If Mexican food gets your mouth watering, then there are plenty of options in Phnom Penh, with Mexicano being a stand-out among the pickings.

6. The Sushi Bar

Restaurant, Japanese

There’s no shortage of top-quality Japanese restaurants in the capital, thanks to its large Japanese expat community. If sushi is up your street, then head to The Sushi Bar, a spacious two-storey restaurant with outdoor seating and private rooms. The lengthy menu spans a range of sushi and sashimi options, bento sets, simmering dishes and noodle bowls. Of course, a range of sake is provided. This is a great place to go with a group of friends, order a load of dishes and start sharing.

7. Farm to Table

Cafe, Restaurant, European, Asian

Boasting a lush, leafy courtyard, complete with a tractor, free-range hens running about, friendly kitties and potted plants for sale, Farm to Table resembles a mini-farm in the heart of the city. As the brainchild of the team behind ARTillery, Farm to Table’s aim is to promote organic food and farming within Cambodia, boasting a range of healthy meals. If you fancy some live music to welcome in the weekend, then 6pm on a Friday is the time to go.

8. Terrazza

Restaurant, Italian

Fans of Italian food have plenty to choose from in the Cambodian capital, but Terrazza is our restaurant of choice. This upmarket eatery offers a true taste of Italy, with a menu packed full of dishes using the finest imported Italian ingredients (which are also stocked at the onsite deli). The menu takes diners on a culinary journey through Italy, with antipasto, carpaccio, pizzas, fresh pastas, huge salads, soups, risotto and a range of seafood and meat dishes available.

9. Bistro Langka

Bistro, French, Fusion

Phnom Penh’s dining scene sometimes takes a while to discover, with many of the best restaurants tucked away inside the complex network of small lanes and alleys. Bistro Langka sits on one such lane, off Street 51 between Streets 288 and 294, near Wat Langka. This cute eatery specialises in fine French cuisine sans the price tag, served in an unpretentious setting. The compact menu changes regularly, with a focus on serving fresh food that combines local ingredients with the flavours of France.
