Description: Amok does great, reasonably-priced Thai and Khmer food in a pleasant open air setting on a quiet street. Menu is comprehensive, and vegetarians are well catered for. The Khmer curries are excellent. Often Khmer musicians are there playing traditional instruments while you eat – but not in an intrusive way.

Type of Food: Khmer / Thai

At a glance and on a quiet day this French restaurant looks to be a little lacking in what it is called, but it really grows on you and draws a regular crowd of expats and tourists alike. The food is excellent, as are their desserts -- particularly their white/dark chocolate mousse. Not quite as expensive as Topaz, this is still one of the pricier restaurants in town.

Boat Noodle offers good Thai food, though it is seriously de-chilified, so be sure to ask if you like it spicy. The fresh spring rolls are a favourite. Particularly popular in the evening, they offer cheap drinks and prompt service. A pretty standard Khmer menu is also available.

This pleasant, hidden away eatery is set in a garden terrace and has a laid-back but stylish French feel. The steaks offer good value, pizzas are scrummy and their salad Nicoise superb. The ice-cream desserts alone make the trip worth it. You can expect professional, warm service. They also have a great little bakery inside, with good croissants, and rillettes which get good reviews from our French pals.

When you're at Elsewhere you really don't want to be elsewhere. Intimate garden restaurant and bar, with a small pool at its centre. The gardens really are lovely and the service impeccable. Comprehensive drinks and cocktails list priced a little on the high side, but the exceedingly pleasant setting justifies it. Shame about the boisterous Khmer music bar/restaurant across the road. The availability of menu items, as well as their quality, is inconsistent and can be disappointing. Best to eat elsewhere and then head to Elsewhere for after dinner drinks.

This popular tapas restaurant employs and trains former street children. The food is healthy and varied, the drinks good and prices slightly upmarket but not beyond most backpackers' reach. The fun, colourful atmosphere and amiable staff make this spot worth going out of your way for. It's very close to the National Museum, so you could tie in a visit there to a refreshing break here.

A green oasis in a dusty city, this place is popular with expats and travellers. The menu will satisfy both carnivores and herbivores, and their yoghurt is the best in Cambodia. The atmosphere is casual and subdued, and the staff is friendly. We highly recommend their great quiches, healthy salads, and spinach cream enchiladas though in our opinion their burgers are mediocre (others swear by them). Most of the plants are for sale.

This is generally the first Khmer place to be recommended to newcomers, hence the touristy feel to the place. They claim authentic Khmer cuisine -- yet their exhaustive menu skips market gruel. Upstairs is cushions on the floor for soft western bums. Service can be a little indifferent, but if you're wary of street meat, it's a safe place to sample Khmer cuisine.

If you can get past the apricot-fanned napkins in the wine glasses, which is a bit 80s, the pizzas here are very good -- particularly with aubergine -- and are cooked with a flourish in a wood-fired pizza forming the restaurant's focal point. The staff are attentive and the friendly hosts drift between tables making sure everything is up to scratch. You can expect reasonable prices for something trying to be a bit more upmarket than the nondescript pizza joints on the riverside. Specialising in French, Italian and Sicilian dishes, the latter two seem to be what this place is about, with their osso bucco special sounding tempting. Be wary of their Calzones –- they include a raw egg along with the insides of your choice. It's a great lunch spot if you're shopping at Ambre/Elsewhere.

Service is prompt and friendly. There is also an attached store selling everything from organza curtains to jewellery, made by women trained by NYEMO, the NGO that also runs the restaurant.

This upper scale Khmer restaurant has a beautiful setting, complete with ponds and colored rocks. Upstairs has air-con and the most stylish bathrooms in Phnom Penh. If you sit outside, best to choose the couches near the bar. The Tiger draft is easily the best deal on the drink menu at just $1.50 for 16oz. The food is fine, but nothing to rave about. Try this place for a pre-night on the town drink – then head somewhere else for supper.

Pasteur Rd, opposite Wat Lanka - Phnom Penh
This open-air Khmer restaurant offers excellent value Khmer and Asian BBQ. Tables are sheltered under palm frond roofs and there are a few flasher kiosk-style sets near the road. Service tries very hard and some staff speak quite good English. Prices are very reasonable, with the surprisingly good BBQ steak going for a rock-bottom $1.50 and the pepper crab for $3. An English menu is available. Overall very good value in a handy central location.

This little hole-in-the-wall French and Khmer restaurant is simply outstanding. Rock bottom prices for top French food that you'll pay ten times the amount for in the fancier digs in town. Excellent staff, though not all speak English -- French speakers will feel right at home. The food is perfect, even more so when the price is taken into account. If you're struggling to satisfy a craving for French cusine, try here before any other.
Highly recommended.

With a comfortable outdoor area and a good (while short) Thai menu, Setsara will satisfy that Thai crave you've been trying to quench.

You'll either love it or hate it. Housed in a magnificent building on Sisowath Quay, the FCC open-air terrace is the best place to watch the river in late afternoon (and burn through your budget -- prices are a bit high). Their veranda is excellent with sweeping views over the Tonle Sap river -- on a hot Sunday afternoon, this is a great place to wait for the heat to pass. Watch out though for tourists by the minibus-load showing up for happy hour. Service can be very hit and miss. This spot is worth a look – if just for the view.

Attached to the same-named small hotel, Lyon D'Or does reasonable French food and has a good, not too expensive wine list. Service is prompt and friendly.

Don't be fooled by the tattered banner that marks this restaurant -- located just south of the FCC, Pop Cafe has some of the finest Italian food in Phnom Penh. The restaurant is small and narrow. The small space maintains an open feel with its clean white walls and minimalist decor. Because of its size, a server is never far away, though it can be hard to get a table during the supper rush. Expect to spend $7-$10 a person including a drink -- a bit steep, but worth the price. A bonus is that there is a generator to ensure your dining experience is well lit and thoroughly air-conditioned.

Sa is Khmer for white but it could equally be Khmer for stylish, friendly, tasty and just a touch expensive. This welcome addition to the Phnom Penh food scene in 2005 has a short yet comprehensive menu focussing mainly on French/European food with a dash of Asian. While the tapas servings were a little on the small side, the mains were plenty generous enough and the food was meticulously prepared. It was a quiet night when we visited so we had our own waiter who was very polite yet with a welcoming wit to him. It's not often you hear a Cambodian waiter complimenting you on your choice from the menu. Open-air dining is available on the rooftop but downstairs is air-con and more comfortable with rather special views over to the palace. A minor gripe was that our mains arrived as we finished our tapas -- a longer gap would have been appreciated.
