Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Battambang right now.
There's a good selection of restaurants in town, including some western cuisine. The places to eat here are all at the lower end of the price range. A Khmer food market down by the river is open in the late afternoon or early evening.
The name means "rice bowl" in Khmer and this social enterprise restaurant curated by the Cambodian Children Trust dishes up tasty Khmer and Thai mains in a cozy and artsy atmosphere—rotating exhibits of local artworks hang from the wall, and it's often packed with young creatives in the evenings. Jaan Bai provides skills development and employment for disadvantaged Cambodians, and a share of the profits goes towards community development work.
A tiny, hip coffee shop in the historical district strewn, Kinyei is decorated with potted plants and managed by knowledgeable local baristas who serve a robust blend of beans from Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The lunch options, such as the veggie rolls, are perfect for a quick bite. Kinyei Cafe is part of the same social enterprise project managing nearby Jaan Bai, and helping young Cambodians develop employment skills.
