The Attic à Phnom Penh

Set in Phnom Penh, The Attic has become one of the neighbourhood's dependable international food 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. ## The food and the setting The kitchen leans into international. It sits at the upmarket end of the scale, so it works best for a treat or a special evening. It handles both a quick weekday lunch and a longer dinner, and the kitchen keeps up even when the room is full. ## The neighbourhood As for the wider picture, Phnom Penh is compact enough that you can pair this with a museum, a market or the riverfront in the same afternoon. ## Getting there A tuk-tuk or a Grab / PassApp ride is the simplest way in. Save the map pin from the top of this page, since street numbering is loose and the name plus the neighbourhood usually gets you there faster. A short walk is fine in the cooler part of the day, but pavements are uneven and often blocked, so most people ride the last stretch even when it is close. ## Good to know Opening hours can shift, so it is worth checking before a long trip across town. If you are building a day around it, aim for slightly off-peak: the room is calmer and the kitchen has more time for your table. One to keep on the list for your next trip across town.
