The Rivera - Kampot

Kampot is a little magical place with a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The town is quiet but full of great restaurants offering delicious food. Nearby attractions like Bokor National Park and La Plantation are definitely worth visiting. Locals are kind and welcoming, and the riverside boardwalk is beautiful, especially at sunset. At night, the area comes alive with food trucks, small bars, and a nice lively vibe while still keeping its charm.

The Kampot Seahorse Statue is a beautiful riverside landmark and a great place to take photos. It looks especially stunning at night with its colorful lights and is a must-visit when exploring Kampot.

Great landmark of Kampot town, 2nd to the great durian circle. This is a place that comes to mind to you think of coming to Kampot. Located by the great lake of Kampot town, the local people and tourists alike like to take their stunning selfie photos after their refreshing morning exercise. This is a great place come l, to see, to embrace, and to relax for any first time tourist. 😍🥰 Stay a few minutes to get nice view of the lake surrounded by mountains and city buildings; feel the breezy coast and breathe in the fresh natural air.

Sea Hours statue is stunning icon of Kampot town on the riverfront. Pleasant walking experience along the riverfront for 2 KM. Plenty of charming locals, tourist, kids, beach, beautiful light decoration, coffee shops. Kampot has own laid back vibrant and this riverfont add more to that. I enjoyed an hour walk along the riverside till railway bridge and became wonderful evening in the town.

Nothing special . But I Iike this place .Night life is good in Kampot and you can enjoy foods . Don't go near this monument. The water will come towards you.

A truly lovely place. The staff are all so friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and the food is great. We ate here every day we stayed in Kampot! Would definitely recommend and it's all for a great cause. Ps. Definitely order the carrot cake :)

A great cafe with an amazing concept! The staff is so nice and very attentive, food is really good and fresh and they have amazing pastry’s! I had the Panini, the Bruschetta and a Vanilla Cheesecake and everything was so good! Besides that you support their NGO with every visit. Would definitely recommend a visit at epic arts cafe when in Kampot :)

amazing food spot. we came for lunch and got the tofu korean bagel and the blt and both were delicious. all fresh ingredients and they make the bagels in house. very good value and funds education and training for children and people with disabilities in kampot. the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice and chilled. great spot!

A very cozy and heartwarming place in Kampot 💛 Epic Arts Café is not just a café, but a social project that provides jobs and opportunities for people with disabilities. You can truly feel the care and purpose behind everything they do. The staff are very friendly, the service is well organized (with a convenient order form), and the coffee and food are fresh and delicious. It’s especially meaningful to know that every purchase supports such an important initiative. If you’re in Kampot, definitely visit this café. It’s a place where you can enjoy great food and also make a positive difference. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We enjoyed a fantastic breakfast here this morning. I had a Mediterranean Panini and side salad which was tasty, fresh and light. Definitely one of the better breakfasts we’ve had in Kampot. Highly recommend.

Great place for authentic homemade pasta. It’s not a traditional restaurant but a small setup in someone’s home, which gives it a unique and personal atmosphere. The pasta is truly homemade (no machine), and you can taste the difference. The gnocchi were perfectly soft and delicate, and the sauce was excellent. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. A couple of things to keep in mind: portions could be a bit more generous, and the location is quite remote, so it can be difficult to get a Grab back. It’s better to have your own scooter and be independent. Also, they only accept cash.

The Italian owner (Diego) really knows how to cook. It’s super authentic freshly made pasta using an old school manual pasta machine. He cooks it right from his home so it has a nice homely feel. We went during the low season so overall the country isn’t so busy so we were always served immediately. I highly recommend coming here especially if you’ve got a long SEA trip ahead of you. Food was so good we went twice while in Kampot. Check the opening times as well so you know when to arrive!

The freshest, most delicious pasta I have ever had, having never been to Italy. The setting is a patio overlooking beautiful farm land, where all of the herbs and other ingredients are harvested directly from. Even the actual pasta is made from scratch on order!

The food is absolutely incredible, truly authentic Italian food- the definition of a hidden gem! The owner Diego from Italy is amazing and so sweet, you can taste the passion for Italian food in his cooking! Went here twice during my short stay in kampot and hope to be back again for more of the homemade pesto, gnocchi & ravioli!!

Absolute gem of a place to find, with a friendly owner/chef, in the beautiful countryside of Kampot. I’ve been in Cambodia for a couple of months and have loved the Khmer food but to have traditional homemade Italian food was an absolute treat too. I’ve seen other reviews where people have said about having to wait, but it needs to be kept in mind that the food is being prepared and cooked fresh with one person…I personally felt it was worth the wait and highly recommend you visit. Can’t wait to visit again that’s for sure!!

Very decent barbecue dishes. Good pulled pork, very good ribs. The fries are lovely because unusual, but rather oily. The selection of sauces is absolutely average. The waitress really made my visit here a better experience by being friendly and welcoming. The location is right on the river, just like another half a hundred other restaurants and bars. For barbecued meats in Kampot, I'd recommend this place.

What a shame, after giving this place glowing previous reviews, we used to love the food, the owner and the atmosphere, but now it’s all changed, badly… Food standards, that we shouted from the rooftops about, have really gone downhill, have a look at last nights once amazing Mac & Cheese for example, not even Mac, microwave pasta bows in a messy lump, cheap cheese, we are so disappointed honestly, we could never wait to come back, but now we won’t be back. At 10pm the staff started turning the lights out, we were still eating, only served the food about 15 mins before, told they’d put in a takeaway for us or throw it away but we couldn’t finish there, rude too, wow! I won’t go on about the rest of the food we ate (or tried to eat) last night (dry pulled pork, lumpy mash, watery gravy), safe to say the overall food standards have dropped considerably, check back on our previous very good

I don't want to overstate or exaggerate, but the food here sets a new standard for me when it comes to BBQ.....cooked and prepared to perfection. Delicious. I ate there on 2 separate occasions.

This restaurant was wow!! I got a pulled pork sandwich super crispy fries coleslaw and a can of sprite for 8.50$ and it was worth every last penny ! Omg Devine a selection of sauces to choose from aswell and really fills you up as the portions are very generous If your looking the best meal in town it’s got to be this place amazing service aswell 😝

Great experience! The owner Ryan was an absolute legend, would highly recommend if you’re on the river and need some good authentic American grub! The mash and gravy was a real good touch for me!

One of the most relaxing massage I’ve had! We got the aromatherapy & face- it was so good, I couldn’t help but fall asleep. Great space, good service, free tea and drinks at the start and end of the massage. Will go again.

I had the opportunity to visit Golden Hands Spa in Kampot – and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine kindness. The receptionist greeted me warmly and offered a refreshing cup of lemon tea, setting a calm tone for the visit. My massage therapist began by gracefully cleaning my feet, a thoughtful touch that made me feel cared for straight away. The spa itself has a fresh fragrance and beautifully inviting décor, with a serene, Bali-like atmosphere that makes you feel instantly comfortable. Once inside the treatment room, you can even adjust the air conditioning to your preference, which shows how attentive they are to guests’ comfort. The massage was truly wonderful. My therapist was humble, professional, and radiated a positive, calming energy. It felt like more than just a massage – it was a remedy for the soul. 💆 A small but important note: it’s a

We had really nice khmer massage there they did very good job . But the old lady at the front desk she was very rude by dropping the calculator on her desk coz she was angry that we told her that the bill wasn’t correct . Maybe she needs to learn how to control her emotions and learned to accept her own mistakes . Overall we love the place and the massage services.

AMAZING Khmer massage! Although I wish there was a hole to put our head through (like most massage beds) as I felt my neck felt tight being elevated on a pillow. The place is clean, offers private room , professional service , lovely staff and the price was decent. I also appreciate they take payment via card, as it seems most places in Kampot we visited did not. The overall experience from when we arrived and left felt very nurturing. If I stayed longer in Kampot, I would’ve gone again.

One of the best massages we’ve had. The place was spotless, peaceful, and welcoming. The massage was amazing from start to finish, and we were so impressed that we returned for a second visit. Definitely worth a visit!

I had a traditional Khmer massage with Leak, and it was absolutely amazing! 🙌 It was done without oil, which made it a completely different and unique experience. Leak is an excellent therapist, and I felt so cared for throughout the session. Highly recommend!

My husband and I got a foot & leg massage — it was amazing! You guys have magic hands 🙌🏼 The complementary tea was a lovely touch, and the staff were so friendly. Thanks again! 💆🏻‍♀️🫖

I don’t understand why this place has such good reviews. The place is rundown, the airco has not been cleaned in years, as we both had a cold after the experience. And I usually do not want to say a bad thing about Khmer staff, and I won’t now, but there is massage skill and there is Bali. both are opposites. Do clean up your act before more clients will start writing bad reviews.

Looking for the perfect 4hand massage? This is it. I have tried many places, not only in Cambodia. Seldom is it well synchronized but it is here! At a very affordable price. Highly, highly recommend. Dilan + Sopheak, I will be back tomorrow ;) Lucky me!

I went in with pain in my shoulder and neck, left with pain in my shoulder and neck still. Went for the neck shoulder back massage, thinking it would resolve the problem. It did not. If you're looking for a back rub and not back neck and shoulder massage, this is the place for you. Yes there is a language barrier but even showing the area visually and saying harder did not seem to help. The use of oil is an additional price as well. So paid $22 for nothing. The room was cold as well. I didn't think I'd pay for someone to do the exact 3 same, no pressure movements for 90 minutes work. Would not recommended.

The best place for veggie food!! Huge portions, beautiful decor, really nice vibe! We keep going back

Best vegetarian restaurant in Kampot. I ordered brinjal starter and rice bowl for main. Both were delicious. The ambiance and food is simple and straight forward. I love the concept.

This place is amazing! We had the vegan burger and crispy tofu wrap. Both were phenomenal, big portions and so tasty.

Before I had arrived in Kampot, I had already spotted some vegan friendly restaurants on Maps to try out during my 3 day stay here- this was the first on my list and after my freaking amazing 1st dinner here, became the last restaurant I actually visited on my list, as I tried out as many dishes as possible from the varied menu, not going anywhere else! I have been vegan for 10 years and travelling through south east asia for months and this is just amazing food in a great atmosphere with great music playlists, a very friendly and great service and absolutely perfectly and with lots of love to detail cooked food. 10/10 I am coming back when I visit Kampot again - I highly recommend the tofu wrap and the french toast - homemade wrap dough and bread, I love it !!! Thanks Andrei 😊👍👍👍

Awesome place, buy disappointed with the tofu wrap. Honestly, it was like eating a huge salad sandwich lacking flavour. I know that there are tastier goodies on the menu, so I'll go back and give it another try. Thanks for the experience 😄

Was pleasantly surprised and delighted by Vanna. I ordered squid green pepper, was well cooked and full of flavour. I then had the vanilla icecream with pineapple, sugar plum and paprika. In my mind a weird combination but everything worked so well together. The owner was lovely , overall a great experience!

Best food I ate in Cambodia, every dish tasted amazing, was beautifully presented and reasonably priced. Fantastic service too and great atmosphere. I highly recommend the Beef Saraman - it melts in your mouth.

I fell in love with your chicken avocado salad, and it’s great that you offer both larger and smaller portions of it. The rice with chicken was quite tasty, and it didn’t contain any flavor enhancers. My friend had the chicken (Vanna chicken), but she found the sauce a bit too sour. I def recommend this restaurant 👌

Everything about Vanna is 10/10. The charming French owner spent time tirelessly walking me through the extensive menu in order for me to find the right dish. I ordered pan- fried chicken breast with a special sauce and potatoes. Who knew that potatoes could be cooked so well and taste so good? The chicken was cooked to perfection and the unusual sauce was just sublime. I ordered a pineapple and ice cream desert. It also came with a few unexpectedly delightful twists. The best food I’ve eaten in Cambodia- hands down. I shall be back tonight! Thank you ❤️

Best fried shrimps ever!! Chicken satay was also amazing! The ice cream+palm sugar+grilled pineapple is quite literally life changing!
