Location
Set right on Riverside Road in Kampot, Sabay Beach Restaurant & Cocktail Bar occupies a spot facing the river with mountain views and a front-row seat to the sunset. The menu spans breakfast through dinner, mixing Khmer dishes like lok lak and vegetable curry with international plates and cocktails, and the space is split between a downstairs area right on the water and upstairs seating for meals. A few resident cats, including kittens at times, wander the grounds.
Visitors repeatedly single out the food quality and consistency, with the chocolate fondant and duck spring rolls mentioned by name as standouts, alongside dishes like the Healthy Hippie breakfast bowl and the coconut-based Khmer curry. Cocktails, particularly the honey crush, and a well-regarded wine list come up often, and portions, including a generous fruit dessert, are described as generous. Service is consistently called attentive and friendly. The one dissenting note concerns the scallops, described as underwhelming next to the rest of the menu, and a couple of reviewers flag that prices sit above average for Kampot, though they felt the quality backed it up.
This is a place best timed around sunset, when the riverside and mountain views are at their best, whether for a cocktail downstairs or a full dinner upstairs. It opens early enough for breakfast and runs through to 10 PM daily except Sunday, when hours are unspecified, so it is worth checking ahead if planning a Sunday visit. It suits couples looking for a date-night setting, travellers wanting a relaxed riverside meal, and anyone happy to pay a bit more for cocktails and Khmer-international dishes done well.

This restaurant was absolutely amazing! I was in the area for two days and ended up eating here twice—breakfast the first day and lunch the next—because every dish I had was so delicious I wanted to try others. The service was great: attentive, friendly, and welcoming. My favorite dish was the Healthy Hippie, which really stood out. The atmosphere was extra charming with a couple of cats roaming around (and even some kittens!). This restaurant was a highlight of my trip.

Amazing food and views! I still can’t get over how good the food was! You need to try the chocolate fondant, it’s honestly the best Ive ever had! I’ll definitely be back ❤️

Wonderful place for cocktails and dinner along the riverfront at sunset in Kampot! Came a little before sunset and sat in the downstairs area right on the front for drinks. Cocktails were incredible, especially the honey crush! Then moved upstairs for food and got aubergine Lok Lak, pepper tofu, and vegetable Khmer curry, each of which came with rice included. All were really tasty, and highlight for us was probably the Khmer curry with a fragant, rich coconut-based sauce. Very generous portion of seasonal fruit for dessert alongside another few drinks with the meal. Plenty of seating space, location a bit out of the main town but easy to get there on a tuk-tuk. A few mosquitos about so worth putting on some repellent beforehand. All things included, good value and highly recommend a visit!

Our favourite restaurant in Kampot! We’d go back for that duck spring roll (the best!!). We expected so much from the scallops but it was mid. The duck is delicious and juicy. All the cocktails are lovely and they have a good selection of wine. I’m also a crazy fan of their chocolate fondant cake!! Staffs were friendly and skilled - and the cats are too cute and polite 😊
★★★★★
Great view of the mountains over the river and perfectly faces sunset. Cocktails and onion rings were great. It's not cheap, but the quality justifies the prices. Great place for a date night.
