Battambang is regarded by many visitors as the best place in the country to see and enjoy the traditional and rural Cambodian way of life. With that, you'll also naturally come across an array of flavoursome traditional Khmer cuisine.

The people here are friendly and the town seems less commercial than other Cambodian cities. As an indirect result, the choice of restaurants here can be rather limited. But what is offered can be very interesting, so prepare for an exciting culinary adventure.
