Sandan – Khmer & Western Fusion

If you’d like to try some local Khmer food but you prefer something on the safe side, then Sandan is a great option. The restaurant specialises in Khmer & Western fusion dishes, so, in a nutshell, it tries to soften and subtly bring out the flavours of classic recipes (as well as adding their own touches here and there).

The atmosphere in the restaurant is very calm and peaceful, and the focus is on providing a high level of service. This is reflected in the price – An average dish costs $7 and a glass of wine around $5.

Perhaps what stands out the most about Sandan is the philosophy behind it – Their model is based on helping homeless children by training them to work in their chain of restaurants. The children excellently serving you throughout your meal were once orphans not too long ago.

Directions: If you’re coming from Occhuteal beach towards the Golden Lions, just as you reach the lions head left around the corner – Sandan is a 3 minute walk on your left hand side.
