LET THE DUST MOUTH YOUR NAME

Cambodias capital city doesn't get much love. Known universally as a dustbowl of epic proportions, the fact that it truly is one helps the cause. You'd be hard pressed to walk three blocks without getting whipped in the face by a crop-dusting of particles. Life for an asthmatic is hell, but luckily there are a few places to eat housed indoors away from the carnage.

With a mix of local Khmer cuisine and some truly great international spots, Phnom Penh is not at all a bad spot to camp down for a few days and stuff your face.

ELEVEN ONE KITCHEN

A soft landing for first time visitors to Cambodia. Sample the local favourites without sacrificing a fortnight clutching the toilet bowl.

MALIS

The closest you'll get to fancier local food in Phnom Penh. Prices are still hugely acceptable for European wallets, and the environment is tranquil.

JIANG SU REN JIA

Although it's not exactly local food, this dumpling place gives restaurants in China a run for their money. Everything is excellent, and the photo-menu's and tacky interiors only add to the authenticity.

BEST ICE COFFEE (SHOP 547)

No visit to Cambodia is complete without a visit to the achingly friendly Mr Bounnarith and his small coffee stall.

Don't get tricked by the stall nextdoor claiming to have the best coffee in Cambodia, this is the place you need to try.

IRINA

Though it may not be the flavour of the month these days, this Russian restaurant churns out remarkably delicious food.

MEXICANO

It's hard to find decent mexican food in Asia, but here is a place that more than satisfies any longings.

IDLI DOSA

It's rare to find such tasty masala dosa's in this part of South East Asia, but if you have cravings then they will more than appease them.

INTEGRITE

A furiously fashionable restaurant that serves up authentic rendang curries and other Malay specialities.

EMBARGO

Despite our general avoidance of all things "Craft Beer", this tiny alleyway bar makes up for it in proximity to friendly people and good vibes.

ARMAND'S

When the pull for some French cuisine comes, served by suited and booted waiters in a classy little establishment, then call and make reservations for a night of wining and dining at Armand's.

NAMASTE

Outside of India, you'll rarely find as tasty food as at Namaste. Everything we tried was delicious.

@FRIENDS

You'll be rubbing elbows with a hundred other tourists, but the food is what keeps people coming back.

JAVA CREATIVE CAFE

Find rest on the best balcony in the city.
