La Croisette

Great restaurant with good food and a wide menu selection. Lasagna had great flavour although a little too salty. Service was attentive, friendly, and prompt without being in your face. Just finished brunch and had the same great experience. Eggs benedict were made perfectly, solid white and runny yolks, prosciutto was tender, sauce was thick and flavourful with a hint of lemon. Bread basket was served warm from the oven (not microwaved) with a crispy crust.

La Croisette at Phnom Penh Riverside The sign out front says since 1997. In Phnom Penh years, that’s practically ancient history. Restaurants along the Riverside tend to swap hands faster than a pair of loaded dice in a back alley crap game. La Croisette? Still standing. Which means they’re doing something right. This isn’t cheap eats. Thirty bucks here buys you what, back home, would barely cover a round of drinks and a starter. But that’s the deal, you come for the show as much as the food. The setting is prime time Riverside: traffic coughing by on one side, the muddy Mekong drifting on the other, and you in the middle, playing expat high roller with a craft beer or cocktail that actually tastes like someone went to culinary school and got straight A's. The menu is singular, deliberate fusion without the confusion. Western standards with local kicks, cocktails balanced with the kind of precision you don’t often find in this city’s bars especially at the edge of the notorious red light and nightlife district. If you’re trying to impress a date, splurge on yourself, or just remind your wallet what pain feels like, this is the place. Uniformed security keeps the Dickensian side of Phnom Penh’s street kids and hustlers from cutting in on your indulgence. It’s decadent, maybe even a little absurd, but that’s the Riverside in a nutshell: traffic roaring, river rolling, and you, caught somewhere between the two, enjoying a rare moment of relative 4 star tourist calm in the chaos. Three decades in the game and La Croisette still knows how to hold the stage. Treat yourself for a change and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Really nice place along the riverside. Friendly helpful staff, with some outstanding food. Especially the Cordon Bleu. All really good, decor feels a little dated but easily overlooked with the view and service.

Had a fantastic late lunch here right on the riverside. We ordered the seafood pasta and the grilled chicken breast with mashed potatoes and Kampot pepper sauce — both dishes were spot-on. The pasta was loaded with fresh prawns, squid, mussels, and cherry tomatoes — perfectly cooked with great balance of flavor and a light garlic white wine sauce. The chicken breast was juicy and well-seasoned, paired beautifully with creamy mash and a bold Kampot pepper sauce that really elevated the dish. Service was friendly, coffee was strong, and the view across the river made it even better. Great atmosphere for people-watching or relaxing with a drink. Highly recommend for anyone wanting solid food, cold drinks, and a quality riverside experience in Phnom Penh. Will definitely return.

Amazing food, nice and easy going vibes, nice service. When we went, the restaurant was mostly empty with only 1 or 2 tables occupied. But the food was amazing for sure.

Wonderful place. We sat upstairs for dinner, which is open air and has a view of the river. The menu is more little bit of everything than French. Anywhere from American to German and in-between. But, everything we ordered was fantastic. Prices are more American (highe) than a lot of other places, but we were not disappointed with the food at all.

Loved it. Great menu selection, nice portions and beautifully cooked. Very tasty. Service was fast, efficient and friendly. Very attentive.

Absolutely tasteless and hard to eat food only thing edible was the shrimp on top, both pasta dishes were small portions and really bland. The pesto tastes like grass and the bolognese barely has any flavor too could not even finish the dish. 30$+ for that is honestly a waste Atmosphere was great restaurant looks nice and the views are great too but i can’t mention enough how bad the food was.
