Where to Eat in Phnom Penh: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Budget-minded travelers will appreciate Phnom Penh's reasonably priced hotel rooms (several top-rated hotels on TripAdvisor offer rooms around $40/night). Explore the city's temples, palaces, and the remnants of its French colonial history. Just outside the city, the The Killing Fields (Choeung Ek) are a reminder of Cambodia's tragic past-- a somber contrast to the booming city of today.

Enjoyed a lovely “surprise” tasting menu as suggested by the chef and we were not disappointed in any way. Each course was amazing with some very interesting combinations that only a top chef would put together knowing the flavours would complement each other.
High quality wines and top class service from Sauron made this experience first rate.
Would highly recommend a meal here if given the opportunity.
2. Khema Pasteur
Overall Ratings

Conveniently located, Khema is a unique hospitality concept combining a take-out gourmet deli and dine-in Bistro-cafe, it features carefully selected imported charcuterie and cheeses, our master chef pastries, breads, designer soups, salads and classic French dishes. The rhythm of the cafe moves seamlessly from breakfast to lunch followed by an afternoon of gelati, pastry and coffee before its evening transformation into a wine and oyster bar. With an inherent social atmosphere, and an abundant selection of delicacies to suit all tastes, we also boast an extensive wine list, which naturally features highlights from French's finest vineyards.

We went to Khema Pasteur to celebrate a special evening. The reservation was easily done online. We had gravlax with champagne. Both were very correct! Had coq-au-vin (can you imagine that) and plain steak n frites. Both were well executed. One could imagine one is in a bistro in France rather than in tropical Phom Penh! The highlight of the evening is however not Teh food. The service is impeccable. We had a quiet table with rose petals scattered on the table cloth. We enjoyed a very professional service yet personal and warm hospitality. The kitchen made a special dessert treat for our anniversary. We would be back!

Was looking for a nice, classy place for date night and found what we were looking for. Good sized servings, good selection of wine, attentive staff. A french guy (the manager I think) was there to explain the dinner set menu which we got. Highly recommended the beef, but the duck confit was a bit dry and overcooked (which is surprising as it's supposed to be confit, which is really juicy and moist). Otherwise happy. The appetizers were spot on and we were give cheese for the dessert option.

The reviews on TA are accurate. This lovely cafe is spotlessly clean, comfortable, well run with delicious food and the best service I've had in 4 months travel in SEA. Besides the great food, know that you're purchase (and interaction) is making a difference in these inspiring young trainees and their future as they learn new skills to improve their lives. Truly a Win-Win situation for everyone. Btw- the banana bread is addicting.

The home of healthy food in Cambodia. Backyard is a healthy cafe serving vibrant, nutritious, fresh food and drinks with vegan, vegetarian, raw and gluten free options. We also sell wholefoods and offer juice cleanses

Amazing to get a raw, vegan meal. Roasted red pepper and veggie Sandwich was amazingly flavorful. The zucchini pasta salad came in a massive portion and was delicious. It could easily be split between two people. We got a bagel with avacado and cashew cream, which was fantastic as well. Great atmosphere, staff, and food. Prices are about what you'd pay for Western food at another restaurant. Around 6 to 8 dollars for mains.
7. La Provence

The bar & restaurant La Provence, located in the center of Phnom Penh, welcomes you in an atmosphere typical of the South of France. Enjoy your meal
Reviewed By Sylvia L - Victoria, Canada
My husband and I were looking for something other than Asian food, as we have been travelling for two months and needed some good western fare. La Provence had been recommended online, so we thought it was a good shot and close to our hotel. We were there for lunch and the Owner personally went over all the dishes offered. We chose the beef tenderloin and the chicken. Both were amazing, especially the sauces. Plus, my husband's glass of house wine was good and delivered at the correct temperature. The service was friendly and prompt. I would definitely go back if we weren't leaving tomorrow. Highly recommended!

Reviewed By Harkish - Bangkok
This place is lovely, a complete surprise. I was staying at the Patio Hotel - also great, low cost option - and needed a bite to eat. They recommended going around the corner. And sure enough, down this little lane, hardly wide enough for a bike, there was a French bistro. Set up by two young French guys who wanted to open a restaurant, they serve a variety of great options. Well worth finding, even if it takes some looking. And try the speakeasy next door, hidden behind the Coke machine. Great for an after dinner drink.

This place was recommended by a few people in Phnom Penh, myself and some friends finally made it to this French restaurant packed with French customers. The sweet potato fries were tasty. There was only one staff working the floor thus the service was slow. The burger was ok, nothing special.

Reviewed By JamesKateley - Phnom Penh, Cambodia
After hearing rave reviews online and off, I decided to visit this restaurant myself last night. I was not disappointed. The restaurant is set on an open air balcony that was reminiscent of a Mediterranean bistro. The set menu was great value - three courses for $15 with plenty of fresh bread. Food was exquisite and the tagines melted in the mouth. The owner personally came out to regularly check we were satisfied and even offered me more beef at no extra charge!
I am not one that is usually pleased but I was absolutely delighted with this place and will certainly return. A big thank you to the owner and staff who looked after us so well!
