There are three branches of Khéma in the city, but this one, with its French colonial stylings, heritage building, and location in the heart of the old French quarter, is the one to go to. Expect classic French and European cuisine served at all times of the day, but weekend brunch is popular with Cambodians and expats.
In the elegant dining rooms of this beautifully restored 1880s Indochina Bank Building, next to the historic main post office, you can dine on classical French cuisine. Service is endearingly old-fashioned, and there are courtyard tables which are very pleasant on a cool breezy evening.
This elegant French fine dining restaurant is a longtime Phnom Penh favorite with Cambodia's elite, affluent expats, diplomats, and gastronomes. The capital's best wine cellar, premium-quality ingredients such as French oysters and Tasmanian Cape Grim beef cooked to perfection, and faultless service has made Topaz one of the most feted spots to dine in the city. It's a great choice for a final vacation meal.
Possibly the most happening restaurant in Kandal Village, this French-owned and retro-themed bar and international bistro is the go-to place for French cuisine and Khmer staple dishes. Their good selection of wines and cocktails also attracts Siem Reap's drinking elite, especially on Funky Friday, their club night with live DJs. Don't miss the art gallery on the first floor.
