The Corner restaurant — Restaurant in Ratanakiri

I have spent 3 weeks in Ratanakiri and tried a number of different restaurants during the first week. The food in most of them is average. The Corner Restaurant is the exception, all their food is excellent and unlike many Cambodian run restaurants the standard is consistent. The Cambodian owner worked in a good Phnom Penh restaurant for a number of years and it shows in the standard of both the food and service.

This place servers both local and western foods, if you wish to pass the more 'exotic' local specialities; here it is possible. This place is also filled with long list of cheap cocktails if you wish to be...

I ordered a traditional coconut soup with chicken, mushroom, lemongrass... The taste was ok, but after reading all the great reviews I was disappointed to find canned mushrooms in the soup :/ The Khmer food I have been eating in the street is less than half the price and tastes just as good. Maybe the western dishes are better, I didn't try them. On the other hand, the staff is really kind and...
