Cambodian restaurants in Northwestern Cambodia

  1. A

    Community Villa

    Run by a Cambodian NGO that gives job skills to at-risk young people, this place, just off St 2, serves Khmer dishes, including ginger fish; Western meals, including salads; and the best pancakes and tukalok drinks in town. Most Cambodian restaurants have geckos that eat insects; this one has fearless frogs, so watch where you step at night.

  3. Mlop Dong Restaurant

    This timber-shed eatery serves up the standard Khmer favourites, including fried veggies. Mornings are atmospheric as locals drop by for a quick noodle soup, while after dinner this is about the closest thing Tbeng Meanchey has to a pub.

    Psar Nat

    Cheap dining is available in and around Psar Nat (eg in the space between the two market buildings), but be aware that some places specialise in what can only be described as 'unusable bits' soup. Psar Nat has oodles of food stalls.
