From Hanuman:

The Tamarind is one of the best restaurants in Luang Prabang for traditional Lao fare. Sample a range of authentic recipes or try one of their banquet nights when you can feast on a whole baked river fish. Sign up for a cooking class to take a little piece of Laos home with you. Ask your friends around for a Lao meal and you can ambush them with your holiday snaps at the same time.
