An oasis in the heart of tranquil Luang Prabang, Amantaka is home to two gracious dining venues open to guests and non-residents alike. Discover menus celebrating the rich culinary heritage of this Unesco-protected town and fresh seasonal ingredients sourced from the resort’s own organic farm.
With its lofty ceilings, white and rattan palette and antique tile floors, the Restaurant is a cool, elegant setting for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Serving authentic local and French-influenced cuisine, the Restaurant’s Laotian specialties include fish or vegetables steamed in banana leaves with coriander and coconut milk.
Set between the library and the main swimming pool, the breezy Pool Terrace is a casual alfresco dining venue for lunch and dinner, serving Lao and Western cuisines. Flanked by mature trees just a step from inviting sun loungers, it is also a great spot for cocktails as day turns to dusk.
As inviting by day, when circling fans cut shafts of sunlight, as by night, when candlelight romances the darkness, the Lounge is a convivial space in which to relax. Favourite cocktails are the Makkam, made from tamarind juice, vodka, lime, ginger and lemongrass, and the Laojito, a local version of the mojito infused with basil and lemongrass.
