The Moon

Reliable Nyaung-U restaurant popular with backpackers for Burmese food

The Moon is one of Nyaung-U's most consistently recommended spots for travellers who want to eat well without spending much. The menu covers Burmese curries, noodle dishes, and tofu salad — the Shan tofu salad here is particularly good, made with the soft chickpea-based tofu unique to Shan cuisine rather than the soy variety.

It is a small, simple place on the main street with basic plastic furniture and usually a crowd. Service is unhurried, which suits the Bagan pace. Prices are very low. Open for lunch and dinner.
