Finding Utopia.

“Zen by day, Groovy by night.”

I can’t remember if Utopia was in our guidebook or if we just found it by meandering. Regardless, you know a place is going to be good if it requires multiple “secret” pathways to find it.

Our first visit coincided with the zen atmosphere of the place. We walked towards the back and relaxed on a deck overlooking the gardens and Nam Khan. I could have stayed there forever.

Ignore the feet! They are only there to show you some perspective. 

We enjoyed our lunch so much that we returned for dinner later in the evening. By this point, the “groovy” had begun. The once peaceful lounge was now a hoppin’ bar scene. It’s not everyday you find a place that offers such radically different atmospheres, all in the same day!

In addition to being a nice place to hang out, the food is also delicious. You can check out their menu here. This is definitely the place to go if you’re sick of baguettes or typical tourist food. Mike was even offered free fish cakes the kitchen was testing.

I highly recommend Utopia if you find yourself looking for good food and a unique place to hangout while in Luang Prabang.

  6. But the question is, is it truly possible to ever be sick of baguettes? I have never known this to be true, but I suppose I’ll just have to test this hypothesis fully while in Laos!

    Too funny! I actually had that thought while I was writing the sentence. For me, I never get sick of baguettes… but I did get tired of the same veggie baguette sandwich over and over. Tomato, cucumber, lettuce, laughing cow cheese. If you eat meat you will surely never grow tired!
