Friends the Restaurant is a training restaurant run by former street youth and their teachers.

To help Mith Samlanh’s hospitality students gain practical skills and prepare them for employment, we operate two training restaurants, both run by former street youth and their teachers. Romdeng, (on Street 174) has been designed to promote Cambodian culture and food, while at Friends the Restaurant students are trained in Western and Asian cooking.

The focus of this training is building self-esteem, self-respect, very high standards of hygiene and of course, hospitality skills. When the students have finished their training, we help them to find jobs. We are grateful to all the businesses who offer employment opportunities to the students and are always very proud to see them in many of the restaurants around Phnom Penh.

All profits from our restaurants are reinvested into Mith Samlanh’s projects for former street children and youth.

If you would like to support us (by hiring our graduates, giving donations, ideas, suggestions, or comments) please ask our restaurant staff.
