La Pétanque Bar & Kitchen à Phnom Penh

Set in Tuol Tom Poung, Phnom Penh, La Pétanque Bar & Kitchen 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 french, asian and cambodian on the menu. Prices stay friendly, which is a big part of why people keep coming back. 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. ## Where it sits You are in Tuol Tom Poung 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. ## 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. Handy to know about when you are in the Tuol Tom Poung part of town.
