L'Elephant Restaurant

Luang Prabang


L'Elephant serves some of the most sophisticated cuisine in the city in a renovated villa with wooden floors, stucco pillars, stencilled ochre walls and bags of atmosphere. The Menu du Chasseur (265,000K) includes terrines, soups, duck breast and other Gallic specialities. The buffalo-steak tartare is amazing.
