Luang Prabang...
I enjoyed a small riverside restaurant along Khem Khong just a few steps northeast of this hot pot/bbq set up. It was one of the less ornate restaurants, where you descend a few steps to a wooden balcony where some plain tables give you a magnificent view of the Mekong. They served solid food, cold cheap (9k big bottle) Beer Lao, and the best mango sticky rice I have ever had (I've spent months in total in Thailand). It's not one the the more polished-looking outfits with nicer tablecloths or awnings, but the people who run it are great.

I did a sunset cruise and highly recommend it. Relaxing and pretty cheap.
