Dinner and a show, Phnom Penh style - Chea, the guide, was phenomenal. Great way to get a custom tour of Phnom Penh with all the food and drink you care to enjoy. The cool refreshing towels between stops were a dream. Loved wrapping up the tour on a rooftop terrace bar overlooking the Russian Market with a chilled cocktail. Great experience, amazingly fresh and tasty cuisine, and the stories and cultural nuances as explsined by Chea made it all the worthwhile. Thank you

Authentic - Genuine khmer food tour with best guide. - Chea was an amazing guide for our first visit to Cambodia. We loved sharing food and stories with him. We learned alot about the local food as well as hear about Chea’s perspectives on the food and what he grew up eating and enjoying. I felt we got a real taste of authentic khmer cuisine. He truly MADE the tour!!! Kathy

Great intro to Cambodian cuisine and people - We loved our time with Chea- sooo much food, many laughs, and we learned so much about the history of food in Cambodia and it made the experience that much more meaningful. Felt like we were meeting an old friend for dinner in Phnom Penh :) food was great and authentic but seemed to be prepared safely for tourists.

Best food experience in PP - After visiting Phnom Penh regularly for the last four years, we thought we had seen it all - until we met Chea. This food tour was easily one of the coolest and most memorable experiences we've had in Phnom Penh. Chea introduced us to the REAL hidden gems one could not find on google and incredible local flavors that we never would have discovered on our own. Every stop offered something delicious and deeply rooted in local culture and Khmer cuisine history. Chea is knowledgeable, gentle, and clearly passionate about food and connecting with people. Thank you!

A wonderful experience - We had an absolutely brilliant food tour with Lost Plate in Phnom Penh. Our guide, Vy, gave us a lot of information about Cambodian food culture. She explained all of the dishes, how they were prepared, cooked and the correct way to eat them. She was charming and polite, and her English is excellent. We can highly recommend this food tour if you are staying in Phnom Penh.

A great introduction to Phnom Penh on a plate! - Great introduction to Phnom Penh city and allowed us to get well oriented. The restaurants were all excellent ( especially Eleven One) and we'll certainly go back to some during our stay. Our guide Chea was excellent, full of enthusiasm and gave us a great insight into Cambodian life in general. Highly recommended!

Great introduction to Phnom Penh and its food scene - We've done lots of food tours over the years and this is one of the best. Our guide Chea was excellent, giving us the background to all the dishes. The stops were mainly in restaurants, and not street food ( except for the excellent pork ribs) and all warrant a return visit. Chea gave us a locals insight into life in Phnom Penh and Cambodia's modern history.All in all a great evening discovering Phnom Pehn and its food scene. Highly recommended.
