Outstanding Food and Service

Jan 2020 • couples

Have never found another restaurant in Phnom Penh that could compete with Khema . Great cuisine. Lovely surroundings. Charming and efficient staff. “Sok” was our main waiter and he was very knowledgeable in respect of pairing the food & wine on offer. The wine & dine on a Thursday was also excellent value and very popular. Highly recommended. Don’t forget to visit the delicatessen for great pastries!

Great service and tasty food

Dec 2019 • none

The service was excellent, and so was the food. We were brought some freshly baked baguette with butter whilst we were waiting for our food - the bread was everything you wanted it to be. Beef carpaccios are one of my favourite dishes therefore if I see one - I try one - and I loved it! You could tell the olive oil used was of quality, and the beef was almost melting in your mouth with those parmesan shavings. You must try the fresh baguette with as it pairs wonderfully. One of my family members ordered a beef burger and was asked how cooked he would like it, as for the steak frites, which definitely shows they care about not only the quality of the food they serve but also about the customer's experience at their restaurant. The meats were served as we asked, whether it was blue, medium or well done. Really tasty food for reasonable prices, I would definitely recommend !

Free Flow but SLOW

Dec 2020 • none

I wrote a review for Khéma Pasteur shortly after they opened. They had not properly trained their staff and our experience was bad. Times have changed and I have been back three or four times and it seems better each time. We went for the "Free Flow Breakfast" and the "Free Flow Lunch" (one of each). There was endless bread and butter while we waited, but for $14 a head, we wanted to fill up on Eggs Royale or some of the lunch specials. We ordered our coffees immediately and then got juices and two breakfast dishes and two lunch dishes ordered before we settled in to a conversation. By and by the coffees arrived and we asked for some croissants to nibble on (usually there is a buffet where you can keep getting pastries, but this was back in the c19 days, and the buffet was closed). Finally the food arrived and we quickly gauged whether we should get one or two more. When we finished the first two plates, the others were about ready to come to the table. The portions are not large, but you may have as many as you have time for. The restaurant is quite classy actually. I would say good for romance or other special occasions. Their dinner menu is quite extensive, so I suppose I'll be back to try that one day. I'm glad they have improved so much.

Dear David, Many thanks for your encouraging review which motivates us to keep improving. We're glad to read you noticed how service has improved since the opening. Please be sure that we are still working on it as we strive to offer the best possible experience to our guests. We hope you'll have an even more seamless experience next time you visit us.

Good food. Good price. Good staff.

May 2020 • family

I’m a local and Khema is my go-to whenever I need a taste change from homecooked meal to western cuisine. The restaurant has a nice ambient atmosphere, and very friendly staffs. The food is very good for its price and they offer a freeflow brunch menu which is available every morning at everyday of the week. They also have a wide variety of desserts and cakes which you can pre-order for your events. In my opinion, they have the best macaroons in town. Anyway, an unfortunate event happened to me once last month as i booked a private room for my birthday; but then they accidentally gave it to someone else. As much angry as I was at the staffs with their slip up, they made sure our table set (not in the private room anymore) and our dining experience going smoothly. They did offer 2 complimentary entrées and one cake which I think was the least they could do. Anyhow, i would definitely go back, Khema has been our family’s favorite restaurant.

Thank you so much for your patronage and your understanding when this unfortunate event happened last time. Please accept our sincere apologies again. We're truly glad to have you as our guest and really appreciate this great review that highlights everything Khéma has to offer. We look forward to seeing you again very soon.

On par with fine dining anywhere in the world!

Oct 2019 • none

So, let me start off by saying that on our trip to Cambodia, we were happy to soak up the local and authentic experience. We are not the kind of people who look down on a developing country, or expect it to cater to high end or fancy tastes. A meal at this restaurant was our one "splurge" in Phnom Pehn, but it cost us less to eat here than it would in our hometown of Portland, OR. So we saw it more as a deal too good to pass up! And it was. The food was on par with any other highly polished cuisine we've had elsewhere all over the world. We ordered an appetizer, two entrees, desert, and a bottle of wine, and the bill was still under $80 USD. I had the Beef Bourginon, and relished this take on famously delicious Cambodian beef. My husband had the Coq Au Vin. We paired it with a French pinot noir, and had a chocolate desert (unfortunately I can't recall what it was). The service was excellent. Really you could drop this whole place in Paris and it would hold up. It was my favorite meal in Phnom Pehn!

Dear Jillian, Thank you so much for this amazing review, it really means a lot to us and rewards all our efforts to offer our guests the best possible French dining experience in Cambodia. We're glad you chose Khéma for a little gourmet trip during your stay in Phnom Penh and we're happy to know it didn't disappoint you. Thank you for visiting us and we hope to welcome you again if by any chance you come back in Cambodia! Best wishes from the Khéma Team

The food might be good but the service is not

Feb 2021 • none

my experiences @ khema pasteur this has now happened for the forth time. I have ordered dishes @ Khema today, with around 4 other tables occupied. the waiter did not write down my order. he forgot one out of three dishes. after complaint the reason given was "Sorry I forgot" Haven't heard this in any restaurant of this size and standing outside of Cambodia - and also rarely within. I find for the prices that Khema charges one could expect trained staff that writes orders down. But not at this place, where they usually don't even give you napkins (unless you ask!). Cambodia has come a long way; the staff at this restaurant seems to still live in the 1990s or early 2000s.

Written February 22, 2021

Dear Nicolaus, As you know, we have already taken your feedback into account and would like to apologise for your disappointing experience you had at our restaurant. The whole team is working hard to improve the service, especially during Free Flow hours which are very busy. We still hope you'll give us another chance in the coming weeks, so that you could see the difference. Best wishes from the Khéma team

We stayed at Lumiere hotel

We stayed at Lumiere hotel which is 3 minutes walk away. It’s so good and not crazy expensive we dined here twice. We especially loved the seabass tatarte and beef cooked in butter and herb sauce served with tealights (can’t remember the name). Beef carpaccio, lobster bisque, seafood pasta and tenderloin were not bad but not wow. Good service. Highly recommended.

BEST BREAKY IN TOWN

Mar 2020 • none

We stopped by for breakfast and were delighted with the quality of the breakfast. We were going to order alacarte but ended up having the all you can eat for $11.90 which was fantastic value. You can have a juice, coffee, tea and anything off the menu. The quality of the produce was excellent and plenty of it. The eggs benedict were great as was the big breakfast. Their fresh fruit and yoghurt was also very good. It is in a lovely old building and the staff were very professional and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

If you insist on Western food...

Feb 2020 • none

We had lunch here because my friend insisted on Western food. The lunch special comprised a salad and desert buffet with a la carte menu for soup, main, ice cream, and tea or coffee. The place is nice and elegant, making you forget that this is in the heart of Phnom Penh. The food is OK. I wouldn't say it was great french food, but OK, and the price was reasonable. So if you want some western food after days of eating local dishes, this would be a good choice.

Dear Mario, Thank you for visiting us when craving for Western food! We're glad you enjoyed our venue as well as our Free Flow Lunch.

Great Brunch!

Feb 2020 • couples

If you come on a Saturday make sure to have a reservation! We came the next day with a reservation but it was not very busy so we would have been fine walking in. The croissants are fantastic! Buttery, flaky, and delicious. The chocolate version was a wonderful part of the bread buffet. Their eggs and bacon were very good, while the English breakfast was enormous! The Khmer breakfast soup was fine, nothing special to us. Fresh juices abound and there is plenty to gnosh on. I wish they had a berry jelly filled croissant option, a breakfast sandwich, and a "make your own omelet" option also. They do great things here and I hope they continue to add to their menu.

We had wonderful food here for breakfast and lunch. All plates came out straight from kitchen with reasonable portion that gave you opportunity to try some more. The best baguette in town and we believe it can compete to the one in France.

Great french food, service could be slow if sitting outside

Oct 2019 • none

Regular favorite with consistently good french food. A bit pricey but it is in a fine dining category i suppose. We usually prefer to sit outside that looks like a proper seating setup but getting served there is almost impossible - you would basically have to go inside and get your own menus, orders or drink refills. But usually if sitting inside that doesn't happen. So would recommend for a nice french food in the nice fine dining setup

Written January 20, 2020

Dear A J, Thank you for pointing out what could be improved at Khéma Pasteur, we take note of your feedbacks. It's true that we always recommend our guests to seat inside as outside tables are normally not dedicated to dining, even though we try to do our best when people request it. Thank you for still highlighting the quality of our cuisine, this is greatly appreciated and we're happy to have you among our loyal guests. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

I took my Khmer girlfriend and she could not have been more impressed.

Jul 2019 • none

I have lived in Phnom Penh for nearly two years now and only recently discovered Khema Pasteur. From the minute I saw the exterior, the attention to detail, and the cleanliness I was confident I was going to be impressed. The interior was equally impressive. We were shown to our reserved table by a well presented and incredibly polite young man and we soon ordered. The food was amazing. I had bangers and mash in gravy (a taste of England!) and my girlfriend had steak and chips. I can't remember what we had for dessert, but we shared one between us and it all went, very quickly. The reason I can't remember what we had for dessert, was because we drunk two bottles of amazing wine. The entire experience was just perfect. The place, the service, the food, the price. I will be back, I am even thinking of sneaking down there tomorrow for breakfast, which I hear is very good.

Lovely restaurant; highest, top-quality ingredients

Jul 2023 • family

Lovely restaurant with a charming interior and delightful staff. Centrally located. Upon a local resident's recommendation, I had the free flow breakfast here every morning during my stay in Phnom Penh. Everything one could ever want out of a western breakfast; only the highest, top-quality ingredients. Great and varied selection of coffees to boot. Easily one of the best breakfasts anywhere, and at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.
