Très belle découverte de cette place & de la cuisine cambodgienne! De l'ambiance globale à la qualité de la nourriture, en passant par la déco & les cocktails, nous avons passé un excellent moment! Nous étions assis au comptoir chef: un plaisir pour les yeux & l'envie de revenir pour goûter à l'entièreté du menu 🤩
Nous avons partagé 4 plats à deux ainsi que le dessert du moment: parfait! Le personnel est très aidant pour les novices & apporte les plats au fur & à mesure afin que nous profitions au mieux de notre expérience.

J'ai beaucoup aimé l'os à moelle accompagné du bouillon & du beignet. C'est une cuisine très savoureuse & inventive. On étaient assises au bar & le serveur/barman était vraiment sympathique & ses cocktails parfaitement exécutés. On a eu beaucoup de fun en partie grâce à lui !
First of all, the service is exceptional. Staff is over the top friendly & knows their menu inside out. Went with some of their recommendations & was not disappointed.
Prepare to spend a little more than you'd think - & it's justified. Each dish popped with flavour at the exception of the Nataing. I was expecting to get more curry coming through with a fuller richness with the pork belly, but it sort of fell flat for me. On the other hand, the Bok Lahong was incredible & fresh, & the spicy fried chicken & Fried Cod were standout dishes to us. Cocktails were great as well.
The place has a slight upscale feel, with some hipster vibes.
Check it out for some Cambodian inspired cuisine with a twist.
We had two coconut based curry (fried cod with amok sauce & samlor cari khmer) & I found them overly sweet. They offer only a few vegan options which are average. The yuzu pandan drink tasted only yuzu & the pandan part is a piece of leaf inside as decor yet Lucy Liu cocktail is not bad. Last, beef tartare quality is unstable same as their service attitude. Overall not my cup of tea.
+: Cuisine absolument délicieuse. Cocktail extra. Bon rapport qualité-prix.
-: Service un peu lent & restaurant extrêmement bruyant. Parking pas facile dans le quartier.

Le ceviche de crevettes au wasabi est excellent! Bel endroit toujours plein. J'adore m'asseoir au bar & discuter avec les membres de l'équipe. Les cocktails sont délicieux! Ils offrent même un menu spécial pour différentes occasions.
Belle ambiance! La serveuse a été de bon conseil & très agréable. Très bel endroit. Nous y retournerons. 100$ pour 2 cocktails, 2 entrées & un plat principal.

The Yuzu Snooze Yuzu loose gin cocktail was delicious-fresh & nicely tangy. We loved it.
We shared three dishes between the two of us & it was more than enough. The papaya salad was fresh & crunchy, followed by the squid, which was perfectly tender & just as good.
We then had the fried rice special with Hokkaido scallops-four large scallops served with a really tasty lemony sauce on the side.
For dessert, we shared the dessert of the day: a tapioca pudding with pumpkin & chantilly on top (we asked for it without cinnamon). It was light, sweet, & a great way to end the meal.
Service was efficient & friendly. & our waiter knew how to explain the menu & the ingredients perfectly.

Notre première fois à ce restaurant, mais clairement pas la dernière! Tout nous a plu, l'ambiance, le service, les cocktails & surtout la nourriture. Nous étions 4 & avons commandé 8 plats que nous avons partagé.
Le serveur les apporte quelques uns à la fois, dans une séquence parfaite. Nous avons tout aimé, mais notre plat préféré était la morue dans une sauce au cari & au lait de coco.
Mention honorable au poulet frit, au calmar au poivre, brochettes de boeuf, ceviche de crevettes au wasabi & à la salade de papaye.
Un restaurant à essayer pour les saveurs & l'originalité !
The food here is excellent. While the portions are on the smaller side, the quality is outstanding & every dish is packed with flavor. We went for a date night & really enjoyed the atmosphere. The vibe was relaxed, the music wasn't too loud, & it made for an easy, enjoyable evening.
We ordered the papaya salad, spicy fried chicken, stuffed wings, & two cocktails. The papaya salad & fried chicken were my favorites, while my husband loved the stuffed wings. Although the prices are a bit high for the portion sizes, the taste & quality made it feel worth it. The cocktails were delicious as well, & I'm definitely looking forward to coming back.
A great Cambodian culinary experience 🇰🇭 cozy & nice place for a date or just a night out . The food is yummy from the wasabi to kebab. The cocktails are just wow ,Miss Cambodgienne is my fav 😍 ,Lucy Lui is also great & they have an spicy mojito, just perfect .
Had a great time. Food & cocktails brilliant as always. Disappointed the Lamb chops not on the menu anymore, me & my mates, specifically came in yesterday for those.
This was my second time there & once again it was a delectable experience! If you can handle the wasabi, I highly recommend the shrimp ceviche!!! The Amok cod is so delicious & a little cocktail- the main squeeze- just rounds it all off!!
Had one of the most memorable meals of the year at Les street monkeys. I highly recommend trying their seasonal items as everything is fresh & flavourful. Every dish was unique, saucy, full of flavour & highly enjoyable. The best dish of the night had to be the NATAING (seasonal dish: porc) but the fried chicken was memorable. I loved my cocktail (2ND BASE ON THE STREET) with notes of coconut & pandan. I can easily say it was one of the best coconut cocktails i've ever had. Impeccable service, nice ambiance & decor.
Mon conjoint & moi avons adoré notre expérience à ce resto! Très bon service, bonne ambiance & la nourriture est excellente! C'était pendant l'événement Mtl à Table & nous avons partagé toute la sélection des plats! Chaque plat était SUCCULENT!!!!!! J'ai aussi pris un cocktail qui était DÉLICIEUX!
Je vais retourner à ce restaurant c'est certain!
