Gastronomic Laotian flavors and seasonally sourced farm-to-table ingredients, all in peaceful and mystical surrounds, define Rosewood Luang Prabang’s unique culinary identity.
With a carefully curated food and beverage program that truly supports the local community and immerses guests in the wonderful array of local flavors, the ultra-luxurious resort is destined to become a desirable destination for the most intrepid of palates.
Rosewood Luang Prabang delves deeper into the lesser-known intricacies of the rich Laotian food culture with a culinary program that places utmost importance on locally sourced and seasonal foods. Many of the ingredients presented are sustainably sourced from nearby farms, as well as the property’s own verdant and organic garden. Comprising fresh ingredients including herbs, salad greens, vegetables as well as fish and meat, the produce presented at Rosewood Luang Prabang is all about exploring Laos’ bounty.
“We want to truly showcase the history behind Laos’ gastronomic culture, as well as how amazing the produce is here,” says Elias Pertoft, managing director of Rosewood Luang Prabang. “Many people do not realize that many familiar flavors found in other food cultures – such as that of Thailand’s – were actually created in Laos. We want to be able to pay homage to the smorgasbord of amazing flavors found in this country through our resort.”
