Dining
Out in Phnom Penh...
Phnom Penh (map) offers an excellent selection of dining venues
ranging from fine French and Khmer dining to American style
bar & grills and budget Chinese noodle shops. But the
emphasis is of course on Khmer (Cambodian) food. Khmer
cuisine shares many similarities with other Southeast Asian
foods and includes dishes such as curries, sates and
fish-based meals, but Khmer cooking tends to be much more
delicately spiced than other local cuisines and is rarely
spicy hot. Chinese food is also very popular and Phnom Penh
sports a goodly number and range of Chinese places from
budget-priced noodle shops like Peking Canteen to
top-end Chinese restaurants such as Xiang Palace at
the InterContinental Phnom Penh Hotel.
Most western cuisines are well-represented in
Phnom Penh - pizzerias, home-cooked British and American
food, contemporary delis and cafés, fine German, Italian and
especially French restaurants. Given Cambodia's long
relationship with France and France's gastronomic
traditions, it is no surprise some of Phnom Penh’s finest
dining venues offer French cuisine.
Many of the restaurants catering to tourists and visitors
are clustered into certain areas of town. Dozens of
restaurants and bars line
the riverfront dining and shopping
area near the Royal Palace.
Street 278 and Boeng Keng Kang 1
is dotted with local and foreign restaurants. Budget
eateries and bars can be found along Street 93 next to the Boeung Kak Lake, an area popular with backpackers. |
