We went to this place for the Burmese dishes but were surprised be the (free) excellent, freshly baked French bread. They also have Mandalay Ale, one of Burma's nicest brews.

We tried a number of the restaurants in the village area just outside old Bagan, including those recommended in two guide books. Star Beans was recommended by our horse cart driver and we have ended up having three wonderful meals there. My boys stuck to the pasta, which was good, but my wife and I explored the menu and had...

We stayed 4 days in Bagan, so we had plenty of time to check out the various eateries. This is by far my favorite, and here's why: (1) After lunch, we asked the chef where we could donate medicine locally to best benefit the local people. He took us to the monastery where doctors operate a 2 day/week free clinic... More

A family owned restaurant, the owner has more of fifteen years of experience working in local hotels. Burmese and French food. Very friendly atmosphere, clean and welcoming. We went back three times during our four days stay in Bagan.

In the city where we can't find nothing up-to-date, the small french restaurant has shown us a very place to dine and to experience. Sitting next to the pagoda, having french as in local style, and cheering up the old and only one waitress (who all the time tried very hard to please every request -- of course with smiles)....

The restaurant is catered for the tourist as it is overpriced for the locals and the menu features western favorites like complimentary (and excellent) french style baguette and chocolate fondant. It's still reasonable value for tourists. Food is tasty, delicious and well presented with beautiful garnishes. Service is great and the chef, who has had 15 years experience in Burmese... More

This is a relatively new place, started by a chef with a lot of experience at other high-end hotels in the region. The food was excellent. Presentation was superb. I highly recommend a visit.
