Another vote for Gym Club from me.

I had the pan fried fish with ginger and it was lush.

Run by a very friendly Aussie, and it has probably the cleanest bathrooms I’ve seen here!

I seem to remember the menu being reasonably-priced and quite extensive, and they have a small dining area that juts out onto the river, which is perfect if anyone is planning a marriage proposal.

It’d work equally well for a break-up too.

Gym Club

Next to the gym on other side of the river between new bridge and railway tracks. Evenings only but nice cheap expat bar and excellent Khmer food

Yes like I said when they get it right the food is really good just their attitude is up their ass

Personally I would eat the beef like that but probably 80% of their potential customers wouldnt and I suspect they cook it a bit longer nowadays anyway

You like lunch and their lunch specials are really good value - nice layout and venue

Thai Fire:-

Looks more expensive than Lemongrass but a very nice ambience and the serves are big and the Thai/Laos food excellent

Mainly tapas and reasonably priced but not best on your own unless you are hungry

I’ve always been a huge fan of the food at Bokor mountain lodge, if you haven’t eaten there before give it a try, open all day.


There are so many places in Kampot now, I wonder how any of them make a living, let alone a profit!
Sorry but that is the most inept run eating places on the planet.

Always advertise interesting specials on the board but dont have any - three times I tried

Last time 4 of us went and after one of us had eaten some garlic bread and 40 mins after placing our orders we got told that a dish with chorizo in it was now not available cos they had no chorizo and pepperoni didnt work apparently. Then there was no beef / pork or chicken left because the meat hadnt come from PP. The 2 girls ordered the crab and were then told there was only one dish left but they could share it and buy some extra rice.

Never again .... too many better choices that I will list later
Sorry to hear that, has always been my go to place whenever in Kampot, never had a bad meal or bad service there, even after Eric sold it to Andy.

You mentioned you haven’t been in Kampot long, and I haven’t been for about 6 mths, so maybe things have changed, however I will give them the benefit of the doubt and return for a meal on my next trip down.

I went about 3x over a year so I did give them a chance

Twenty Three

Been here mainly to eat the 'Sea Bass' which I suspect is Barramundi but whatever it is usually pretty good although the last time I think it was a little bit past fresh. Nice menu and good staff

Left for last in this installment but is my current goto restaurant as I think David the chef is fantastic. Fine Dining apparently but the prices are very reasonable.
