Backyard Cafe

Gorgeous colours in this bowl, but the gluten-free flour and chickpea falafel was too gummy. Luckily the rest of the salad, especially the red pepper hummus and excellent turmeric and tahini dressing made up for it.

Taste: 3/5

This healthy yet super sinful tasting slice of intensely chocolatey raw cacao topped with smoked salt, a sweet and creamy banana and avocado layer, and a nutty cashew and almond base proves that not all vegan desserts are bland, boring affairs. It went great with Backyard's potent espresso!

Taste: 3.5/5

There’s great vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options over at the laidback Backyard Cafe, situated in a quiet street of Phnom Penh, just off the main boardwalk strip. Their Badass Burger comes with a hefty patty made from beetroot, spinach, carrot and apple, topped with a chilli cashew mayo. Though the flavour of the patty was a little muddled , we can’t fault their generous portions and abundance of fresh greens.
