We had a fantastic breakfast experience at Market Café Restaurant & Lounge. The variety of dishes was impressive, with both local Khmer and international options. The French toast was absolutely amazing! it was perfectly cooked and had just the right balance of sweetness. The Khmer noodle soup was also a standout, with rich flavors and a delicious, hearty broth that truly captured the essence of local cuisine. The restaurant itself had a warm and inviting atmosphere, with plenty of seating and a great view of the surrounding area. It was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a leisurely breakfast before heading out to explore the city. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience, and I highly recommend it.
A huge thank you to Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh for making my father’s 75th birthday celebration truly unforgettable! The service was top-notch, and every little detail was thoughtfully taken care of. You helped make this milestone even more special, especially after the health scare he went through last January. Your care and dedication added so much joy to this meaningful day. We’ll definitely cherish this celebration forever—thank you for everything!
This is such a lovely place to enjoy dinner with family or your partner. We booked online for the seafood buffet dinner, and the whole experience was fantastic. The staff were attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. All the seafood was fresh and delicious, especially the prawns, salmon, and tuna sashimi. We were also welcomed with refreshing drinks, which was a nice touch. Just a heads-up, though—coffee and tea aren't included in the buffet. They also have a dress code, so slippers and singlets aren't allowed. When I made the reservation, I mentioned it was for our wedding anniversary, and to our surprise, one of the staff (I regret not catching her name) came over with a cake and wished us a happy anniversary. She even asked the singer to perform a love song for us, who then warmly wished us a happy anniversary too. Honestly, this year has been full of ups and downs for us, and this dinner felt like a much-needed healing moment. These small gestures may not seem like much, but they meant the world to us. We're so glad we chose to dine here and truly appreciate how welcomed and special we were made to feel. Thank you for the memorable evening!
Market Café Restaurant & Lounge offers a buffet experience that is both satisfying and memorable. I visited during a promotion (buy 1, get 1 free), which made it an excellent value for the quality and variety provided. For me I think if they don't do a promotion, I still think it good compare to the few other in phnom penh. And what I like is there is no time limit, so you can chill. For the food:a is impressive, with a wide range of dishes catering to diverse tastes. Each item is fresh, flavorful, and of great quality, showing the care and attention put into the preparation. Whether you're craving international cuisine or local favorites, there's something for everyone. I recommend the Crème Brûlée Dessert. it still in my mind now, it so creamy ( but I'm a little disappoint as well because they running out of it, because it too good) The environment is elegant and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for both casual outings and special occasions like dating. The staff enhances the experience with their attentive and friendly service, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. If you’re looking for a buffet that combines variety, quality, and great service, Market Café Restaurant & Lounge is definitely worth a visit—especially during promotions! If you never been there, I recommend to try it for once, and don't forget to do a booking. Edit: above review is about 3 months ago. And I check it out again around last week maybe 16 Mar 2025. Just like everybody said, this is a premium expensive luxury place at least try one in your life. But I didn't listen, I try two time. and the second experience ain't that Great. Food: everything are the same, nothing much new. The great thing that lead me to check this out for the second time is sea food. But this time sea food is not that Big, and when You bring it to a grill section, it turn out feeling like fish, Because they grill river fish in the same place. Ruin the flavour of sea food ( one thing that lead me to check it again). Service: Good, but only when I found them. if not you have a hard time calling them, since i don't know where they are, I see no one. the grill section again, they busy talking which is not grill the sea food, lead to me waiting. until the manager (maybe) come to check and see no sea food ready. Overall my second experience is ain't that Great. Like they say Try once in your life, but just one.
Market Café Restaurant & Lounge in Phnom Penh is a must-experience spot. The setup is serene, and the spread of food is excellent — from tasty Khmer dishes to a variety of fresh options. The almond croissant and fresh juices are a must-try! The spicy Khmer soup is good, though adding a bit of salt, pepper, and lemon would make it even better. Special thanks to Ms Theary and Mr Nan for their exemplary service — they truly made the experience memorable. Highly recommended!
