The DOck Seafoodbar restaurant

The DOck Seafoodbar restaurant 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.

On the menu

You will find seafood here. It sits at the upmarket end of the scale, so it works best for a treat or a special evening. The cooking is the draw rather than the setting, and the menu is broad enough that a mixed group will all find something.

Around here

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

Getting here is straightforward by tuk-tuk or a ride-hailing app; give the driver the name and the area rather than a street number, which is how most people navigate in Cambodia. Fares for a ride like this are low by most standards, and agreeing the price or using the app rate up front avoids the usual haggle at tourist-heavy spots.

Before you go

Hours are not always fixed, so a quick check before heading over saves a wasted journey. Lunchtime and early evening are the safe windows; later in the night some places wind the kitchen down before the listed closing time. A solid option to have in your back pocket.
