Malis (from Khmer: ម្លិះ mlih – "jasmine"[2]) is a Cambodian restaurant opened in 2004 in Phnom Penh, the first Cambodian fine dining restaurant in the city.[3] To design the restaurant's menu chef Luu Meng travelled throughout Cambodia for six months and collected traditional recipes, which he presented using farm-sourced ingredients and modern cooking techniques.[4] In 2011, Malis won the Tourism Alliance Award as the Restaurant of the Year at the International Travel Expo in Ho Chi Minh City.[5]
In 2016, another Malis restaurant was opened in Pokambor Avenue in Siem Reap.[6][7] The opening was attended by the Secretary of State Kong Vibol, Minister of Industry and Handicrafts Cham Prasidh and Director General of APSARA Sum Map.[8][9] In 2019, the restaurants unveiled their revamped menu.[10] Malis is often regarded as one of the best Cambodian restaurants in both Phnom Penh[11][12] and Siem Reap.[13][14]
