Cambodia
This restaurant is very good. The frenetic pace of Phnom Penh’s roads can be left behind. With a style that is clean and modern, The Shop wouldn’t be out of place in any smart urban setting. There is a great Mediterranean menu offering frittatas, quiche, and delicious sandwiches. It also has a wonderful selection of fruit tarts, fresh breads and croissants.

Drinking, music, good times in a relaxed (and usually trouble free) environment. Try to ignore the old men with the obviously under age girls and you should have a good evening of drinking and dancing.
As with everything ask a local.
The Boddhi Tree is a stylish, cosy guesthouse located opposite the Tuol Sleng genocide museum. Despite the location, it is a haven of peace with friendly staff and great food. The menu is unbeatable in Phnom Penh - breakfast, lunch and dinner are cooked fresh from local ingredients, all with a healthy, wholefood twist.
The rooms are all good value, and individually designed. Well worth the prices.
The small atmospheric terrace garden is good in the evenings for a drink or two.
Opposite the Tuol Sleng genocide museum
Cool bar in a developing street scene. Airconditioned and with a great lady to run it - pool table and happy staff. Drinks are varied and reasonably priced. Open from 4.00 till 2.00am [or later if the customers want to keep on].
#82, Street 108 Phnom Penh - just round the corner from Street 51
