Dine in allowed again? Saw this from sofitel.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Great advertisement.
If dine-in not possible the 20th, simple event cancellation, no harm done.

Is it that good? Worthy of being that pricey?
Anyone eaten at the Sofitel?

For the cost of one person at this event, I’ve fed a group of hungry Khmer at BBQ 168 for less than that.

I seriously want to know.

I was at a few events like this in Sofitel (Jakarta, Bali), and it's totally worth it, also for the atmosphere and the people.
"Unique experience"for 60$,so why not once in a while ?
Plus, French cook in big French place abroad, rarely a bad choice ^^

$60 is a lot compared to street food but it’s far from insane for 7 courses. Ima save up my trademark lefty righteous indignation for when I see the $300 menu.

Given the Sofitel charges $230+ per night for their basic room, $60 for 7 courses sounds like a bargain.

I bet the booze prices will be outrageous.

Event has been deleted now in any case. Alcohol ban must be hurting so many in the F&B trade.
