Le Phnom 1929 — Restaurant in Khan Daun Penh

Le Phnom 1929 offers a delightful French-style brasserie experience that extends beyond just savoring exquisite cuisine. It provides an ideal setting to share precious moments with family and friends. One of the standout features of the restaurant is its open kitchen, allowing diners to witness the culinary artistry in action, adding a dynamic element to the dining experience.

Overall, a fantastic choice for a special occasion dinner with some room for improvement in restroom...

Pros: Beautiful facility and wonderful service!

Cons: very expensive ($200 meal), the food did not match the expectations (300 g Australian Angus steak tasted way too gamey for Angus) and the seafood tower did not feel very fresh. Overall I think the value is way off.

Conclusion: I was very disappointed from what I would expect it to be a very fine dining experience. I guess this has a lot to do with the...
