Why it matters
Why Molop Wat Damnak Restaurant is worth your time
Wat Damnak is quieter than Pub Street, and a meal here gives older travellers a break from the crowds. Low prices and a menu with vegetarian and vegan dishes make it a practical choice for a family lunch.
Keep in mind that the evidence is a single page, and the entry gives no detail on individual dishes. Treat it as a lead worth confirming rather than a guarantee, and decide on the day after looking at the menu.

How to experience it
Molop Wat Damnak is on Rambutan Lane, south of Wat Damnak. Wikivoyage describes it as serving organic Khmer and Western food, with mains from about three dollars, plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and cooking classes. The lane is a short tuk-tuk ride from the centre.
Because the restaurant is not vegetarian-only, ask the staff to point out the plant-based dishes and confirm sauces. Fish sauce is common in Khmer cooking, so ask for it to be left out. Use the visit to try Khmer vegetable dishes with rice at a moderate pace.
The cooking classes may interest families who want an activity after the temples, but we did not verify their schedule, so ask ahead. We found no evidence of Jain cooking.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Confirm it is open
