M'lop Dtra-jay-uk translated (cool shade) in Battambang is a local hotspot for the locals that are spending time with family or just hanging out with friends to enjoy cold beer and food.
I can see why this place is named this way because when you enter, the whole place is covered in shade with straw huts about 2 Ft off the ground where you can enjoy your food and drink. They also have a few huts sitting along the river giving you a view of those passing by on their boats to tend to their daily business. I have been here twice and both times, this place was really busy.
Of course since this is Khmer owned, the majority of the food here is also and for a little over $10, me and 3 others were able to enjoy several great Khmer dishes and 2 pitchers of beer. Great deal! you say? Well of course! So if your guys are out to try something a little different, then I really suggest this place. This spot is one of my favorites.
I can't really give you a pin point of where this place is located but I can give you the general idea on how to find it. This place is located along the river road 159D going south. It should be in between road 213 and street 305 (please look at bottom of page for map.) sitting along the river side. If you happen to get lost which some might, you can always ask the locals.
Overall, this place is great! Cheap food, cheap beer, quite private settings and lots of shade!
