Malis Restaurant<\/span><\/h3>\nWith the aim of showcasing Cambodian cuisine in its glory days, Chef Luu Meng opened Malis Restaurant<\/a>. The first branch in Phnom Penh is already a huge success, with the one in Siem Reap growing in popularity. Start here to kick off your Southeast Asian adventure with a taste of authentic Khmer cuisine<\/strong>! Malis has an extensive menu and is renowned for its delicate traditional recipes with contemporary twists. We highly recommend getting a table at their al fresco garden<\/strong> where you can enjoy your meal with a great view of their water pond and regular Apsara dance performance.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"food](\"https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2_Malis-New-Menu_4-1024x683-300x200.jpg\")
