Magnolia’s a popular Vietnamese restaurant set in a classic Phnom Penh modernist villa.

A craving for Vietnamese food is never far away - even in Cambodia - and Magnolia is a good spot for a fix.

We’re big fans of Phnom Penh’s modernist architecture so I have to admit to being first drawn to this place by the building rather than the food.

I’ve now given Magnolia a couple of tries and it’s one of the better places for a relaxed Vietnamese bite around town. In addition to Vietnamese restaurant standards, Magnolia also serves pho, banh mi, banh xeo (pancakes) as well as a smattering of Khmer dishes.

There’s indoor and outdoor dining and despite being on a major road, the place has a relatively serene feel.

Service is well-intentioned but mixed.
