Great hotel, Hit and miss food - Edit
We stayed at the hotel and ate at the cafe several times. Great having a vegan restaurant on site. In terms of the hotel, the basic double room was good, simply decorated, vegan toiletries. The pool was nice to use to cool down in. The library was a nice addition, alongside the art gallery. There was a flea market on here one of the days, which was good but the staff did not inform us about & could have impacted on us eating there potentially as it took over the whole space. The hotel staff were ok, not informative or that friendly; in contrast with the cafe staff who were very friendly. The food was a bit hit and miss- some of it was great (pancakes, amok), some fine and some not good (burger, pizza). Overall probably best to stick to breakfast food and Khmer food

Delicious dishes and generous portions! - Edit
The pumpkin tofu amok was super flavourful with lots of mushroom and coconut cream. I also got a chocolate cupcake that was generously sized and struggled to finish everything. Come hungry!! The outdoor seating is peaceful and spacious with lots of trees and plants. It’s the perfect space to hang out for an afternoon. The staff are very friendly and accommodating even for the most detailed orders.

Delicious food, amazing space, ruined by smoking - Edit
I would have without doubt given this place a five-star rating, because it has everything you could want.
Read moreThe food is really, really good, and the menu is extensive. The restaurant itself is beautiful, mostly set in this very leafy garden that's part of the guesthouse, and it has a small library of books for you to peruse as you eat. The staff are all really, really friendly. And beyond that, the restaurant exists for a good cause.
The reason for my apprehension, is that despite 'No smoking' signs being on some, or possibly all of the tables, they tolerate smoking, to the point of giving people ashtrays when they light a cigarette.
On multiple times I came here and was happily enjoying sitting in the garden, having some food while reading a book, only for some doorknob to sit-down at the table next to me and light a cigarette.
It truly bemuses me why they'd create such a beautiful space, and allow people to ruin it, when they could just as easily easily tell them to go out the front of the guesthouse to kill themselves.
Even the inside area is not immune as it's completely open, and when people start smoking at the tables just outside, despite their definitely being no smoking signs on those tables, the smoke wafts in.
So when you come here, it's pot-luck as to whether you enjoy it or not, because it all depends on who sits at the tables around you.
Pros: Really good food, Beautiful space, Friendly staff
Cons: Smoking is permitted

Hidden cozy restaurant - Edit
It was a bit hidden area that you need to go in to narrow alley way. The restaurant area is green and cozy. They have accommodations as well and so many books and menu. Drinks, Asian food, western food and dessert.

Lovely ambience and delicious food - Edit
Tucked away in a side street/alley next to a spa, this restaurant is by far one of my favorites in Phnom Penh. The beetroot falafel was delicious, the avocado spring rolls were incredible and passionfruit mango smoothie was great. There are no bad items on the menu! The ambience was lovely, there was outdoor seating near a bar and pool and also indoor (roofed but open to the outside) seating with cushions near a bookshelf area with ukuleles.

The best vegan pancakes, and possibly best-ever pancakes… - Edit
A lovely courtyard area underneath leafy trees to hide you from the hot Cambodian sun, with a small indoor area that reminds you of a library is where you eat. Only came for breakfast, but the scrambled tofu with refried beans plus a couple of the fluffiest pancakes really hit the spot. Will visit again if I return to PP.

Blown away - Edit
This place has incredible flavors. My friend and I were so happy to find this place. We got the black bean tacos and the increíble burger. Also a chai tea pot and tried one of the kombuchas. So nice. Everything! And I’m going back today to eat it for breakfast before we leave Phnom Penh.

Great space - Edit
A nice find in Phnomh Penh, sometimes whilst travelling you feel like some home comforts and this hit the spot. Smoothies, Coffee and Kombucha that reminded us of Australian cafe culture drinks, food was big portion size and delicious. Only downside was that it didnt accept card for payment.

very good breakfast - Edit
had the coconut and banana pancakes and they were so so tasty the syrup they came with was amazing. boyfriend had the chicken nugget burger which was good and a big portion although a little dry so had to add the ketchup on the side for the wedges, would be nice if they brought over more sauces etc but just a minor thing and i’m sure we could have asked more more. such a lovely setting just in a courtyard near a swimming pool with lots of plants, fairy lights strung up so im sure it looks very cute in the evening too. even had us looking up the price of the hotel as we wished we stayed there as it had such a chilled and lovely vibe.

Excellent - Edit
Enjoyed a delivery of black bean tacos and mushroom tofu stir fry. Both delicious and excellent portion sizes. Delivery in eco packaging and with bamboo cutlery which is good to see. One of the best vegan options in Phnom Penh for sure. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Setting & Delicious Vegan Delicacies - Edit
Bong Bonlai is a very cozy place, with lots of plants and flowers. It makes you feel that you are escaping some of the business of the city. The food is 100% vegan and most of the dishes are absolutely delicious and freshly made. I definitely recommend the tempeh skewers, the truffle pizza, the pancakes, the tofu scramble and the cheesecake :)
Read morePros: Beautiful setting, Delicious food, Friendly people
Cons: Not all staff speaks good English, Food can take some time (because freshly made)
