Where and What to Eat in Phnom Penh

In Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, there are countless good restaurants to satisfy all tastes and budgets. Many of them have unique designs and fascinating decor.

And that’s just a sampling...

The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Cambodia

usually known as “the FCC” or just “the F”, The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Cambodia is at 363 Sisowath Quay, near the Royal Palace and Wat Phom. This beautiful restaurant has been open for 15 years and has become a Phnom Penh landmark. The building is a stunning French colonial villa overlooking the Tonle Sap (or Great Lake).

Friends Restaurant

Friends restaurant is at 215, Street 13, near the National Museum. It is far more than a plain Cambodian restaurant; it’s part of an organization called Mith Samlanh (Friends) which trains former street children in the hospitality industry. All the staff working there were previously homeless kids. This fact alone makes the place a must visit, but Friends has also made name for itself as a place with great food at very reasonable prices.

What to Eat in Cambodia

The beauty of Cambodia goes far beyond the famous Angkor Wat ruins or the charm of the Khmer people’s simple life style. The country’s food culture is also not to be missed. In the Khmer diet, rice and freshwater fish play big roles because of the abundance of both. Cambodia has two main sources of natural fresh water, the Mekong river and the Tonle Sap, a huge lake connected to the Mekong. In the monsoon season, The Tonle Sap floods some 16,000 square kilometres of the country, irrigating rice fields and providing breeding grounds for fish. Read More...
