Twenty Three, a European restaurant on East Street

What kind of restaurant it is

Twenty Three sits at the more polished end of Kampot's eating scene. The menu is modern European with international dishes alongside, and the produce is local and seasonal wherever possible. The setting is cosy and on a small scale, which suits a quiet dinner better than a big group night out.

The menu covers a lot of ground: breakfast, lighter bites and full evening meals. It is also written with different tastes and dietary needs in mind, so mixed groups should find something that works. If you have specific requirements, ask the staff when you order.

Why people rate it

The restaurant holds a 5-star rating on TripAdvisor, based on 224 reviews at the time the old listing was written. Ratings move, so check the current score before you go. The reviews come from both visitors and people who live in town, which is a useful sign in a place where many restaurants rely mainly on passing trade.

The emphasis on local sourcing is the other draw. Buying from nearby farmers keeps the menu tied to what is available, so expect dishes to change with the season rather than stay fixed.

Finding it

Twenty Three is on East Street in central Kampot. It is an easy walk from most guesthouses in the middle of town, and you can also arrive by car. A map link is listed on this page, which is the simplest way to pin the exact spot.

Practical tips

Because the dining room is intimate, it is sensible to contact the restaurant ahead if you are planning a special evening or travelling with several people. Opening hours and prices were not given in the source for this page, so confirm both through Facebook or in person.
