Restaurant du Crabe d'Or

We absolutely love this restaurant. We stayed at the hotel and also had our little wedding ceremony there. Our “reception dinner” was beautiful and delicious. They even arranged a table for us and our guests by the pool which was stunning. I also loved buffet breakfasts and their cappuccino is my favorite. And needless to say that the staff is simply amazing and some of the nicest people we’ve ever met. We were treated like family and we cannot recommend this place enough 🤗 P.S. The G&Ts are a real steal and they are delicious 😋 so you’re gotta be careful with those - very easy to drink a few too many by the pool 😅

So good! A lovely deck overlooking the river with the most amazing food and great service. If you plan to come for dinner, definitely make reservations. We went several times, and everything we tried was delicious. The larb was amazing, the fish in banana leaves was great, we really liked the pork skewers with lemongrass and even the beef jerky appetizers was good. Happy hour is until 7pm with 50% of all drinks.

We had high expectations of this place, especially when we had rather bad experiences in other restaurants where vegetarian food was offered. This was no difference. We ordered the Traditional Mixed Steamed Vegetables Seasoned with ginger, sesame seeds and chilies. We mentioned that we were happy that it would be seasoned with chilies as we like spicy food. When the food arrived it had no chilies on it and it was completely tasteless. no salt, no pepper, no soja sauce. The waiter mentioned that they didn't know how spicy so they decided instead to cook it without it. So my question is, why do you offer Seasoned veggies with chilies and ginger on the menu if you later decide that it's better not to serve it as described even though we specifically asked for it. We had the tiniest slice of ginger and no chilies. Had to ask for it instead and all I got was a bit of chili powder on top. Maybe next time ask the customer if they are ok with you changing the dish instead of assuming, even though we kindly asked to make it spicy as mentioned on YOUR menu. Please, stop offering things you won't deliver. Once again, no good food here neither and the prices are ridiculously high for low quality food. Not recommended for vegans. Thank you for the kind service though. But the cook needs to improve.

Amazing experience, definitely recommend if you want a lovely dinner in Vang Vieng! This is an edit from my first review. The first time we came there was a miscommunication issue and we thought we didn’t have a table booked outside for us. But we came back the next night after the manager reached out and apologized on behalf of his team. We gave them another opportunity and it was the best decision! We had one of the best dinners we’ve had in Laos, with a beautiful view of the river and the resort. The food was the best quality, we tried the tasting menu, and had a delicious variety of local dishes. The wine and dessert were fantastic as well. The service was also top notch, everyone was really nice and attentive. We had such a lovely experience :) Don’t hesitate to visit next time you are in Vang Vieng, you will be able to try the best local food in a beautiful and romantic ambience!

We were quite hungry after a full day motorbiking across beautiful Vang Vieng exploring caves, vistas, and their amazing landscapes. Restaurant du Crabe d’Or didn’t disappoint. The restaurant is located in a beautifully designed, and traditionally appointed space. The service was stellar - efficient and courteous. We opted for the set traditional meal which features traditional Lao dishes. Ingredients were fresh, the seasoning and sauces were very tasty. There is also a western menu to choose from. I highly recommend dining at Restaurant du Crabe d’Or while visiting Vang Vieng.

We stayed at the hotel and came here for dinner one evening and had some really yummy food in a great setting. Both the western and Lao food were tasty. I liked the pork chop quite a bit, and the larb was great too. The views over the river were great.

We absolutely enjoyed a great dinner with breathtaking scenery and very friendly and alert staff. The food was very delicious - we went for the springrolls and the Lao tasting menu. What a cool way to explore very well prepared traditional Lao dishes! Very recommended for a romantic dinner.

The best restaurant in Vang Vieng, Laos. We had all of our meals here and it didn’t disappoint us. Everything was really good, staff were efficient and courteous, the ambiance was phenomenal, and the menu was massive. We highly recommend this restaurant! 💃🏻
