Discovering Phnom Penh: A Stroll Through Bassac Lane
If you’ve passed through Phnom Penh before, you might think you know its nightlife — riverside bars, tuk tuks buzzing past the Royal Palace, night markets filling the streets. But then there’s Bassac Lane and Street 308, one of the city’s most lively gathering spots.
By day it feels like a quiet street in Tonle Bassac. By evening, the narrow alleyways come alive: people move between cozy bars and eateries, tables fill with shared plates, and music from jazz to deep beats gives each venue its own character. What makes Bassac Lane special is its sense of community, shaped by passionate locals and expats who turned it into a creative neighborhood.
Just a short walk away is Bassac Signature Hotel & Residence, an urban retreat with stylish rooms, a rooftop infinity pool, and Vertigo Restaurant & Skybar overlooking the skyline. From here, guests can easily explore Bassac Lane as well as Phnom Penh’s landmarks like the Royal Palace and the riverside.
In Phnom Penh, the best evenings often start with a small alley. Turn into Bassac Lane, and you may discover your new favorite spot in the city.
Vertigo Restaurant & Skybar: Modern Asian Dining with Skyline Views
Vertigo Restaurant & Skybar sits on the 21st and 22nd floors of Bassac Signature Hotel & Residence, offering a relaxed, modern Asian dining experience with panoramic views of Phnom Penh’s skyline. Designed as a welcoming eatery, Vertigo is a place to meet, eat well, and enjoy the city from above.
The menu focuses on Asian-inspired comfort dishes, familiar international favourites, and seasonal Cambodian ingredients. Guests can expect crab specials, small plates for sharing, and satisfying mains — ideal for casual lunches, business meetings, group gatherings, or an easy weekend brunch.
Led by Chef Tum Rithy, a Kampot native, the kitchen highlights fresh produce, seafood, and bold yet balanced flavours. His cooking style is straightforward and generous, creating food that feels approachable, comforting, and made to be shared.
One floor above, Vertigo Skybar offers an open-air setting for sunset drinks and relaxed evenings. The bar features classic cocktails, signature G&Ts, and a well-curated wine list, paired with light bites and sweeping city views — perfect for after-work drinks or weekend catch-ups.
