"Wow wow wow! Bamboo Garden has excellent authentic food with superb service. We had vegetable curry, stir fry morning glory & shrimp rice. All dishes were superb in taste & flavour. Our favourite food spot in Luang Prabang.
Heavily recommend!"
Michael Needle
"The taste of the food is just okay. The restaurant is clean and the food is plentiful. It is known as a local restaurant with a long queue, but it is hard to find anything special about it. You have to wait in a queue during meal times especially, but it is not a restaurant worth waiting for so much."
Jihee Lee
"Not closed! We've gone there three times in three nights. Nice place owned by a lovely family. Wide menu. Good fried rice and lots of other choices. Good prices.
Closes for a while in the afternoon, so perhaps that lead to the incorrect assumption that it is closed."

Must-Try Restaurants in Luang Prabang
Bamboo Garden was the first restaurant we visited, and it did give us a very good initial impression of the food in Luang Prabang. This small restaurant is owned and managed by a couple, with the husband responsible for front of house and the wife in charge of the kitchen. The husband could speak English and he gave us some good recommendations.
Luang Prabang: Places to eat 1/2
Like most other restaurant the Garden Restaurant, located on the left side coming from the night market, has a few tables on the front perch, while more tables are inside and in the back garden. For people watching it is a good psot, but I thought the food was mediocore. The curry was too watery, more like a soup.
