5 Stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Edit
The food was amazing and the restaurant is very accommodating to various dietary needs. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about what is vegetarianism and veganism. I had the rice cakes with seaweed, tomatoes, and mushrooms. The fried banana dessert and coconut ice cream were also tasty. The water is purified and safe to drink. I also like what the restaurant stands for and how it trains young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

vegan dessert, a pleasant surprise! - Edit
I was happy to support this place because of their involvement in training disadvantaged youth. The service was mixed but I was very happy with the food. I had a veggie-tofu dish which was so delicious, and then just when I thought I wouldn't be having dessert at all in Luang Prabang, it turns out they have a unique and very yummy vegan dessert option, which I was so impressed with :-)

Worth supporting - Edit
Staff struggled to take our order or understand our requirements due to lack of English so we ended up with egg tofu when we had requested no egg. However they were very apologetic and sweet and the food was delicious. Great community minded concept which in itself is worth supporting
Read morePros: Tasty food, socially responsible
Cons: Very basic English, quite pricey

One of the highlights of Luang Prabang - Edit
This restaurant is awesome in so many ways. To begin with, the food was lovely and used local ingredients to prepare Laotian dishes. There are clearly marked veggie options and great drinks as well. But what is really amazing about this place is that it acts as a teaching restaurant for at risk youth from Laos. It teaches them to cook, speak English and Laotian, and other important skills. 94% of the profits go back into the community and I was really humbled at this wonderful cause.

Amazing flavors! - Edit
Delicious green curry. I ordered without tofu/egg to make sure it was vegan. My omnivore hubby was very happy too. All of the flavors were delish!

Very helpful but tofu contains egg - Edit
Lovely food, and very helpful, but staff a bit confused on their own ingredients.
Read moreSeparate vegetarian options are listed, and we requested the standard no fish sauce no egg etc. The green curry is listed as including 'egg tofu' which we'd never heard of. The waiter was kind enough enough to show us the tofu packaging which was a weird squeezy tube, with a drawing of a woman holding eggs on, so we assumed it wasn't safe. He left out the tofu and added extra veg instead. However, we had also ordered the crispy tofu which didn't mention it was made with egg tofu, but had a very creamy consistency. When we were back on WiFi we googled it and it was clear that the crispy tofu is made with egg tofu, and that egg tofu does contain egg.
Aside from this confusion the rest of the food was good (smoky aubergine dip) and it's a great concept, training up disadvantaged children with working skills. Just not great for vegans.
Pros: Does social good, Some vegan dishes
Cons: Mislabelling, Tofu contains egg

fresh and tasty - Edit
These guys understood the 'no fish sauce' request which can be a challenge in Laos. Very nice meal tapas style
