Le Langka really feels like a hidden gem in Phnom Penh. Tucked away in a quiet lane, the atmosphere is cozy, warm, and perfect for an intimate dinner.
For mains, I ordered the veal tenderloin and the boneless chicken with yoghurt sauce. The veal was beautifully cooked—tender, juicy, and full of flavor, complemented by a red wine reduction sauce with peppercorns that elevated the flavour of the veal which was not gamey at all. The braised boneless chicken was surprisingly memorable too; the yoghurt sauce gave it a refreshing tang that lifted the whole plate.
To finish, I had the almond crème brûlée, and it was the highlight of the evening. Creamy, delicate, with the perfect crack of caramelized sugar on top, it balanced indulgence with a subtle nuttiness in the aftertaste that made it stand out from the other crème brûlées I’ve had in the past.
Service was attentive yet relaxed, which added to the charm. Prices may be little higher than the average Phnom Penh restaurant, but for the quality of food, cozy ambiance and excellent service provided by its’ staff it is more than fair.
Overall, Le Langka is a place I’d recommend for anyone looking for a refined yet welcoming dining experience in the city. When I visit Phnom Penh again I’d definitely return to explore more of the menu.
