Maru Cambodia

Maru Cambodia sits in Phnom Penh and draws a steady crowd of locals, expats and visitors. It is not chasing trends, and that is part of the appeal: you get a proper meal, a fair bill and staff who know the menu.

The food and the setting

The kitchen leans into asian, healthy and cambodian. It sits at the upmarket end of the scale, so it works best for a treat or a special evening. It handles both a quick weekday lunch and a longer dinner, and the kitchen keeps up even when the room is full.

The neighbourhood

As for the wider picture, Phnom Penh is compact enough that you can pair this with a museum, a market or the riverfront in the same afternoon.

How to get there

A tuk-tuk or a Grab / PassApp ride is the simplest way in. Save the map pin from the top of this page, since street numbering is loose and the name plus the neighbourhood usually gets you there faster. A short walk is fine in the cooler part of the day, but pavements are uneven and often blocked, so most people ride the last stretch even when it is close.

Good to know

Hours are not always fixed, so a quick check before heading over saves a wasted journey. If you are building a day around it, aim for slightly off-peak: the room is calmer and the kitchen has more time for your table. A solid option to have in your back pocket.
