When one from the Cadillac-girls moved to Croisette i used to come also overthere, i would think in the years 17 or 18. The food and drinks where expensive, but they had some happy-hour-deals, a bit complicated, because it was at different hours, days and drinks. But if you payed good attention you could do a deal. The manager was a Swiss guy who was not really loved with the staff. He was found dead in Queen Wood hotel in his room where he used to live for some time. I taught the owner was a german guy who also had Hops openend around that year. Didnt go for long time even i cross in front almost daily (when i am in PP). But the food loked nice always.

Focusing on restaurants, I'm going to kick things off by mentioning a few that I've come across here, in no particular order. La Croisette (Riverside), Chiang Mai Thai restaurant (Riverside), Samaky (St 278), 4 P's (Quayside), Moonlight Villa (172), Elia Greek (Bassac), Brooklyn Pizza (TTP). How about you guys?

Tricky question.
Almost everything in Kampot feels like a tourist trap.

555 - I was earlier thinking about posting similar sentiments with regard to Kampot.

7/11 is good though, never fucks you over with the prices.

However, I can't agree about 7-11. Sure the prices are fixed, but as it's not locally owned, i rarely go there.

Samaky has .75c ice cold beets and good service
Elia has reasonably priced decent food
4Ps not expensive at all
La Croisette is expensive for what it is, but a nice place to have a coffee and relax for a couple of hours

Sure there are "tourist traps" but not sure I would put these in there (except la croisette)If anything these are frequented by people living here more

i'm amazed at the number of people that sit in a coffee shop for a few hours, using the free wifi & air con and ONLY buying a cup of Coffee.

as one who worked as a server in uni and beyond, those people really piss me off,
Taking up space
