In Luang Prabang, L'Elephant Restaurant is one of the most renowned high end French restaurants in the city. What I liked and the reason I wanted to try L'Elephant Restaurant when I was in Luang Prabang is mainly because they use mostly local Laos ingredients, but French cooking techniques. So I made a reservation. L'Elephant Restaurant - Located in a classic yellow building just a few steps from the Mekong River, L'Elephant Restaurant is a beautiful restaurant. They do have both French food and Lao food on their menu, but I decided to keep the dishes pretty French and the ingredients Laos. Buffalo steak tartare - This was the first dish I for sure was going to order, and I think it’s one of their best dishes. The buffalo was chopped, mixed with egg, pickles, and capers. It was every bit as good as I thought it was going to be. Wild boar terrine - This was something I sort of ordered and didn’t know what it was. A terrine is a kind of meat loaf, sort of like pate but different. This one was seasoned with some cognac as well. It was ok, but not my favorite dish of the meal. Chef salad - The chef salad at L'Elephant Restaurant is amazing, full of their garden grown vegetables. Flemish buffalo carbonade with Beerlao - Seeing that Beerlao was used in this dish, I had to try it out. The stew was excellent, with just a scent of beerlao - I think. Mekong fish stew - Finally the last French food we tried was the Mekong fish stew - nuggets of Mekong fish, in a mustard butter white sauce. The fish melted in your mouth, it was so good. L'Elephant Restaurant is an elegant French food restaurant in Luang Prabang, Laos. I thought the dishes could have been a little bigger, but the taste and quality were both excellent.
