Le Manolis

Razor clams and the free bread go really well together. The bread is fresh and full of flavor, and the steak is juicy, nicely done, and perfectly sliced. Everything tastes fresh and the atmosphere is great for Western food. Only downside is the insane number of mosquitoes every time I visit.

La Manolis offers a comforting atmosphere with its classic old Khmer style decor, creating a warm and nostalgic feeling that’s perfect for a relaxed dining experience. The ambiance is inviting, making it a nice spot to unwind with friends or loved ones. The food was nice, although I found it to be quite expensive. I ordered an iced latte, which tasted pretty much like a standard café drink—mostly milky with just a hint of coffee flavor. It was acceptable but lacked the richness and depth that I expected, especially for a fancy restaurant. As for the service, it was okay. It wasn’t very fast, but it was manageable enough not to detract significantly from the experience. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, as you'll need to find a spot on the nearby street. Overall, I would rate La Manolis a 7/10. It’s a pleasant place to chill and enjoy some time with friends and family, just keep in mind that while the atmosphere is lovely, the food and drinks may not meet your expectations for the price.

The place offers a vintage, french colonial times experience through their interior and exterior designs. They make one of the best lasagna and clams in town and i love, love, love their aperol spritz! The staff are not that friendly and welcoming for some reason so that’s why I rated 3/5 for the service. But I would still recommend to check it out.

On subsequent visits, Manolis continues to excel culinarily every single time—you really can’t go wrong with their formula. I enjoy discovering a new wine on each visit, and the staff are generally attentive. That said, service can slip during long afternoons; on one occasion, a staff member misunderstood our order, poured the wrong wine, and then told us to drink it anyway, which was unacceptable. Credit where due, Cedric handled the situation, and overall service standards remain solid. All things considered, this is one of the best places to be in Cambodia, and even most hotels don’t match this level. — My romance with Le Manolis began earlier this year, thanks to a recommendation from a friend who truly understands my discerning tastes. This place perfectly captures the essence of casual yet well-executed dining. Le Manolis boasts a great selection of wines, including several by the glass, alongside well-crafted cocktails and a thoughtfully curated menu. It’s a dining experience that feels both elevated and approachable. Full credit goes to Cyril for bringing this gem to Cambodia. If you visit, the must-try items are the mackerel rillettes and their assortment of fine cheeses and cold cuts—absolute standouts. Five out of five stars and an extra four points for flawless execution. A true delight!

Very relaxing place for night out. The food was great we ordered mushroom soup it was fresh and great flavor,lamp was great and we ordered. Service was wonderful staff was nice she been check up with us if everything ok, Location is great it is very unique design building I love old style buildings. Great place after all

We had a lovely long lunch. Lovely seafood, steak and ragu. Service was warm and friendly. I have some minor feedback. The cream sauce for the mussels did not go well with the shell fish. The desserts were a bit disappointing. The crème brûlée did not have a sugar glaze that cracked like glass. The consistency of the brulee was too firm. Not the best crème brûlée around. Overall we had a lovely time.

The atmosphere was charming and elegant, with soft lighting and classic French music that set the mood perfectly. What really stood out were the cocktails: expertly mixed, balanced, and creative. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. A perfect spot for a special evening out or a stylish dinner with friends.

This French restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. The service is very good. I love the salad here. The interior decorations are very fancy, and while the prices are a bit higher than other French places, you pay for what you get. Highly recommended.
