Irrawaddi Restaurant, Burmese Cuisine, (7.3/10)

Some may confuse this pace for a garage, however behind the mint green gate lies a culinary experience incorporating most Burmese dishes in a tapas like fashion that should not be missed. Having sampled a variety of salads, curries and rotti we were left pleasantly impressed. Not a plate was left unlicked.

Other benefits include: ok service, no corkage, Myanmar’s Lonely Planet guide from the early noughties, and a mystery guitar man (having eaten here a few times his guitar lays waiting … the stage is set but we have yet to be treated to the sweet sounds of Myanmar).

Last but not least this place is light on your wallet.

No corkage – extra 0.5 point!

Piccola Italia da Luigi (6/10)

This small Pizzeria is located at the heart of BKK1 and is indeed attracting a lot of tourists. Next to the Bassac Lane many pubs, it represents an ideal stop if you are looking for a relatively cheap pizza prepared with cheap ingredients. The pizza did not fully convince us. Even though the competition is low in Phnom Penh, this is not great. The location is poor. You are most likely eating in the street, literally with cars passing 20 cm from your shoulders.
The best thing of this place is its location. Prices are low, but you can find better pizza for similar amounts.

The service: low standard.

Malis Restaurant (7.7/10)

This restaurant is definitely something you want to try -if your wallet allows it. In the hearth of vibrant BKK1, Malis has a pleasant courtyard where their -more or less- fusion food is served. The environment is not exactly a quite and romantic one, but it is certainly a pleasant space.

Overall the food is good. We would not say that the added value of this restaurant is its fusion, innovative approach to Cambodian food. Its quality is instead found when you order meat. Excellent meat cooking and marinating. Soups are good too. The rest is fine, but could be improved to match the menu price. We had wine only once in this restaurant, it was fair; just fair.
This restaurant is open for fancy breakfasts, this is something we like of a place!

The service: high standard.
Approx. budget for one (no wine): 35 USD
