About
Cafe Toui serves magically simple Lao food, prepared to order by Chef Toui. Because of the super abundance of vegetables from surrounding farms and in our local markets, we can offer many interesting vegetarian choices as well as traditional dishes with fish, pork and duck, etc. All with Toui's amazing flavors. We bend a bit from Lao tradition for special desserts. We serve cocktails, beers and some wine.

I am privileged to be able to travel to Luang Prabang several times a year.
I eat regularly at Cafe Toui and highly recommend to everyone. The chef Toui is happy to try and accomadate dietary requests that may not be on the menu.
The food is delious and the staff and family delightful.
The Homestay rooms are very clean and close to the main centre.
All the staff are students who study well and are learning English.

The food at Cafe Toui is exceptionally good. We came twice for dinner to make sure ! It is not a hurry up place, indeed service might be classed as slow, but this is not a problem with the serving staff, rather it is that each dish is cooked to order by the unseen genius in the kitchen - I suspect a solo effort. Close to the end of the night market, it is nevertheless just off the beaten track. We didn’t make reservations. Outstanding value for great food. Shame that the Ikon Club opposite is shut for now, else it could have made for the perfect evening with a nightcap.

Chef Toui is such a humble chef! A wonderful Family run cafe and Homestay! We stayed here as well and not only enjoyed the delicious breakfast every morning (included with stay) but ate dinner here 3 times! His dishes are unique AND delicious! It is advisable to reserve a table for dinner as the cafe seats around 20 people…don’t be left disappointed!

While the food was delicious I had to wait about 40 minutes to be served my meal. I came in first before a table of 3 yet they received their meals about 15 minutes before me and I had to watch them eat. Come along if you have the time.

I recently dined at this cafe that exceeded my expectations. Despite its simple design, the menu offered a delightful variety of dishes, each more delicious than the last.From appetisers to desserts, every bite was a culinary delight. If you appreciate great food for a little money, this restaurant is a must-visit.

Cafe Toui had a large and varied menu. All the typical local favorite (with great photos and descriptions on the menu). Don't expect any Americanized food options. Everything is local and authentic. Just a tip, the restaurant is located down a small street off the main road and is easy to walk right by. Definitly one of the better meals I've had. Wait staff was attentive. Nice cocktails, too.

Lao cuisine, in its simple and delicious refinement: larb gai (slightly spicy sautéed chicken with herbs (watercress, coriander, spring onions, green beans, etc.)
The ping gai too (chicken skewers on a lemongrass branch with its great sauce)
And a very warm, attentive welcome

Attractive, locally owned, small restaurant that's tucked away at bottom of Wat Phousi. Good Lao menu at reasonable prices, with some innovative variations on the usual dishes. The duck and lychee red curry was excellent. Reasonably priced and highly recommended.

Very disappointed. We’ve just left here after having a very mediocre lunch. Tough beef in oyster sauce, although the chicken coconut curry was ok.
But it was the service that let it down the most. No friendly greeting as we walked in, then the waiter was on his phone all of the time. We had to wave & call every time we needed something. There was only us in the room!
After spending a whole week in L P & three weeks in Thailand this was the worst experience we’ve had.

My wife and I were in LP for 5 weeks in October and November. We ate the majority of our dinners at Cafe Toui. In our opinion the best and most authentic Lao food in LP. Prices are reasonable and service in great. Always the first restaurant he visit when in LP.

We stayed near this restaurant and because the food was so good, we ate here a few time. Lao chef owned and operated. Great Lao cuisine with a wide choice of meals to select from. Highly recommended.

The food here is incredible. Very tasty and authentic. I do not like returning to restaurants when travelling for fear of missing out however the fear here was not being able to get through the menu. You must try it
