Ate dinner here three times in our six days in Luang Prabang - entranced by the post-sunset light over the river confluence and the bamboo bridge. Pretty setting, good food, good service. Would have returned another time, but we arrived a little late for food....It’s better to get there earlier!More
Dear Richard, thank you so much for writing this review, it means a lot to us! How great to hear that you enjoyed it so much that you returned several times! We could not agree more: The views are fantastic, and especially at sunset hours....More
January TripAdvisor reviews were negative so wanted to update. We booked at lunchtime for eve meal as looked lovely. Later put off by TA reviews but more recent Google much better so we went. Superb! Fried spring rolls starter probably best of 4 weeks tour...of Indochina. Pad Thai Prawn and Tom Yum Chicken delicious. Service first class. Bamboo bridge sadly gone for 2 years to allow boats through to work on reinforcing river banks, but ferry replaces. Lunchtime great views but eve nice atmosphere too. Menu has mostly Lao food lunchtime and western food eve, but no problem to order off lunch menu for eve, which we did. Looks like restaurant now fully recovered post-covid to former glories, strong recommendation to support them through absence of bamboo bridge.More
Sabaidee Stuart, Thank you so much for taking the time to put your experience into words, this means so much to us and it will be helpful for other guests for sure as well! We cannot hide the fact that we've had some bad reviews...More
During my previous visit to Luang Prabang in 2017, this place was heaven on earth. I recently went back a few and was very disappointed. The view is of course still spectacular, but quality of food and service aren't what they used to be... One...time I ordered the spring rolls' , and got them not fried .... a heap of sticky blubber... When I showed my surprise to the waiter he said -all uninterested- that I should have asked for FRIED .... Another time I ordered one cocktail and got charged for a 'jar of cocktail'. Only after checking my bill and complaining it got corrected.... Another time I ordered a green curry with chicken and it got served without rice... Only after complaining they brought (6 min's later) the boiled rice... Which then also got charged separately ... And there were a few other unpleasant little things like this ..... Conclusion : I regret how a wonderful place like this gets scr*wed up by uninterested staff. I'll never go back again.More
Sabaidee Rudy, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this detailed review and we are extremely sorry about your negative experiences in the recent time. As a returning visitor to Luang Prabang, you were for sure aware of the impact that the...More
Lovely location right on the water. Staff spent a lot of time sweeping up the constantly falling tamarind leaves. Good food, attentive staff.
Sabaidee, thank you so much for your kind review, this means a lot! We hope to welcome you back soon, kind regards, Viewpoint Restaurant
Had dinner in this restaurant after visiting the bamboo bridge below. Order 3 items. Papaya salad is very spicy and taste weird. Lao beef steak is very chewy and hard to eat. Sausage is the only one edible. But the Laos coffee is good. The...view is very nice. After that, me and my wife get stomach ache and diarea.More
2 h to get food. Then i got stomach sick. Very rude staff also. Never go back. Positive was the view and company. Never going back here
Beautiful spot, magnificent views , the best in Luang Prabang, where the Mekong and NamKhan rivers meet. The staff are incredibly friendly too.
Superb spot, our go-to place for lunches and the odd ad-hoc cold beer during our stay in LP. Good food and great service.
The restaurants biggest asset is the stunning view of the river confluence. The food was good, with a basic selection of Lao and western food. Their version of som tam was judged to be good.
This is the restaurant we had breakfast at every morning since we were staying at the Riverview. The food was excellent, and you can't beat that view. It was a nice place to stop after touring to have a beer. We ate dinner there the...first night, and we enjoyed it very much. The service was great. Highly recommend.More
Dear Kelsey1976, We loved reading your review, thank you so much. Yes, watching over the confluence of the two rivers while having breakfast is so special, isn't it! We hope we can welcome you back in the not so far future when things go back...More
On the southend of town. Very nice for breakfast and for a good salad. Good sweet service and friendly.More

Our last night of a relaxing week in Luang Prabang and we chose the Viewpoint Restaurant and we are so glad we did. The location is spectacular overlooking the junction of the two rivers and a bamboo bridge, we came early enough to enjoy the...sunset and the river life below. Staff were professional and friendly and the whole restaurant had a more “upmarket” feel to it compared to others, cloth napkins, comfortable seating with cushions, sparkling glassware etc Started our evening with cocktails and a plate of spring rolls, followed by yellow chicken curry and chicken on bamboo, absolutely delicious. We wandered back to our hotel after a lovely evening at the Viewpoint Restaurant.More
Dear NswAustraliaDidi, We are delighted to read your review! It makes us so happy to hear that you spent such a splendid night with beautiful views and a delicious dinner at our Viewpoint Restaurant. Thank you for choosing our Restaurant for your last evening in...More
We asked prior to sitting down if they take visa and the staff said yes, did not mention to us that there was a minimum. We ordered a Laos beer and mango and sticky rice. The mango is sticky rice is pretty flavorless, lacking in...coconut flavor or really any flavor. I have had way better even in the USA. When we asked for the bill they said there was a minimum and refused to take our card. At any rate we had to exchange some $ at a much lower rate than we can exchanged outside. View is nice. I stayed at this hotel (Mekong River view) 5 years ago and don’t remember the service being so bad. I think it must have gone downhill in service. We won’t be coming back for sure.More
Dear blueivory, We can not apologize enough for your bad experience. It was clearly our mistake to hold back the information about the minimum amount of 100'000 LAK for payment with visa card and we can assure you that this was not out of a...More
I'm a running an hotel here and just joined friends for a coffee at my lunch break. The stunning view being one of the best in town. The expresso arrived spilled, on a saucer that didn't fit the cup. No glass of water and it...tasted like a small americano... For the price of 25.000kip, wich is one of the highest price for a coffee in town... A town filled with excellent coffee places in a country that produces excellent beans. Upon trying to explain it to the manager, I had almost no reaction nor excuses or attempt to repair the problem. I'm not the type of person to complain much but my disappointment today here had to be shared.More
Hi Charles, Thank you for coming by at our Viewpoint Restaurant with your friends. We are so sorry to hear that your visit was not satisfactory and would like to apologize for this incident. While we work hard to provide the best service, it can...More
I went there on late afternoon for a drink, nice weather and good lighting. The second bamboo bridge so I can see the view above the river too. Good spot for chilling :)
