Our Concept
Owned by the same family as the successful Tamnak Lao restaurant in Vientiane. Tamnak Lao means "The Residence" because this restaurant is located in one of the original French-style homes built in Vientiane.
As tourism increased in Luang Prabang during the period 1996 to 1998, many tourists requested a good, authentic Lao restaurant, as they didn’t want to eat at the little food stalls dotted about town.
So Tamnak Lao 2 was born in Luang Prabang.
The light fittings and carvings on the restaurant walls depict the old Royal Logo of three elephants. It soon became clear that tourists had difficulty in remembering the name Tamnak Lao, so it is also known as "Three Elephants Café".
The name Tamnak Lao was also retained because the Lao and Thai diners remember this name.
The restaurant's quality assurance policy is to serve authentic Lao food at reasonable prices, to maintain an extremely clean environment and to provide excellent service. By strictly maintaining this quality assurance policy, the restaurant has become a very popular dining experience with tourists and the local Lao.
