A broad range of fresh Lao, European and vegetarian dishes are offered by Souphailin's Restauraunt. Portions are big, quality excellent and prices low. Especially the banana-coconut icecoffee and the curry rice with pineapple and banana are really worth a try! Be patient with cooking times or order in advance when she has many customers. May 2012 This place is touted by a employee of the tourist information center. The prices are similar to other noodle-dives around town; not too special but the portions are decently sized. On the main road across the steet are some women selling barbecue chicken and rice. It's a better deal. Chicken 5000kip, sausage 1000-5000kip.
The "Siso Bakery" on the street opposite the bus station offers great sandwiches, homemade breads, cookies and - people say - the best hamburgers "Oudomburger" in whole Laos if you want a veggie burger with egg instead of meat just order an "Oudom-Khai"!. Best choice for breakfast - they even have homemade strawberry jam.
International dishes and cocktails you can get in the nice garden atmosphere at Muang Neua Restaurant in the town center. Prices are a bit higher than usual and portions a bit smaller.
Just about 1 km from the bus station road to Luang Namtha, there is one steamboat restaurant offering good Lao's style Korean BBQ.
On the Tourism Office's town map all restaurants are shown.
