Au Cabaret Vert

Au Cabaret Vert sits in Battambang 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.

What to expect

Expect french, european and asian on the menu. Prices are reasonable for the area. Dishes come out in generous, shareable sizes, so a table of three or four can order a spread and try a bit of everything.

How it rates

Diners have left it a 4.7 average from over 114 reviews, and the praise is consistent rather than a one-off spike. Ratings on their own do not tell you everything, but a score this steady over that many visits usually means you will get roughly what the last few hundred people got.

Where it sits

For context, Battambang keeps its colonial-era streets and a real cafe and gallery scene, all within a short walk of the river.

How to get there

Most visitors arrive by tuk-tuk or ride-hailing app. Use the map on this page rather than the street address, and allow a little extra time in the middle of the day when the heat slows everything down. If you are coming from the riverside or a central hotel it is a quick hop; from further out, factor in traffic at the start and end of the working day.

Planning a visit

Hours are not always fixed, so a quick check before heading over saves a wasted journey. Cambodian kitchens keep flexible hours around public holidays and quiet spells, so a quick call ahead is never wasted, especially for dinner. A solid option to have in your back pocket.
