Metro Hassakan

Set in Phnom Penh, Metro Hassakan has become one of the neighbourhood's dependable drinks stops. It is the kind of place you end up returning to rather than seeking out once, and it tends to stay busy without feeling rushed.

What to expect

Expect european and fusion on the menu. Prices are reasonable for the area. It gets going in the evening and holds a crowd late, with the food menu there to keep you going rather than to be the main event.

How it rates

Diners have left it a 4.2 average from over 364 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, Phnom Penh is compact enough that you can pair this with a museum, a market or the riverfront in the same afternoon.

Getting 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

It is open every day. Cambodian kitchens keep flexible hours around public holidays and quiet spells, so a quick call ahead is never wasted, especially for dinner. One to keep on the list for your next trip across town.
