Did it close down? I ate at one on the river last time I was in Kampot, maybe 2020.

Yeah that was the "rusty boathouse" ran by the ex of the original rusty owner and her jockey. Rusty2, mentioned above, predated and outlasted rusty boathouse

But wasn't the original one on the Riverside way back?

Really? I remember it as being in the corner next to Green Boat Bar, just at the beginning of the old market. Used to be famous for their ribs, but didnt have cambodia draft so I was never a customer.

Maybe it had previous locations as well though. I'm fairly new in town with shit for memory lol

It did have original spot near where Oh Neils is. There was then a place called Jasmine restaurant on the corner where rusty would later be - with a place called the green man next door where Green Boat is nowadays and Alaska KTV where fishmarket is now and a shuttered old market area with no business at all

Not quite right. The rusty keyhole on the corner was previously coco house. Jasmine was a few doors along.

Haven't eaten at this new location but fairly rough fare at her old spot further down the same street

Salt and oil and not much else
Yes, the place looked pretty rough from the outside, but she got some good reviews. Still in search of a real Schnitzel in PP.

It is a good schnitzel usually and Bavarian in size - I mean massive.

The original on the river has been shut now for at least 7-8 years. Time flies!

Probably, it was actually on the river. I was at another one way back that was on the street along the river.
