Backyard Cafe - Phnom Penh

Omg this place is amazing. the employees are young, welcoming and polite. eating is so tasteful, it had my tastes in knots. updated by previous review on 2022-04-08

I enjoyed the atmosphere and the look of this restaurant. it is very quiet and quiet, which was perfect for a break during my first day in the hectic truppet of phnom penh. I had the full bowl and I liked it very much, although the tempeh was a bit bland. nevertheless, this was perfect for my lunch because of his situation and what it offers.

I had high expectations, but the burger I tried was undermining me. for the premium price I paid, I expected great portions and amazing aromes. unfortunately only the first one was fulfilled. overall prices are relatiw high compared to other vegan sites. the cocosyoghurt and the cream cheese are very tasty and I come back regularly.

The menu was so extensive it was hard to choose what to order. the tempeh buddha dish was recommended by staff and it was not disappointed!

I’ll start with what this place isn’t. It isn’t cheap; it doesn’t feel at all local; and it doesn’t serve Khmer food. So if you are only going to be in Cambodia for a few days and want to have a local experience, go somewhere else. BUT, if you are here longer and have a craving for obscenely good, healthy food that is easily on par with what you’d find in major cities on the west coast of the US, then this is BY FAR, the best place I’ve discovered in my 6 weeks in Phnom Penh. Although it’s expensive by Cambodian standards (though comparable to other places that cater to westerners), prices are probably around half of what you would pay in the US for this level of quality. I came here on multiple occasions and had the tempeh sandwich, abundance bowl, digestive smoothie, chocolate coffee smoothie, and the brownie. Everything was spectacular, and I wish they were eligible for 5 stars.
