Lovely food, we had the vegan Amok and LokLak, both were delicious. The owner / chef Anout took the time to explain the dishes and how she grows many of the ingredients in the garden, plus her partner John gave us a lift home! Both of them were so kind and generous with us. We also rented scooters from here and they were fab. They also make the best pineapple juice in Cambodia.

A lovely restaurant and very kind and friendly hosts. The pineapple juice is super fresh and served with pineapple ice cubes so as not to dilute the juice. The rice they serve has 5 times been awarded best rice in the world. Great attention to quality!

What a wonderful pearl in Battambang. I'm so glad Anuth didn't just stick to renting motorbikes but also opened up a restaurant with John. The food is excellent, they even use their homegrown vegetables and the pineapple juice was pure and fresh.
You enter the (upstairs!) Place through a little green paradise and sit in a lofty and stylish place. Anuth and John take their time to talk to you and they are full of little secrets about Battambang and surroundings and will share them with you. Also you can have profound chats with them about Cambodia's history and culture. Would recommend anyone to check this place out. Anuth also started her own little tour business into the country side of Cambodia and away from well trodden tourist paths. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to take one. Thanks so much you two for a wonderful evening!

A complete gem, in every way.
Coming to Bar Ang was the highlight of our month long trip in Asia. My family still talks about the experience, the owners and the food to this day.
We will never forget the hospitality and kindness of John, Anut and the rest of their friends and family.
The owners, John & Anut, are the loveliest people. Their stories and way they welcome you to their restaurant, and the way of life in Battambang and Cambodia, is unlike anywhere else. We got to meet their cats, try potatoes (pictured below), and swap stories and Canadian jokes. Chatting with them and their friends was such an enjoyable experience.
Being at Bar Ang feels like you are a part of a small, unlikely family where you least expect to find it.
Menu highlights are the freshly squeezed pineapple juice (this was OUTSTANDING), their homemade French fries, amok, and fried eggplant.
(We visited Bar Ang twice in the three days we were in Battambang- you must stop by if you’re in the area!)
Thank you Anut and John for an unforgettable time! We miss you!

An oasis in Battembang. Amazing friendly and personal service with interest in you as a traveller.
Canadian host and his Cambodian wife offer not just great food and service but - if you ask - an amazing education on life in Cambodia and how things are changing.
Super friendly and amazing hospitality. A must for any visitors to Battembang

One of the best places to eat in BTB if you want good quality food. I didn’t take photos of the meals because I was too busy eating. 🐷 Thank you!

The food is amazing! We had a beef burger ($8), a Khmer curry($6) and fresh watermelon juice ($2.50) all superb. Definitely would return if we ever come back to Battambang
Also, the owners are very hospitable and friendly. They actually came to check with us how spicy we want the curry to be, also check on the food with us. Of course, like other reviewers have mentioned, they are very friendly and happy to share interesting stories with us.
They also can arrange different kind of tickets and rent motorcycle, though we didn’t use that service but the day we visited the restaurant for early lunch, they already have all motor bikers rented out ($7/day).
We had the most delicious dinner and a wonderful time with owner Anut. Would highly recommend that everyone who comes to Battambang gives this place a visit. The food was freshly made to order and extremely tasty. The lovely owner came and talked to us to explain everything. Mains, desserts and drinks all of equally amazing standard and exceptional taste. Clean. No one sick in a group of 5

This family run business is working hard to support their community as they take you on an authentic behind the scenes Cambodian tour. You’ll see them giving some business to the locals plus helping out a local family. Scooters are mechanically up to date, restaurant serves organic farm to table food, much from their own property. Bartender aka Owner aka John creates one of a kind drink just for you. You’d be a fool to go anywhere else for a bike rental, tour or meal. Anut, with the big beautiful smile will set you up and hubby John is right there with making sure you’re happy and satisfied. The hospitality is over the top!
A great little restaurant!
John along with his wife and daughter were fantastic! Very friendly people and made a real effort to ensure we had a great experience!
The food was tasty and the pineapple juice which was freshly squeezed tasted amazing!
John also went above expectations and gave us a free ride back to our hotel in his new Tuk Tuk! These guys are more than deserving of a great review.
Highly recommend checking this place out!
