For more than 20 years, Topaz has been a landmark for French fine dining in the heart of Phnom Penh, where we celebrate time-honoured traditions and cutting-edge gastronomy in a stylish, contemporary setting that reflects the richly cultured, vibrant and dynamic capital city that it calls home. Personally selected ingredients, dedication to service and the deepest pride in being among the best are at the heart of every dish we serve.
By sourcing our ingredients from the Marché Rungis in Paris and from individually selected suppliers across France and Cambodia, we leave nothing to chance. And we invest just as much time and energy into constantly training and supporting our staff, some of whom have been with us since the day Topaz first opened its doors in 1997.
We strive constantly to create new events highlighting talents with modern, innovative and interesting perspectives on French cuisine. Many Michelin-starred chefs come to celebrate with us, and also to teach us, because we believe in the life-nourishing value of discovery.
Topaz is about celebrating the classical traditions that underpin one of the most famous cuisines in the world and honouring those ideals with the best ingredients that we can find. This is why we source premium ingredients from leading producers and suppliers with whom we build enduring relationships that span the globe from France to Cambodia’s coastline.
Topaz is a French restaurant, but it is also all about Cambodia and building up the skills of the next generation of young chefs, managers and team players.
Topaz is also about bringing cutting-edge gastronomy to Cambodia with its glorious wealth of new ideas, ingredients and techniques, to reward our customers with dazzling, world-class events and fire up the skills, knowledge and creativity within our team.
None of what we do would be possible without Papa’s award-winning skills, knowledge and passion that are the backbone of the Topaz experience, from the dedication to impeccable service to the excellence of the cuisine, you will find his spirit there. Papa arrived in Cambodia more than ten years ago, and has since dedicated his life to helping Cambodians develop their skills in the kitchen and on the floor. He trains students at Pour Un Sourire d’Enfant, and NGO dedicated to providing skills and training to disadvantaged young Cambodians, many of whom are now working in Cambodia’s best hotels and restaurants, including Topaz.
Papa comes from a long, long line of chefs and winemakers which his family have been able to record back to the time his ancestor served as chef to King Louis XVIII in the early 1800s. His own father was a Michelin-starred chef, and he grew up in the company and under the guidance of France’s greatest names, including Lucien Ogier, Emile Tingaut, Jean Delavine and Paul Bocuse. His own experiences brought him to the attention of all the premier restaurant guides, including Michelin, Gault Millau, Routard, and more. It is fair to say that cooking is in his DNA, and it’s hard to keep him away from the kitchen, whether he is cooking, teaching, mentoring or simply enjoying the atmosphere.
Every single day is rich with opportunities to learn. This is the belief that has powered Lina Hak’s career at Thalias and Topaz since CEO Arnaud Darc, impressed with her clear, forthright thinking and natural approach towards people, hired her as an administrator in 2006. Since then, even as she progressed up through the ranks, she also found the time to study law at the Royal University of Law and Economics as well as a certificate in international business and a dozen short courses. Lina’s role as a mentor and leader is vital at Topaz, but she is an equally active member of Phnom Penh’s vibrant business networking community. Her warmth and wisdom make her invaluable wherever she goes, but especially when she greets you on the restaurant floor.
Sopheak has been with Topaz for 15 years now, where his natural curiosity, ambition and passion for French cooking have been enhanced by training spells in the kitchens of 2-Michelin starred chef Alain Dutournier’s Paris restaurant, Carré des Feuillants, and at Michelin-starred restaurant Arrambide in the Hotel les Pyrénées. Sopheak has a natural understanding of food, sensitive to all its exceptional possibilities and Papa Darc's mentoring has helped him to hone all of these skills and more, while his training abroad has helped him to run a kitchen like a ship.
Sophy has been conducting the performance on the restaurant floor for 12 years now, where her warm, familiar smile and gentle calm ensure that everything is ready and in place and that each guests’ experience is the best that it can be.
