126 Restaurant

Phnom Penh, Cambodia

126 Restaurant was another Phnom Penh restaurant we kept returning to.

It was often busy, which gave it a lively, genuinely local atmosphere, but we consistently had a very good experience.

Personally ate here. Our recommendation comes from our own visits. We did not take photographs at 126 Restaurant; the accompanying stock images are representative and do not show the restaurant or the meals we ate there.

The food was lovely and the prices were very reasonable. For us, 126 became one of those places where, once you've found somewhere good, friendly and reliable, you simply keep going back—and that's exactly what we did.
