Black Bamboo Restaurant
Black Bamboo
A garden restaurant run by a French-Burmese couple in a lane beside Nyaung U's restaurant street, known for its fish curry and house-made coconut ice cream.
Tucked into a lane beside the Nyaung U restaurant street on Yarkinthar Road, run by a French woman and her Burmese husband. The lush garden feels like an oasis in the middle of town, and at night it is lit by candles, an atmosphere rarely this refined in Bagan. The menu spans Burmese, Thai and Western dishes. The most praised items are the well-seasoned fish curry, Italian espresso and house-made ice cream, especially the coconut flavour. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available, and the drinks selection is full. Service is friendly but slow, and prices are mid-range for the area.
