Leckerer veganer Burger

Die veganen Gerichte sind klar ausgeschrieben. Ich habe mich für den Bürger entschieden und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Für Laos ist der Preis natürlich etwas teurer, aber dafür bekommt man hier ein westliches und veganes Gericht. Einziges Manko: Die Soße zu den Pommes bestand aus Öl mit Gewürzen. Ich habe daher nach Ketchup gefragt. War kein Problem. Der Service ist sehr nett.

Pros: Vegane Optionen , Klar gekennzeichnet, Lecker

Cons: Etwas teurer, aber ok

Don’t bother

Ordered the eggplant burger vegan and firstly it arrived with cheese and Mayo on the second time it arrived with Mayo and on the third time it arrived with Mayo in the ketchup

Wasn’t very tasty either and had to wait a long time for food

A few veg options

Nice place beside the Luang Prabang Night market. They have a few veg options to choose from. Flavour is good. The atmosphere is nice as well, besides the main road and they have a lot of seating to choose from. A good place to relax and have a drink or food.

Alright for dinner

I came here twice to have dinner after shopping at the night market, but it was not my favourite restaurant. The food was ok, but could have been a little better. The atmosphere was not that welcoming, too - the staff were not that friendly, and moreover, some of the guests were under the influence of alcohol and were very loud. Of course, that is not the fault of the restaurant, and maybe the attitude of the staff was because of that.
I still liked the interior of the restaurant and that it is quite roomy. The location is very convenient, too.

I‘d still try this place again if I came back to Luang Prabang, because what I experienced might not be the standard situation at Indigo Café.

Pros: Great location, Nice interior

Cons: Intoxicated guests, Somewhat unwelcoming atmosphere

Delicious mojito

Nice little place with vegan options clearly highlighted. I had the spring rolls which were really good, I also had the sweet potato salad which was nice and quite a big portion. My husband had the beet burger which was nice and as above the mojitos were really good

average

I had the raw spring rolls, they were alright.

I was there in the evening and looking out over the night market was at least something unique.

Over priced for what it is

This place was very expensive and over all not worth a return visit.

I had the green matcha frappe with coconut milk, so was a good vegan option for drinks I guess. The fresh spring rolls were ok, but not worth the price.

Also got a greek salad with rye bread. The rye bread was terrible, it was very sweet, like a lot of bread is in the region. I just had one bite and left it. The greek salad was ok, but again not worth the price.

Over all we spent a lot of money here and left hungry.

Pros: understand veg and vegan

Cons: terrible value for the money, terrible sweet rye bread

Lovely beet burger, but not a 100% vegan meal, read review!

The beet burger is honestly incredible: stuffed with veggies on a deliciously soft bun. You get a very small side of very tasty chips as well as an odd, but tasty, slice of cucumber topped with mash potato.

The issue here is with the dipping sauce they serve with the burger. The sauce is a homemade burger sauce which contains a mayonnaise, conformed by staff. So to anyone that visits please remember to ask for no mayonnaise when you order the burger and you'll instead get a small ramiken of ketchup!

Pros: Beet burger is delicious, Chips are crispy

Cons: A bit expensive, Mayonnaise with a clearly labelled vegan meal

Vegan food is a little expensive. No cake or breakfast vegan. Coffee is really good that is why you should go here!

Lovely Khao Soi

Really nice cafe on the Main Street. It’s really nice inside, lovely decor and coffee and a few decent vegan options. The Khao Soi was really good and had lots of tofu in and a big rice cake on the side so it was pretty filling and good value for money in Luang Prabang at 25k kip

The vegan options were stellar! Would have given 5 stars but HappyCow doesn't allow it for restaurants offering non vegan dishes as well.

Pros: Cuisine was way different from the usual stuff

Essen mit Pfiff

Laotisches Essen und Western Food. Ausreichende Auswahl an veganen Optionen. Essen überraschend lecker und raffinierte Geschmacksnoten. Wir sind mehrfach wiedergekommen und waren jedesmal mehr als zufrieden.

If they would concentrate on vegetarian food it would be 5 stars.

Pros: Überraschende Gaumenfreuden

Cons: Manche Gerichte nur mit Fleisch verfügbar

Fewer vegan options

As mentioned before the vegan options on the menu are less now. The somewhat mushy beet burger is still available as well as noodles fried and as soup along with some starters/salads. Food is tasty but a bit pricey. Staff is friendly but quite slow and forgetful.

menu changed

Most plates are not in the menu anymore. We had the fresh spring roll (without egg) they are great, the beet root burger (the mayo is on the side in a cup) which was awesome, but the khao soi wasn’t tasty, lack of spices and tasted mostly like tomato sauce with noodles

Pros: fluent staff, good presentation, clean

Cons: expensive, not easy to find the vegan options in the menu

Not really vegan food

The restaurant is in the main street. The staff is really nice and friendly. Food is good. Some items are noted as vegan or vegetarian on the menu. But i think they are very confused about veganism. Mayo in one vegan burger and the other is noted with cheese.
Be carreful, check with them, they are really nice.

So confused

Long story short: they don't know what veganism means and even their dishes specified as 'vegan' aren't all actually vegan.

Went hIere to have dinner and got the menu from the waiter. When I asked him for the vegan options he gave me another menu where the vegan dishes where clearly marked.
I wanted to order the 'Red Beet Burger' but because it wasn't labeled vegan on the first menu I got I asked the waiter to be sure. He said the dish wasn't vegan because the bread has egg in it. I was confused because it says 'vegan'. I asked if all of their bread contained eggs and he confirmed that NONE of their bread was vegan. I pointed out a 'vegan' dish with bruschetta, he said that one was vegan. So confusing. I asked him if he could give me the burger with the bruschetta bread instead. After 10 minutes of discussing (him walking back and forth to the kitchen and calling his manager) he told me it's not possible.

The only dished left to choose from were salads and stirfried vegetables. This you can get in any other place for way better price.

Confused about veganism

We went for the roof terrace view and after seeing a photo of a separate vegan menu on TripAdvisor.

This menu no longer exists, instead a handful of dishes are labelled as vegan - a salad and a mushroom stir-fry on the evening menu, and also a vegan bagel and vegan pizza on the early day menu. When we asked about a vegan menu the waiter pointed at vegetarian and fish based options. We played it safe, tried the vegan bagel but it was served with mayo. There was also a burger they said could be veganised but it came on a brioche bun with mayo on the side.

A bakery out front serves vegan banana bread muffins which are delicious.

Lovely location but a bit pricey and not great options, not a safe bet.

Pros: Great location, great view of night market

Cons: Don't know what vegan means

Excellent

Going by some of the heavily negative vegan reviews here over the past 2 years, I can only guess they've picked up their act a lot. I've been working out of his cafe for several days and have found the vegan options outstanding, and that the staff 'get' what I want vegan-wise. It's super central, has a nice ambience, and friendly staff. As for overpriced, it's US$4-6 a meal, which is inexpensive anywhere, unless you're a super-cheapskate who wants excellent food, service and ambience for the price of skanky street food. Would give 5 stars but Harumph Cow doesn't allow it.

Pros: vegan options
