We provide hotel pick-up from all centrally located hotels around Phnom Penh. This includes the Riverfront, BKK, Orussey Market, and Russian Market areas.
Khmer Curry Noodles
Try humble 5th century noodles that predate the Angkorian Empire alongside local patrons at simple tables and chairs, as they have for centuries. This is Cambodian comfort food that is popular for breakfast through dinner.
Stews & Stir-fries
Try three (or more) low-and-slow stews and stir-fries at Phnom Penh’s busiest roadside eatery. These are ancestral dishes born deep within countryside homes, now served by a family on the streets of the capital city.
Slow-roasted Ribs
Meet Auntie Song’s family, who’s pork short ribs once made a guest claim they “made me believe in Santa again.” Served alongside a special dish brought daily from Battambang province that features seasoned fish cakes grilled in banana leaves.
Fish Amok, Local Curry, and More
Sample golden-age ingredients and dishes at a trendy and lush setting hidden from the bustle of the city. These are the best versions of Cambodia’s go-to dishes.
Local Bar
In the land of sugarcane and humidity, try a locally crafted cocktail that highlights seasonal ingredients and discover how locals start their nights.

About This Tour:
Taste a time where Cambodian kings rode armored elephants into battle, where the Tonle Sap lake was only known by legend as the “Land of Gold” to far-off Indian empires, and Spanish invaders on the Mekong brought the Khmer cities of Chatamouk and Longvek to its knees through cannon fire.
Dishes that were created and defined through pivotal moments of history persist through the centuries despite the efforts of the Khmer Rouge to isolate and eliminate local food culture. Come and see what they tried to destroy and couldn’t, and taste the act of rebellion by local chefs who dared to remember and rediscover these recipes in a post-civil war era.

"A Tuk-Tuk ride through Gastronomic History"
“I was on a historical odyssey and didn’t even know it. These themes are what made the tour come alive. I would have been quite satisfied romping from place to place, beer in hand, but what I found was a premiere introduction to Khmer culture as well as cuisine.”

"Local Khmer Food Odyssey"
“This was one of the best food tours I have been on in a while. What I loved best was that the places we went and the food we ate was authentic and a truly local experience.”
"Phnom Penh, Cambodia: I’m In Love"
“At one point we even went to a BBQ place that is apparently usually only a drive-through, except Lost Plate has arranged for a table to be set up on the family’s patio a few nights a week for their tours. I would absolutely suggest making time for it while you’re in Phnom Penh!”
