A fantastic introduction to Phnom Penh’s local food scene

5.00A fantastic way to see a lot of the city and try some authentic foods with a brilliant guide (Pat). We were driven round in a tuk tuk and sampled food in 5 restaurants finishing with a cocktail and a view at the Sundowner Social club. This was such a good way to spend our first night in Phnom Penh to get to know the area and pick up lots of tips. All of the restaurants were clean and there were plenty of vegetarian options and huge amounts of food! Pat was friendly, highly knowledgeable and great fun!! We would highly recommend this tour especially if you are only in Phnom Penh for a short time.
Great food and great company!

5.00We had a great evening with Lee and 1 other couple, exploring Phnom Penh’s food scene and its Russian night market. Lee has a wealth of knowledge about his country, the city and, of course, food. He was informative, insightful and fun! We made 5 scheduled stops in total, travelling by tuk-tuk, which was a great way to get around. And, if we spied something that looked interesting while we were on the go, Lee would pop out and get us a taste. This was much appreciated and very generous of him. We chose this tour because it seemed to have the greatest focus on offering a variety of food and to offer the widest range of eating experiences. Lee delivered perfectly! The tour was well-organised and everything worked seamlessly. Plenty of water and beer was available. We ended our evening in a charming sky bar overlooking the Russian market, for cocktails. Highly recommended.
Glorious foodie tour Phnom Penh

5.00Get amongst the truly authentic local food scene on this perfectly curated and expertly guided food tour. Lee, our guide, not only delivered on the culinary experience but he also provided some great insights to how the friendly folk of Cambodia live and enjoy life. Central to that is the wonderful food they enjoy. Do this tour, it’s a great way to introduce yourself to Khmer culture and cuisine, and getting the best out of Phnom Penh.

5.00Great tour with Phat. We are only in PP for 24hrs, so wanted to try and get to the heart of the local food scene. Phat was excellent (as was the tuc tuc driver) we visited many family run local restaurants and tried a variety of local dishes. On our own we would have never tried all these places and foods, although we avoided insects etc!! We finished walking around a night market, where all the traders were preparing many different food, fish, duck, sweets etc, and a cocktail at a ‘sky bar’ over the market. Phat was great talking to us about many aspects of life in PP and wider Cambodia.
A Fantastic Introduction to Khmer Food.

5.00Lee was an enthusiastic and very friendly guide, and this was a brilliant introduction to Khmer food, how to flavour it and how to eat it. He took us to long established restaurants known for their quality rice noodles, rice pancakes and fried noodles, and then for three main course dishes. All were delicious and we also squeezed in a walk around near the Independence Monument. Beer and water were freely available throughout. The biggest eye opener was the street traders around the Russian Market where we were shown foods you would never see in the West being sold in decidedly unhygienic conditions, but a great experience nevertheless. The only negative were the deserts. They didn't appeal, but we still tried them just in case we were wrong... We weren't!! We finished the evening with cocktails in a sky bar overlooking the street traders around Russian Market before being whisked back to our hotel by our ever attentive and careful Tuc Tuc driver. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommend doing this 4hr tour with Lee.
