Filmmaker Rithy Panh has turned the ground floor of the Bophana Centre into a lounge made for lingering. Long held as among the capital’s most important art spaces, the Centre’s new cafe serves drinks and pastries between historical film footage and moderated discussions. Prices are aimed at the students who fill the space and gather for events. A Coke is 63 cents, Heineken $2, wine $3. Hang around long enough and you may even get to share a glass with the big man himself. Bophana Cafe, #63 Street 200.
