French restaurant, Chez Gaston on St 178 comes down with Covid

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

When did it move from the St 15 location, and was he the guy that took it over from the original owner?

Yes, that's him. He moved to the new place back in February.

RIP

I had dinner at the old location in Jan 2020, last time I was over (I was something of a regular at the old place a few years back). Met him for the first time - he was a very good host, as was the original owner.

very sad. He was a friendly and gregarious guy and always made you feel welcome in his place. He certainly looked the part. He always reminded me of Asterix' sidekick Obelix. I was sure tha the was Gatone himself. What a character!
He ran a great place. Best fries in Cambodia and you could wash them down with excellent Belgian beer. He will certainly be missed.

I liked the food. He was an anti vaxxer though.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
