Phnom Penh: Le Bistrot at Institut Français

Phnom Penh: Le Bistrot at Institut Français

Centrally located Institut Français is not only a place to up your French language skills, but also a place to immerse yourself in French culture, including French food at Le Bistrot, which is the French cafe located at the institute garden.

Le Bistrot is serving delicious, authentic French food, at what appears to be subsidized prices (i.e. very affordable), and the cafe is very popular, especially with French expats.

The 2-course ($9.50) /3-course ($11.50) menus change weekly and offer particularly good value for money.

There is also a gallery at the institute location. See the Institut Français website for current exhibitions

Want to know what’s going on beyond the blog? My newsletter is where I share a more personal side of my life, the trips I’m planning, the recipes I’m cooking, and the everyday moments that don’t always make it to the blog. If you’d like to stay in the loop and get a first look at what’s happening at Mitzie Mee, I’d love for you to join.

Mitzie Mee - Sanne

Welcome to my Cambodia blog. I’ve been to Cambodia many times over the years, and it’s a country I keep coming back to. Not just because of the incredible food and fascinating places to visit, but also because I’ve met some truly special people who, over the years, have become close friends. On my Cambodia blog, I’m sharing my favorite restaurants, cafés, and local food experiences, along with the places and moments that have stayed with me long after each trip. You’ll find posts from Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and other parts of Cambodia, including Takeo, where I’ve spent a lot of time and experienced a side of the country that most visitors never get to see. Whether you’re planning your first trip to Cambodia or you already know the country well, I hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration, along with practical tips to help you plan your own visit.
