Koh Lin restaurant.: Excellent amok.

by planxty

The tourist strip along Victory Hill offers just about anything the traveller could want, French, Italian and British cuisine jostle alongside the traditional Khmer fare which everywhere offers. One evening I had a complete hankering for fish amok, a Khmer delicacy. Basically it is pieces of fish served in a brown coconut mild curry sauce. When I say mild, I mean really mild, in fact the word curry is hardly appropriate certainly in the way we apply it in the UK. It is, rather, spiced as opposed to hot and, if cooked well, is totally delicious. In Koh Lin, it was cooked very well indeed.There is nothing particularly special about the place, just another shophouse bar / restaurant in a street full of the same but it is spotlessly clean, airy and the service is good. They do, however, have some paintings on the wall which slightly confused me. They are obviously some sort of parody of the...

Tutti Frutti restaurant.: Italian name, excellent French cuisine.

by planxty

I have mentioned in other tips that most restaurants in Sihanoukville tend to reflect the nationality of the husband / boyfriend of the Khmer lady who actually owns the place. In this respect, I was slightly thrown by the Tutti Frutti, where I first used to stop by for a coffee in the morning. Despite the Italian ice-cream name, the menu was decidedly French and the specials board offered in that language although the inclusion of Liegeois (sp?) chocolate may have hinted at Belgian. I know for a fact the gentleman in question was a French speaker as I rambled about in a conversation one evening in English and my appalling schoolboy French. He seemed to understand, although the fact that I was marginally drunk and he obviously stoned may have assisted.I had spotted galettes on the menu and on the night in question had decided that nothing was going to do but one of those. For those of you...

Green Mood restaurant.: Decent Italian option.

by planxty

On the tourist strip that is Victory Hill, options for international cuisine are plentiful and, should your taste run to Italian one evening, you could do worse than the Green Mood. Like virtually everywhere here it is a mix of guesthouse, bar and restaurant, with the cuisines basically being reflections of the nationality of whatever European is the husband / boyfriend of the Khmer lady who undoubtedly runs the place. This is not a cynical comment, merely a statement of fact. Green Mood is no different.The restaurant / bar area itself is pleasant with the obligatory pool table (in better condition than most locally) and a pleasant raised chillout sitting area. The music tends to reflect the chillout mood. The couple of expat Italians talking loudly in their native tongue to the owner adds to the credentials as a bona fide place as opposed to the generic pizza / pasta culture that is...

Chennai Rotty's: Very fine Indian cuisine

by planxty

In the Victory Beach area of Sihanoukville, there are two Indian restaurants, although I only ate at one of them and found it to be very good. I did also hear good reports of the other as well, to give an unbiased tip. Chennai Rotty's is very much Southern Indian cuisine, unlike the Northern Indian (normally actually Bangladeshi run) cuisine so prevalent in Europe. Dosas (Dosai in the plural?) feature heavily on the menu. Living as I do in an area of London that is predominantly Bangladeshi, I consider myself somewhat of a minor authority on that cuisine, although I am relatively unschooled in the joys of the South. I do, however, know what I like, and I liked the food here.The decor is unremarkable, although that is standard here, although there are a few posters and things, probably put there as much for staff nostalgia as to inspire the diner. Service was prompt and friendly and the...

Gelato Italiano.: Another "feel-good" coffee.

by planxty

I have mentioned on several other tips concerning Lao and Cambodia that it would be just about possible to travel in those countries and, if you kept to the main tourist trail, eat in nothing but establishments associated with charitable organisations. I am all in favour of this, although, again as mentioned elsewhere, I wonder how it affects the other restaurateurs who do not have the inbuilt feelgood factor and are merely trying to make an honest living to feed their families. I try to spread my tourist $$$ around so everyone gets a fair crack of the whip. No doubt these ethical matters are much better debated by people more qualified than me to do so.However, back to the restaurant in question. This particular establishment is run by the Don Bosco organisation which runs a hospitality school in Sihanoukville, aimed at giving disadvantaged youngsters the necessary skills to equip them...

Mick & Craig's Restaurant: Good food, excellent service

by CEP1863

I popped in here after scuba diving and having read the limited review in LP. The restaurant has an extensive menu running from a choice of breakfasts through lunchtime snacks and onto a good selection of evening meal options. I just got a sandwich and fries in here and I found the food to be fresh and fairly priced. The staff were also very friendly. Would recommend.

Indian Curry Pot: Great Curries

by CEP1863

Located in the heart of the backpacker area, the Indian Curry Pot has a large menu with a good selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indian and Pakistani dishes. I found it to be very reasonably priced and they served generous portions. Main courses generally in the $2-4USD price bracket. As a vegetarian, I particularly enjoyed the samosas and the daal.

Bayon Beach Bar & Restaurant: CAMBODIAN FOOD WESTERN DETAILS

by aisafatima

I recommend the restaurant Bayon Beach Bar and Restaurant, which is different to the others for some details: insulating container for very cold drinks, frozen mugs, you are offered rice or garlic bread, good fans for air, draught beer, easy menu, good prices, very efficient and quick service but don’t smile very much (maybe because we are the only one). A good place for a drink in the evening. Food is prepared with care and has good ingredients. Noodle soup is the best I’ve tasted in Cambodia. The restaurant is made like a balcony with local materials. It is 2 minutes walk to the beach. It is at the same place of Sokun Travel & Tours I liked a dish which is a BBQ seafood. It's not a huge dish to share, but every piece of food is delicious great quality of fish, squid and big prawn. It is accompanied of good salad and a small bowl of delicious sauce

Moon Shack: Best BBQ

by traceyspacey

Set on Serendipity beach, relax in the big comfy chairs with cushions. The food here is amazing and really good value. Generous portions of Barracuda, potato and salad for $2.50. Squid, Beef (you will get asked how you want it), Chicken etc also available. Draft Beer $0.50 from 5-11pm. Really, Really good. Barracuda and steak.

La Paillole: Elegance in French

by anders1975

Great food and a lovely atomsphere. Yes, it's rather expensive compared to the neighbouring restaurants, but worth a try. Here you get a touch of local food prepared in a French cuisine. Tables in a garden with a roof. Professional staff and can compare with elegant US/European style restaurants. It's none like this one in Sihanoukville. We celebrated a birthday here and ended up paying some $50 for two persons for a starter and main course including wine, gin&tonic and beers. Great price for the quality. The lamb and crabs are good. So was the spinach salat for starter
