food in cambodia

Discussions about restaurants, cafes, coffee shops or bars in Cambodia. Feel free to write any reviews you have, whether its the best burger you've had in Phnom Penh or the worse pizza in Kampot, we want to read it! Discussions about Khmer dishes are also in here, or you can leave your own. If you own a restaurant, feel free to let the expat community know about it here so that we can come check it out. Found a favorite cafe or have a place we should avoid? Tell us about it. Asian recipes & questions are always welcome.

That flooding don't look good! Why with so many of the new builds, the governor or planning did not insist on the infrastructure being in place. Damage or inconvenience must be high to people, dwellings and business.

Could your friend get compensation for loss of business and flooding on property?

starter trio of lobster, scallop, foie gras

soup lobster bisque with foie gras

entree prawn spaghetti seafood reduction sauce
Image

desert souffle flambe with grand marinier

overall one of the best french cuisine in phnom penh, cant much about the service though
How is the atmosphere there? I don't mind the price tag, but hate places that are stuffy and pretentious. Anyway a twice a year birthday splurge (Me and my significant other) ... Did Plantation, Les St Georges, Armands the last few visits .. this place on the to try list.

Also can get a passable quality bottle of wine there in the $30 to $50 range?

Cheers,

RD

atmosphere is relaxed, not too up tight or pretentious, 30 to 50$ not much, cheapest bottle i saw was 49$ from chile n oz, usually i ordered house wine, cant finish a bottle alone, my old lady is not a drinker
