Che Culo is Italian for “Lucky Bastard,” say the lucky bastards behind Street 302’s newest purveyor of food and firewater. They are lucky because they own a bar in Phnom Penh (don’t snigger; it’s a sweet little spot that you’d covet, too). Bar tables are tall and designed for standing. The booths are plush and intimate. It’s a Mediterranean layout made for mingling, tapas and cocktails. The owners are in Phnom Penh by way of Sydney, and the bar operates with big-city efficiency. The menu is short, half cocktails, half tapas. And the meatballs are wicked.
Che Culo, #6 Street 302.
