WoodHouse Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Battambang

Having looked for places with good reviews we decided on this place. With a menu of both Western and Khmer dishes, there was a lot of choice. We tried the fried eggplant with pork and rice and, on the recommendation of a gentleman at the bar, also ordered the lasagna. We were glad we did because it was excellent. Very flavourful with quality ingredients and nicely cooked pasta sheets. The fried eggplant was delicious too. Prices were reasonable, staff were friendly, and all round satisfying experience and we may well return.

NB: We did return and had the pasta aglio e olio and the beef chopsteak and fries. The pasta was absolutely delicious, cooked al dente and so flavourful for such a simple dish. The chopsteak was similar to the hamburger steak you get in Japan. Essentially two bunless burgers, with a sauce served on top. It was also good. I've been so impressed with the Italian dishes here...

Was walking by and saw them open so I stopped for dinner. Food was great! But what really brought me to the reviews was my experience. This restaurant has a beautifully selected menu with a full bar. While sitting at the bar top eating, the owner, also seated at the bar, started a conversation that would last hours.

That's my experience -- color traveler who had such an enjoyable mealtime and conversation. He was so delightful and kind and fun to talk to. I ended up staying until closing just chatting. He and his staff have a place that brought in both tourists and locals alike. Definitely a place I recommend if you're...

The staff was nice, friendly, and spoke good English. The dining area was small but comfortable, and opened to the street. Overall, the food was decent but overpriced for what you get (we had a burger, pasta, and shakes), especially considering we ate better tasting food, for half the price, at another local restaurant. It's a nice place and has a clean look and feel, but at 2-3 times the price of similar meals, we'll stick with other resturants (although it was a pleasant experience). If you want a western vibe/venue, and a viriety of food choices, and don't mind paying more for that, I...
