La Croisette

My favorite place to get cocktails, reasonable price, many options and great service. Food is delicious too, large portion and fresh ingredients, you can see the lively riverside street from the restaurant which makes the experience there even better.

Located at the heart of phnom penh touristic area near the riverside walkway, that restaurant offers various cambodian dishes along with delicious international cuisines. Coktails are also must-try. Very friendly staff and good atmosphere. Tourists can't miss.

Great restaurant with good food and a wide menu selection. Lasagna had great flavour although a little too salty. Service was attentive, friendly, and prompt without being in your face. Just finished brunch and had the same great experience. Eggs benedict were made perfectly, solid white and runny yolks, prosciutto was tender, sauce was thick and flavourful with a hint of lemon. Bread basket was served warm from the oven (not microwaved) with a crispy crust.

La Croisette at Phnom Penh Riverside The sign out front says since 1997. In Phnom Penh years, that’s practically ancient history. Restaurants along the Riverside tend to swap hands faster than a pair of loaded dice in a back alley crap game. La Croisette? Still standing. Which means they’re doing something right. This isn’t cheap eats. Thirty bucks here buys you what, back home, would barely cover a round of drinks and a starter. But that’s the deal, you come for the show as much as the food. The setting is prime time Riverside: traffic coughing by on one side, the muddy Mekong drifting on the other, and you in the middle, playing expat high roller with a craft beer or cocktail that actually tastes like someone went to culinary school and got straight A's. The menu is singular, deliberate fusion without the confusion. Western standards with local kicks, cocktails balanced with the kind of precision you don’t often find in this city’s bars especially at the edge of the notorious red light and nightlife district. If you’re trying to impress a date, splurge on yourself, or just remind your wallet what pain feels like, this is the place. Uniformed security keeps the Dickensian side of Phnom Penh’s street kids and hustlers from cutting in on your indulgence. It’s decadent, maybe even a little absurd, but that’s the Riverside in a nutshell: traffic roaring, river rolling, and you, caught somewhere between the two, enjoying a rare moment of relative 4 star tourist calm in the chaos. Three decades in the game and La Croisette still knows how to hold the stage. Treat yourself for a change and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Really nice place along the riverside. Friendly helpful staff, with some outstanding food. Especially the Cordon Bleu. All really good, decor feels a little dated but easily overlooked with the view and service.
