The Tree Bar

The Tree Bar sits in Bassac Lane, 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.

What to expect

It is more about the bar than the kitchen, but there are bites to share. Prices are reasonable for the area. Come for a drink first and decide about food once you have a table; the kitchen keeps sensible hours around the bar.

Where it sits

You are in Bassac Lane here, so it is easy to fold a visit into a wander around that side of Phnom Penh. 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

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. Handy to know about when you are in the Bassac Lane part of town.
