With an enviable
setting in an impeccably restored '60s modernist house, and a rotating menu of progress-
ive European cuisine, Deco is one of Phnom Penh's most sophisticated restaurants. The
menu might include duck breast or Kampot crab cakes at any given time, and the creative
cocktails are legendary.

( 089823704; 49 Sothearos Blvd; mains US$9-15, steaks US$21-39; 9am-3pm & 6-11pm; )
Owned by a Kiwi, Duck is a Soho-style bistro in the heart of Phnom Penh, with sherry-red
wood tables, suave chill-out music and some of the most exciting cuisine in the capital.
You won't regret splurging on the wagyu scotch fillet (US$39). They do great things with
mushrooms here and have brunch on weekends.

Everything about this delectable eatery is minimalist, including the portions, so do go
ahead and order an appetiser. The South African chef personally presents his creations to
diners on super-sized plates. The constantly rotating menu usually includes just two main
courses. Delicious homemade bread and desserts top things off.
Psar O'Russei & Tuol Sleng
Asian Spice
(79 St 111; mains US$2.30-2.80; 6am-9pm; )
The house speciality is the zesty Singapore
laksa (yellow curry noodles), but you'll also find a host of appropriately spicy Indonesian
and Malaysian specialities on the menu, along with some Western fare. One of Phnom
Penh's best bargains.
