Description

Good to Know

When it comes to food, Luang Prabang is often overlooked - and that’s exactly why it’s so special. Hidden in plain sight, its breakfast scene is one of Southeast Asia’s best-kept secrets. Each morning, market stalls and street corners sizzle to life with smoky grills, bubbling pots, and the quiet rhythm of local life unfolding over plates of food. With us, you’ll skip the tourist traps and dive straight into the city’s rich food culture. Meet the vendors, hear the stories, and taste the dishes that fuel Luang Prabang each day - from smoky khao soy noodles and fried mungbean cakes to herby soups, spicy salads, and charcoal grilled chicken. Over 15+ tastings, we’ll take you on a flavour-packed journey that few travellers ever get to experience on their own.

Bottled water and local drinks included

Tuk Tuk transport for second half of tour

Led by professional foodie guides

15+ food tastings included, more than any other Luang Prabang food tour

Luang Prabang

Our morning 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 a team of professional Laos food guides. Before we get started, your tour reflects the local cuisine and 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 3-4 less tastings. ✔ Pork is used in 2-3 tastings with limited alternatives available, though the guest won't go hungry if this is your only restriction. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies & halal, due to risk of traces & cross-contamination. ✔ Suitable for mild gluten and lactose intolerances, but we advise against ✖️ celiac disease, as there are traces of gluten in 4-5 tastings, including unavoidable soy sauce. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!

Luang Prabang

After the monk's alms-giving, mornings in Luang Prabang are a feast for the senses. The morning markets buzz with early risers, steam billows from bubbling pots, and the scent of grilled meats, herbs, and fresh noodles fills the air. This is when the city’s food scene is at its most authentic - unfiltered, local, and packed with flavour. Over 3-4 hours, we'll venture through 15+ tastings from street vendors, market stalls, and hidden gems. Just some of the highlights include hot Lao coffee, fried mungbean cakes, piquant jaew chilli dips, charcoal-grilled chicken, herby Laotian soups, spicy salads, and delicately steamed khao soy noodles, among many more surprises. Along the way, your host will dive into the stories, ingredients, and techniques that make Laotian cuisine truly one of a kind.

The best bites in town

I took this tour with Nan as my guide and it was absolutely one of the major highlights of my trip. The stops were all unique and offered a great variety of foods that represent Laos cuisine and the history of food in Luang Prabang. Ranging from Breakfast to Lunch dishes and sweet to savoury snacks, this tour was a great range of sit down and market finds that I am already eager to return to the very next day! Nan was incredibly personable and tailored things to my interest/preferences along the...read more

Fijne en lekkere foodtour in luang prabang

Toun is een sympathieke gids die je heel wat bijbrengt over Laos en de typische gerechten/ingrediënten. Toun biedt een leuke food tour aan waarbij je heel wat gerechten proeft in een klein groepje. Je krijgt waar voor je geld.

Amazing Experience

Great tour! Not only was the food amazing (would not have found it on my own), but Mone was also a 10/10 guide. He is extremely friendly and welcoming, and also extremely knowledgeable. I was able to learn a great deal about Laos culture and really enjoyed my conversations with him. 100% recommend!

Best Luang Prabang food tour with Mone

Booked this in air-bnb and what a treat. Did the 830-noon tour and had excellent dishes, culture lessons, history review and banter to make it unforgettable and five star. Mone is a sociable guide who knows how to deliver top notch, delicious Lao food and so much more for the hours we spent with him. Put it this way, we enjoyed him so much we’ve invited him to join us tonight on the river cruise along with his driver singing buddy Mr Song (not just a name; they serenaded us with car karaoke 😆...read more
