Authentic Cambodian flavors with French technique, Asia's 50 Best
"I enjoyed lunch at the Phnom Penh outpost of Cuisine Wat Damnak: set in a restored 1950s villa with a garden, the dining experience is peaceful, sophisticated and elegant, echoing the acclaim of its Siem Reap namesake." - Jonathan Evans
"Dreamt up by French chef-patron Joannès Rivière and established in 2011, this wooden-house fine-diner — now with a sister restaurant in Phnom Penh — became Cambodia’s sole representative on the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list in 2015 and 2016 and has since attracted a fanatical, niche following. Named after the picturesque village it occupies, the restaurant stages intimate soirées overseen by co-owner/director and journeyman chef Nguon “Chai” Vengcchay, who keeps the adventurous fusion tasting menus firmly rooted in Khmer produce while preserving a surprise element through unlikely but consistently delectable flavour combinations." - SilverKris
