Pindaya Farm House: "Excellent warm and cozy boutique hotel with amazing food!"

Review by: TalEven | Source: Trip Advisor
"My wife and I stayed at Thahara in Pindaya on our last night in Myanmar. What a delightful end to such an enjoyable trip. Thahara is situated on a private farmhouse, providing such a warm and cozy feeling to guests. The hosts were very gracious and warm. The views of the surrounding fields - especially during sunset and sunrise - are breathtaking. The host family prepares delicious meals and use produce and herbs from their garden, taking ""farm to table"" to a whole new level. The food was absolutely spectacular, as not only is it so fresh, but the hosts are amazing cooks. The rooms were all modern and in great condition. We highly recommend staying here!"

The Tiger’s Eye: "Not to be missed!"

Review by: VinK84 | Source: Trip Advisor
This is probably my favourite restaurant in Phnom Penh. The cocktails were sensational and each course was flawless. The staff knew the menu well and were super professional. This place is very much "on trend" and if you're in Phnom Penh, it's not to be missed. Yummmmmm!!

Mie Cafe: "I would return to Siem Reap just to eat here again! Top, top food!!"

Review by: Troubleonline | Source: Trip Advisor
"In short I absolutely loved this restaurant and the food we ate here!! For me our meal here was one the highlights of Siem Reap - possibly better than battling the crowds at some of the temples! In fact it was 7 months ago but I cannot forget how good it was. Probably one of the best meals I ate anywhere this year or ever in SE Asia. Lovely building (traditional wooden house) set in a nice garden. We caught a taxi to get there as was a little out of town but really not far and definitely worth the 5 or so minute ride. We shared starters including yummy scallops but the highlight was the marinated frogs legs that were served perched around the most deliciously garlicky wild mushroom tart. Heaven on a plate! I had the most amazing grilled king or tiger prawns drizzled with curry sauce and rice crackers whilst hubby had their infamous pork ribs with french fries. I wasn't wild about the ribs but hubby loved them and preferred them to my prawns. So happily there was less sharing on that course. For dessert I had Mango Banana Sombai made with the local sombai liquer - looked like mush but tasted divine - no sharing! Hubby had chocolate cake with ice cream. We also had a lovely bottle of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc (Anakena) and I think a cocktail and beer to start. A must go for foodies who appreciate well made food! Would recommend eating slightly earlier than we did as it closes at 9.15pm and was a little quiet by the time we arrived for our 8pm reservation and empty when we left. A 7pm may have been better. Book in advance so you do not miss! Only disconcerting part was eating the delicious frog legs against what I think was the sound of frogs croaking in the garden although we could swear their calls dropped whilst we ate them ;-)"

Manda De Laos: "Tasty of Lao Royal Authentic cuisine with nature view of Heritage Lotus Pond"

Review by: Philayvanh V | Source: Trip Advisor
The food at Manda de Laos was super great and amazing, nice ambiance with friendly service by lovely staffs at the restaurant. I think the price is suitable on what you get. If I have chance to visit Luang Prabang, I definitely go back to this place. Lastly, I love banana ice cream :)

Rachamankha: "A haven of peace and tranquillity"

Review by: Marini K | Source: Trip Advisor
"Simply stunning hotel - design, decoration and the gardens. All these coupled with the good service made our experience an exceptional one. Breakfast at the beautiful courtyard was a great start to each day. And dinner at the hotel restaurant was accompanied by live lanna music - soothing and relaxing. Would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wishes to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. We will be back!"

Blackitch Artisan Kitchen: "Amazing Chef’s Table experience"

Review by: Tiffany T | Source: Trip Advisor
"Had no idea what to expect when we booked this restaurant, and not knowing even made it better. We almost left because we didn't know where the restaurant was, we entered the bar adjacent and they said it was next door but next door was a gelato place which was closed. Blackitch was above this gelato place but we felt weird entering a closed shop. Luckily as we were about to leave, a lady came out and let us in, led us up into this quaint and small space. It was the restaurant and it would only fit about 12 people (2 tables and a bar area) making it super intimate. The food consisted of a 9-course set menu which is meticulously prepared by the Chef who comes out to explain each course. It changes all the time and his philosophy is very farm-to-table, local, nose-to-mouth cooking. His cooking ideals are admirable and we would definitely go back to try the other dishes he comes up with as the dishes were delicious (lots of Thai flavors fused with other cuisines). A meal for 4 of us cost around 7000 baht with drink and corkage as be bought a bottle of wine along."

Rachamankha: "Beautiful, boutique hotel, don’t expect 5 bars, a gym & 3 restaurants"

Review by: Vietnamvera | Source: Trip Advisor
A gem of a hotel, hidden away down a side lane in the old city. No noise, 24hr security & an architectural wonder of Thai design. Rooms with covered walkways are all built round open courtyards with paths, palm & oleander trees & pots, joining them to different areas of the hotel. The pool area is beautifully maintained & the library has an old colonial feel with many interesting subjects to browse, particularly travel & architecture. Our room was quiet, spacious, spotlessly clean, with an excellent shower & lovely Moulton Brown toiletries. Breakfast was taken outside or in, waiter served with choices cooked to order. Very relaxing compared to the pandemonium of buffet breakfasts experienced elsewhere. Restaurant evening meals delicious & beautifully presented. Would definitely return & recommend.

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Indian Paradise"

Review by: Quentin C | Source: Trip Advisor
"We spent 4 days at neeleshwar hermitage and everything was perfect. The service is amazing with nice and ever smiling staff. The beach restaurant is incredible: picture a few table scattered below coconut trees and looking out on the Indian ocean. Food is fresh, delicate and flavourful. Special mention for the breakfast that combines all the above. Difficult to imagine what could be improved!"
