Once an almost unknown residential hideaway, Street 9 has recently emerged as one of the city’s most secluded afternoon getaways. The newest member on the block is the Teav and Tevy, an upscale guesthouse-and-restaurant combination that epitomises the leafy gardens and tranquil lanes that define the neighbourhoods of Tonle Bassac. The Tevy serves an array of Asian dishes, the friend vegetarian spring rolls ($4) of note. The service is smart and friendly. Sounds from the spa permeate the gardens and the gentle trickle of water falling into the splash pool, complemented with a glass of Bordeaux, makes for the perfect evening comport. Tevi Restaurant, #30 Street 9.
