Friends the Restaurant
A social enterprise training restaurant opposite the National Museum, reopened in October 2025, serving Khmer-style sharing plates.
Located at 215 Street 13, directly opposite the National Museum, this restaurant is operated by Mith Samlanh to train marginalized youth, with profits funding Friends-International's social programs. It reopened at its original location within the F3 Futures Factory on October 1, 2025, retaining classic dishes from both Friends and Romdeng. The menu focuses on small sharing plates, featuring crispy fried squid with Kampot pepper and lime dipping sauce, northern Thai chicken curry noodles, and fish amok, alongside vegetarian options, iced coffee, and cocktails. It is a perfect dining spot after visiting the museum. Closed on Mondays.
