Experience Details

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.

What You’ll Experience

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.
