Description: Tepui at Chinese House offers a cuisine influenced by the Mediterranean & South America, and cocktail creations with Asian accents. Gisela Salazar Golding, the Venezuelan head chef, creates dishes inspired by her own origins as well as years of culinary experience in Valencia (Spain), Paris, Shanghai and Phnom Penh. She now brings to Tepui an inspiring menu highlighting her love affair with South America and Asia. The Chinese House, a destination itself, was built in 1903 by Tan Bun Pa, a leading Chinese trader. Retaining its original combination of Chinese architecture and French colonial style, it is amongst the very few colonial houses in Phnom Penh that remains in its original state. The Chinese House was carefully restored in 2009 and now hosts a restaurant, bar, and gallery. Open Monday to Saturdays, 5pm onwards.

Tapas were great and my husband's steak was the best he had had in south east asia. Meals were beautifully presented. Good wine list and very attentive staff. Expect to pay western prices.

Beautiful house and very handsome maitre d'. Even the "simple" green babana chips with the cocktails were just perfect. And then there were the sardines....

We came here on our first night in PP and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had emailed the establishment before leaving Australia as we both love Tapas, however our ten year old son is not adventurous with food. Antonio was very obliging and after negotiating we organised some mozarella fingers followed by pasta bolognaise for our son. We enjoyed 5 different... More

Tepui is set in an amazing colonial villa. It's worth eating here just to admire the beautiful setting. As a huge plus the food is delicious. Both the tapas and mains are sensational. Great drinks list as well. A great place to take guests, have a meal with friends or romantic dinner. Have enjoyed it every time.

probably my favorite overall restaurant in PP, amazing setting and food and excellent service without the pretentiousness that you get with a lot of high end places here. It's my go to spot for business or social visitors. When the bar is busy it's a great drinking spot also.

Great place to start sober and move your way up...! Lovely tapas, a nice change to Asian food. Great service, one of the only place in Phenom Penh where you feel like you have been well-looked after. On the down side, as a no-smoker, not a big fan of the smoking, but again, it is hard to find places in... More

The Chinese deco was quite nicely done, but there was somehow a tinge of eeriness, perhaps because it was way too dark. The food was acceptable but not fantastic, after having eaten at Deco and Yumi.
