Blue River Guest House

It was the perfect place to hang out after a long day. The owner is a very cool and nice guy and let me watch a Liverpool football game on his laptop. The atmosphere is very much welcoming and it has an uplifting sense to it. Would definitely go back there.

Having wonderful time with expats and locals in balcony, Lovely people, owner is friendly and caring. It's the best place to hang out after a long week days of work, Enjoy ourselves there, at balcony, never been a bad decision.

AVOID at all costs. I am a single Lady traveler and went to the Balcony bar on my last night in Battambang. Besides 2 local guys I was the only customer which unfortunately brought the owners full attention to me which was bad. I am not going to repeat the exact words of this man as it was simply disgusting (like the toilets). It must be a great place if you are old, male and alcoholic or if you like to be sexual harassed. Never again.

Nice chilled bar, good music and ideally one of the best places in Battambang to relax by the riverfront and enjoy company. Bobby aka beardy is a great host

The Balcony is a great place to go for dinner, drinks, and sunset views. It is located on an old house beside the river, and the balcony is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery with drinks on hand. The food options are limited, but they are all great. The lasagna and burger are particularly yummy. Descent selection of Khmer food as well :) The hosts, Vutha, Kalyan, and Bobby, are awesome. They are friendly and welcoming, and they always go out of their way to make sure that their guests have a good time. Overall, The Balcony Late Night Bar and Restaurant is a great place to go for a relaxing evening out. It is one of the best bars in Battambang, and it is sure to please everyone. PS. There's a pool table and live football shows:)

The place to sit is a little narrow, but the food is good has a lot of choices for appetize and good price. Good to go as team and friends. Go alone is not a good choice. Music is good for local.

Really!!! Cheap drinks. A little strong though. Great venue and ambience. Live music. But super loud. Solo Australian traveller , so wasn't really able to meet or talk to anyone there because of the language barrier and level of sound/music. Would be a great spot to come with friends

Great place to hang out with friends and listen to music. Prices are reasonable and service was good.

Kick ass new bar. Really fun crowd for opening night. It's our friends bar so let us pray he can survive but it will be gone in less than 6 months. Very poor economy and no consumer spending on fun.

Friendly staff, got something else than I ordered. But the service compensated. The pub is popular by locals, but had a nice experience.

I really enjoyed visiting the Battambang Museum. The museum is clean, peaceful, and full of interesting history about Khmer culture, ancient artifacts, and local traditions. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the displays were easy to understand. It is a great place to learn more about the history of Battambang and Cambodia. Highly recommended for travelers who enjoy culture and history.Location at Battam Bong province .

An amazing day tour I had a wonderful day tour in Battamgbong province, it was the most charming province located. Particularly I went to museum, there are many Khmer artifacts in the art gallery during Pre-Angkorian and Angkorian.

A very small museum with some very nice (and others not so much) artifacts from the province. The museum has all information in English. We enjoyed a good 30-45 minutes here.

This museum contains the remnants from archeological sites in both historic and prehistoric periods especially the Haobinhien culture. The place is small yet well organized in term of exhibition. What I like is the reproduction statue of Houbinhien society people together with tools.

Entry fee is US 3 per pax for foreigners No further donation is required. This is a really small non-airconditioned museum. Sadly to say, it is not as professionally done up as like Siem Reap Angkor Museum. The artifacts are mainly statue remains. Got a little sensitive to the nose since the smell in a non aircon place.

I hesitated between 4 and 5 stars, as there are not many options for people that are hungry, but then I decided to only review based on the coffee. The coffee was good and adequately priced (1.85$). The barista spoke perfect English. There are books in Khmer if you want to read. The vibe of the coffee shop is sort of industrial.

My favorite cafe !!

Do you have private movie room for 2 peoples?

The staff very friendly. The coffee is acceptable. The decoration is unique. Great place to chill.

Really nice interior but really bad coffee. Didnt drink more than half of it. The overall vibe of the cafe is nice though.

It’s a bit weird that my friend and I didn’t get any welcome words from the staff. There’s no event “ Sou Sdei or Hello bong” from both staff. They acted so equal to us. We went for a promotion for women rights day that posted on Facebook. When we asked about this promotion, they first told that there’s no any problem 1 free 1 and a minute later they told us back that there is a promotion for Vienna latte. When they asked us about the orders, they also didn’t ask about our names as other branches did (as you can see in photos). It’s not much, we just felt we didn’t get respect in the name of costumers. Hope both staffs changed their behaviors next time.

I got grande (used my own cup) honey grapefruit cold brew /sugar 50%. they made it "frappe" which was a nice surprise. Interesting yet good and refreshing. Every few months I go to see what new flavors they have, much different than other parts of the world but same western prices. This location has decent seating, I don't know about the wifi cuz I got my drink and went directly home.

The staff here are the sweetest!! Been here a couple times during my stay, always the best service and drinks!

Good Starbucks location, located right on NR5 from Phnom Penh before you get in to the city. Nice service, clean, plenty of seatings. Plenty of parking space. Just a regular Starbucks, no reserve menu item. Some bakeries as well.

Starbucks franchise, except that in Cambodia you can notice the cultural touch, for the better, however if it is the type of coffee you like, go ahead!!!

The Fringe is one of the coolest spots in Battambang 🍴☕️ The café has a unique and cozy design, creating a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect whether you're looking to get some work done or simply unwind with a coffee. The menu offers a nice mix of Cambodian dishes and Western options, so there's something for everyone. The coffee is great, and the overall vibe makes it easy to spend a few hours here. What makes The Fringe even more special is that it's more than just a café — there's also a yoga studio and an art gallery to explore, giving the space a creative and community-focused feel. A must-visit in Battambang for good coffee, great vibes, and a unique local experience ✨

From the moment I walked in I was warmly greeted, shown to the back to dine in a beautiful green garden area with beautiful tables and comfortable seats. Given a menu where everything looked and sounded delicious! I ended up going with a local green curry with chicken, a fresh juice blend called Revitalize, and a side of kimchi. All three were absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be going back here 😋🙏🏼💛✨

The food is incredible! We ate here twice in one day as the food was so delicious. Highly recommend the veggie burger and the dirty farmer salad. So fresh! Felt nice to have some delicious healthy food. Also, the waiting staff are so lovely and attentive. The atmosphere is great also. Couldn’t recommend enough. Best food ever !!!

The Fringe is an amazing cafe in the center of town, offering so much more than their already delicious and healthy food. I participated in their new Kitchen Tales tour, an immersive experience bringing you to see a new side of Battambang, learn the stories of local street-food vendors, and taste special family recipes. Truly a thoughtful and well-crafted way to show Battambang town through a unique lens of food x people. The Fringe also offers sporty activities like yoga sessions or runs/walks around the park! Definitely recommend the yoga lessons (only $3) that focus on stretching and balance, before a refreshing meal or juice at the Fringe.

Delightful cafe and chill out space in the heart of Battambang! Visited on our first afternoon for food, and sat in the lovely outdoor space, but there is also seating available inside. Ordered the Nom pang special, and my partner had the stir fried eggplant. The Nom Pang was delicious, and tofu cooked expertly, with loads of filling and tasty sauces. The stir fried eggplant was also really good, although a little on the spicy side for my partner. Finished with their sweet treats in the form of flavoured sweet bites which were all lovely. We spent a good few hours here utilizing the wifi and if you had freetime in the area, they also have a range of books and board games available for use. Good value and wonderful service from the staff throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would recommend!

Really lovely little place. I came here twice during my trip, once for western food when I was very hungover and craving a sandwich and once for local food and both were great. The French bread/baguette here with tuna is really good and crispy which seems to be hard to find in Cambodia. The noodles with beef and fried egg were really filling and had lots of fresh vegetables. Very comfy, lovely service and nice and quiet to relax a bit.

good dishes with nice ingredients. i got bruschetta it was perfect and i got the lasagne. it came with side salad and few pieces of garlic bread. nicely packaged to go, see photos. lasagne flavor was pretty good and the cheese was very fragrant and overpowering for me i wouldn't get it again. next time i will try something pesto or ម្ហូបខ្មែរ instead. they have a very wellstocked bar for anyone wanting to drink more than just beer.

Having looked for places with good reviews we decided on this place. With a menu of both Western and Khmer dishes, there was a lot of choice. We tried the fried eggplant with pork and rice and, on the recommendation of a gentleman at the bar, also ordered the lasagna. We were glad we did because it was excellent. Very flavourful with quality ingredients and nicely cooked pasta sheets. The fried eggplant was delicious too. Prices were reasonable, staff were friendly, and all round satisfying experience and we may well return. NB: We did return and had the pasta aglio e olio and the beef chopsteak and fries. The pasta was absolutely delicious, cooked al dente and so flavourful for such a simple dish. The chopsteak was similar to the hamburger steak you get in Japan. Essentially two bunless burgers, with a sauce served on top. It was also good. I've been so impressed with the Italian dishe

I had really great time here. Met a lot of locals and some people from Europa. Owner is cool guy and he has really good friends. Food was delicious.

Good restaurant serving both Cambodian and Western food. Ice cold beers and good French wine available by the glass. Coffee and tea also. Manger is Cambodian but speaks good English and a little French. I’ve been here a few times over a number of years when I visit Battambang. Nice atmosphere, background music and very clean tables and toilet facilities. Good free WiFi. Breakfast, lunch or dinner the food is made fresh which is what I enjoy. Single people like me, couples or large groups all seem to go there, but i guess best to warn them before if you have a very large group.

It's a great place to enjoy contemporary Cambodian art. This is the artspace of four resident artists. It includes a permanent exhibition with artworks of those four artists and a temporary exhibition of local artists. The artspace is the first and only museum of modern art in Cambodia. Some artworks are for sale. Upstairs is a lovely cafe with delicious healthy food and drinks.

Cafe: food and drinks are really good, have a good variety of everything, even you can try some fusions of flavours! Service is professional and super kind! If you spend at least 8 usd at the cafeteria, you can have a free access to the museum. Museum: Really nice and the receptionist guy will tell you everything that you need to know and also he is managing the lights between the rooms. The artworks are mostly paintings and wooden sculptures and definitely a worth to visit! Normal entrance fee: 5 usd

This place is just perfect. I use to live in Battambang for more than a year and now that I am back in my home town Barcelona I really mis this place. It is quiet, full of art and plants, made with very good taste. There is aircon so you can relax from the hot weather, the waiters are super nice and the atmosphere helps you to relax or work as I use to do. The coffee is excellent. As a foreigner leaving in Battambang I truly recommend this place.

What an amazing space which combines an art gallery featuring local artists + coffee shop on the top floor (with a great view of a Buddhist pagoda temple). This spot was THE hidden gem in Battambang and definitely one of the highlights of my trip (much better than the central market for example). Their coffee latte was excellent (they serve non dairy milks) + the art exhibition was a great way to understand their tragic history through modern art. I highly recommend you go!! Also with the $5 entrance fee, your really do support a local non profit community which has done this amazing work!

This art gallery and cafe has contemporary Cambodian artists on display in their permanent collection and a small exhibition of works for sale. A small well curated gift shop has books, prints, and scarves. Cafe is a lovely rooftop and garden space. Unfortunately no photos are allowed of the exhibited works.
