  As a Street 308 staple, Piccolo Italia da Luigi, or Luigi’s as it is affectionately known, helped
  spark the lane’s trend. Since opening in 2013, people from far and wide have flocked to the
  restaurant to sample what can undoubtedly take the crown as Phnom Penh’s best pizza.
  Again a staunch favourite on the street, the restaurant is often filled to the brim with diners
  packed around tables and chairs to feast on the mouth-wateringly good pizzas before them.

  Sitting at the far end of Street 308 is Lemon Tree, a quaint, colourfully converted Khmer-
  style wooden house that now serves as a casual restaurant, cafe and bar. With shaded
  tropical gardens sitting at the front, diners can sit outside or on the comfy sofas on the
  ground floor. The menu covers salads, sandwiches and shared tapas boards. And in keeping
  with the quirky vibe, most of the furnishings are made from recycled goods. Take the
  outside tables, which are made from battered telecommunications wire spools that sit on
  hefty Khmer earthenware jars delivering a very stylish, modern flair.

Diners can expect a wide selection of modern French and Royal Cambodian cuisine in a
refined and elegant atmosphere. The brilliant lotus and honeysuckle blossom-painted ceiling
is based on the Dance Pavilion at the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, commissioned by His
Majesty King Sihanouk and painted by renowned Cambodian artist, Asasax. Very few
people get the chance to dine with Cambodian royalty, but Restaurant Le Royal is a close
second in many ways. For that special occasion, reserve the Private Dining Room or the
Crystal Room to entertain in royal splendour.
