Like all the best traditions that live on in seeming perpetuity, the French tradition of eating a Galette des Rois for Epiphany is a blend of ancient pagan customs and more modern Christian lore all mixed in with a healthy dose of just enjoying the chance to share a little cake and fun with friends and family. Come to Khéma between now and the end of January to enjoy yours, and find out whether you’ll be crowned King or Queen for the day.
We’re putting the Party into Christmas this year, with a magical Christmas Menu, sensational Christmas Cakes and Cookies, and Khéma’s traditional welcome full of cheers. See you there. Merry Christmas! Please book now at our reservation page.
It’s pretty hard to miss a Mimolette. Among the pale, buttery hues of other cheeses, it stands out with a burst of fissured fire-opal orange in a pock-marked globe that looks like it’s been rolled in Mars dust, looking for all the world like someone has sliced open a particularly exotic rock.
Khéma La Poste threw open the doors on its grand opening last month, boasting a bright new look, an energised team, and a bolder, wider menu than before. Not everything has changed though. Long-loved favourites from Khéma Pasteur are still there, especially the things we’re best at, alongside a delicious selection of new ideas and inspirations from around the world. But our heart rests in France, which is why the mysterious and magic Steak-frites Café de Paris is our banner dish.
In the immortal words of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, “Oh, what a night”. And to pillage those eternal lyrics even further: “What a very special time for me (us) / As I (we) recall, it ended much too soon”. We had a wonderful evening during Khéma’s Grand Opening on October 2, a packed event for which we extend our thanks to everyone who took the time to come and celebrate with us.
It’s been a long wait, but we’re thrilled to announce that Khéma La Poste finally opened its doors on 21 August, ready to serve Phnom Penh from 6am to 11pm with a fresh new menu of healthy, delicious meals and light bites as well as Khéma’s famed range of bread, cheeses, charcuterie and cakes (ok, these last ones are maybe not so “healthy” in the strictly pedantic meaning of the term, unless one considers their profoundly positive effects on the mind).
For three years, Khéma has been known and loved as the embodiment of “relaxed refinement” in Phnom Penh (Thank you, Urban Flavours). Thanks to our relentless dedication to finding, preparing and serving the very best of French cuisine, from freshly baked breads, heavenly cheeses, house-made cold meats, gorgeous patisseries and cakes and simply delicious food prepared without pretension, we’ve built up a loyal base of smart, sophisticated fans because we love what we do.
Join us for a truly “democratic” celebration of France’s National Day on July 14 at Khéma. We’re arranging a beautiful buffet dinner that will have something for everyone, including unlimited canapés, cold cuts, cheeses and plenty of France’s most popular dishes for just $25+ per person, including a free flow of wine.
It’s not just because we’re saying it that we think it’s true: Khéma’s weekday Business Lunch Set Menu is simply a genuinely great deal offering some of the finest French cooking in town for just $15+ for three courses, or $18+ including a glass of HobNob wine. Perhaps it is one of the greatest lunch deals in Phnom Penh.
