Most upmarket restaurant in town for sure. With matching prices, but in European terms it’s still great value for money. Large tasting menu was around 15USD per person I think, beautifully presented and very tasty. The next most expensive restaurant in town would be around 7USD for main dish I think. The views are great, too, rice fields on one... More

We were four ladies wanting a light evening meal after our cocktails. The waiter suggested two Shan Discovery taster menus each at 14,000 kyats. This consisted of a range of starters, a further range of small main courses with rice and finally dessert. More rice is offered. Food was tasty and varied. Service was slow initially but we had all... More

Prices are expensive by Myanmese standards (and beer cost like 2-3 times the usual?) Spent about 8,000kyats (US$10). Wifi was slow, but decent and reliable. Probably the best in the whole of Nyaungshwe. More

Burmese food tends to be disappointing compared that that of its neighbors, but not here. This restaurant (Sister establishment of Le Planteur in Yangon) serves delicious local food. There are several tasting menus, which is the best option to navigate unknown dishes. The dishes (several per course) are served in wooden boats. Good wine list with a large selection of... More

This restaurant is very near to the public jetty. We only ate here for dinner. I have never had such small chicken satay - they were about 2 inches long!!! The rest of our meal was fine and the price reasonable. More

Food and service was amazing. Butterfish served in the leaf was delicious. The view is fantastic and we never felt rushed. Expensive but recommended for a relax and a treat. More

We had a lovely Christmas eve dinner here which was expensive for Myanmar (US $ 50,00, excluding drinks) but so glad we did! The food was excellent and about half way through the dinner we had a youth choir coming in and singing Christmas carols. later that evening there were dancers and music. It was a five course dinner, all... More

Who would of thought that in such a small town you would have such a great restaurant? Service was impeccable, convincing us to take set menu which was a true Burmese feast at 14000 Khats each. Food came on great wooden boats, including fish, meat, asparagus, pumpkin and a whole range of other delights. Lovely view over canal too. More

The viewpoint was very good. We especially liked the tapas style menu. The quality of the food was excellent as was the staff. Yes it's pricey for Maynmar but worth it for the qualtiy. The settivng is also lovely with a great view of the river. Service was impeccable. More
