Le Tonlé
Kratie's most acclaimed community training restaurant, staffed by local trainees and serving Khmer home cooking such as fish amok.
Le Tonlé is a hospitality training centre for disadvantaged young people in northeastern Cambodia, founded in 2007. The restaurant and guesthouse are run by trainees under the guidance of their mentors, and it has consistently ranked first among Kratie restaurants on Tripadvisor. The menu centres on Khmer classics such as fish amok, beef lok lak and chicken curry, alongside Western breakfasts, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Because trainees are serving the food, service can be a little slow at times, and diners generally take this in good spirit. A single dish costs about US$2–6, and the deluxe set menu about US$8.50. Located on the riverfront near the ferry to Koh Trong island, it is a short walk from the market and needs no reservation.
