Restaurants in Phnom Penh

Le Royal at The Raffles is Phnom Penh's most formal French-Cambodian dining room, recognised by La Liste at 75 points in both 2025 and 2026, with a Google rating of 4.7 across more than 2,000 reviews. It is the clearest special-occasion choice in the capital — a colonial hotel setting with consistent service and enough culinary ambition to justify the premium over mid-range Cambodian alternatives. Booking is easy, with no significant lead time required.

CUTS sits on the 38th floor of Vatanac Capital Tower, making it one of Phnom Penh's highest dining addresses and a strong call for group dinners and special occasions where the setting does the work. Booking is easy relative to comparable venues. For full city context, see our Phnom Penh restaurants guide.
