We visited this restaurant for lunch, they have english menu and staff was friendly, is a simple but decent place with nice view of the lake and the village in the lake. The food was good and really cheap. Most of all do not expect...much you are in a restaurant in the middle of inle lake... so just relax and try out decent local food at a tourist friendly restaurantMore

Nice view and pleasant setting but a bit lackluster. My wife had the simple grilled fish #4 which was not supposed to have bones but did. Also, the fish had the skin on whole and was overcooked to the point of being tough. I tried...the Inthar style fish curry #6 but was in no better position...still tough. All in all... along with the flies....a tough day at the EyefulMore

Stopped here as a relief from the tedium of continuing any further into the lake. Such a fortuitous decision. Spent a most relaxing, informative and enjoyable couple of hours entertained by the owner. This established is more than a well located restaurant. There is an...associated guesthouse, a souvenir shop and a cigar making enterprise where cigars are rolled in local chroot leaves. Had a most tasty lunch of Burmese food. Like many enterprises on and associated to the lake, this place survives on tourists and from what I observed, the owner and staff work hard to provide the best service possible in what is becoming a more and more competitive and in the last couple of years, shrinking market. Good luck to them!More

The Eyeful is a cute way of saying great view up the lake! Staff pleasant and a good choice of Burmese food. The cheroot factory attached is interesting, the cheroots are great tastes! And then visit the fishing village next door, different to other stilt...villages on the lake.More

Our guide brought us here for lunch. We sat by a window and enjoyed watching the water traffic passing by. We chose a fish and a chicken dish along with avocado salad and thought each dish was very good given the context of a cheap...and cheerful tourist restaurant.More

Bad Service! Bad Service! Seems all are so incompetent! One of our members ordered two dishes. They cannot even bring it together. One arrived earlier and the other one after we all have eaten. One of our members was not served for a long time...until we were all finished. They said they were busy. DUH! Don’t be in the business if you tell your diners that you are busy. That is what you want, busy but do not make the customer suffer. Their price is not fair either. Go elsewhere.More

A bit touristy, but we were ok as had a late lunch and had an aubergine and a advocado salad which was tasty as was the superb view of boats motoring past. You really do get an eyeful!!

If not for the water front view, this restaurant is not worth visiting. The food is ordinary, service is slow and everything takes took long. I expected my fresh fish from the lake to be good and was disappointed. Some how owing to its location...this place seems to be popular with the tourist.More

I stopped by there for lunch at the Inle Lake. It offers a variety of local and Chinese food. There is a stunning view over the lake. The prices are little high, since this is a touristic place. The staff is really sweet and quick.

Our guide brought us here for lunch. The food was good; however, I can't say that anything was a standout. It was however nice to sit on the upstairs deck where the restaurant's located, sample some of the local cuisine and watch life on the...surrounding waterways. Downstairs you can watch workers rolling cigars and purchase some if you so choose. There was also a selection of local souvenirs for sale. It was a good pitstop for a meal and a bit of shopping.More

This restaurant, besides having good food had a great view of the lake. It was inexpensive and had great service. I had the fish stuffed with vegetables (probably all from lake area) and wife had prawns in curry. We enjoyed the dining experience looking out...on the lake.More

Basically, again we had no choice in the booking of this lunchtime meal. Its in the middle of Inle Lake and you have no where else to go, none of us really enjoyed the food, it was basic and bland. Two of our party never...got their food for over 40 mins, then one of them got the wrong dish, I myself ordered a seafood dish and it had 2 prawns in it and considering it was a prawn based dish, then this was very poor. All in all this was a poorly run place with very bland food, please don't bother.More

We went to this place for lunch. This restaurant is surrounded by Inle Lake and the view is fantastic. We ordered steamed fish lemon, fried marrow leaf, tealeaf salad, fried veggie vermicelli rice noodle and plain rice. Food was very tasty and portion was generous....Waiter was friendly and spoke good English. Food price was reasonable. We also got some sweet potato chip when waiting for our food. Toilet facility was very clean.More
