luang Prabang. Laos has some of the best vegetarian food around.

The House (Belgian Restaurant)

Other recommendations:
Best coffee: JOMA’s. Coffee is organic, fair-trade and delicious. Brewed decaffeinated coffee is available.

Best lemongrass tea: Joy's restaurant (behind the tourist info office). Also has good vegetarian food.

Fresh fruit from the fruit stalls at the end of the day market (across from the tourist info office and diagonally opposite the post office).
