 Ce restaurant merite vraiment le detour amicalement Pierre André de Mainonville "Aménagé dans une ancienne résidence princière; le Restaurant « La Résidence » à Pnom Penh; offre à la fois la sérénité d’un lieu select de détente et de confort cossu; dans un décor d’une extrême délicatesse. – Le Chef Japonais; auréolé de ses étoiles Michelin; traite ses hôtes en les entraînant dans la ronde des subtilités de son art; que les palais gourmands découvrent avec surprise et enchantement. Cette ‘’Résidence’’; vraiment royale; mérite le détour. Notre opinion se trouve confortée par les avis de nombreux amis appartenant à différents pays; revenus enchantés de leur découverte. Ben que proposant des crus à 1000 Dollars; la Résidence laisse accès à des produits de classe pour un prix très abordable au regard de la qualité: (30 Dollars en base) . Le client est accueilli et traité en invité d'honneur; avec la délicatesse et l'attention discrète si particulière à l'Asie? " Pierre André de Mainonville 6-Oct-2008 |
