Rikitikitavi has been feeding travellers in Kampot for many years, and the consistency is part of the appeal. The riverside location is the best in town — tables on the wooden deck overlooking the Praek Tuek Chhu, with ceiling fans moving the air and enough light to read a menu after dark. The food is a mix of Khmer and Western dishes; the Kampot pepper crab is the signature order.
The menu includes a notable selection of dishes showcasing Kampot pepper in various forms — fresh green pepper in beef stir-fry, white pepper on fish, black pepper sauce on grilled items. Prices are reasonable for the quality. The bar runs late and serves decent cocktails. Service is slower than in a hurry, which suits the place.
