Maison Sam San — Restaurant in Luang Prabang

My friend while she was looking place for Laotian dessert then she found it. We had short but really enjoyable time here. They have set dessert with madeleine, macaron and Laotian dessert (1 piece for each one). We just wanted to try Laotian ones so we order seperated not by set. Btw, besides dessert, they serve with cocktail, mocktail also. Mine is red dragon kombucha, a bit strong sour taste but very refreshing. My friend ordered tamarind cocktail. Laotian cakes are a bit creamy. Our favourite is pandan one, easy to eat. Just few reviews here so I want give comments so that many people get to know this place. Nice cosy vibe with elegant decorated interior. They provide many interesting books for you to know about this landlocked country. The best spot here is rooftop view directly to main street of old town. You can see old roofs of others houses, sunset or night market in twilight time. We arrived nearly at noon so very sunny, but its fine for the view. Will return next time for sunset hours with more comfortable air and try cocktail as well. Can see the owner’s passion of spreading out Laos culture for foreigners. Btw, one big plus is they served us with wet paper towels. What we can expect more at noon? 😍🥰😛 They also have corner to introduce about art of tea or sell premium...

After drinking coffee basically every single day and needed a break and was in the mood for some tea, looking at the menu I saw they have pandan tea, once I tried it it is definitely my go to. They also had on the menu a 4 tea sampler which I was intrigue by, so that is what I tried. 2 of the tea I have had before white and green, but the other red and maocha sheng I have not. With the tea comes informative information about what region it came from and also how it’s processed, by hand or machine. As u sip on the tea, you are also given a note book, with a poem, for u to jot down what tea means to you. If u have time I suggest...

Staff are incredible, so is the attention to detail. The rooftop terrace at night is amazing and a highlight of our time in Luang Prabang.

The tea is amazing and so are all the different drinks on offer and it’s all very well priced. The staff recommended a lemon meringue tart and it was so damn good. I had a lap dessert (that I sadly can’t remember the name of) with coconut milk and sugar and something along the lines of barley I think? I know it sounds odd but it’s so damn good.

Come here, enjoy the food,...
