SihanoukVille excels in the quality and variety of dining options available.

Best backpacker / budget places to eat are on Victory Hill, on the streetside stands, and in Khmer or Chinese restaurants.  Breakfast is a plate of hot rice with grilled sliced pork.  Pickled vegetable on the rice, a bowl of hot chicken or beef soup, and a glass of ice with all you can drink tea.  75 cents at about 200 places around town, until 9am or so.  Quite filling.  Lunch, a bowl of boiled noodles with your choice of meat, and vegetables.  75 cents again.  Dinner.  Grilled fish with rice and vegetables.  50 cents.  

Burgers and fries start a $1 each.  There's a wide variety of meats, vegetables and fruits here, but not many meals are vegetarian.  Most restaurants can prepare something vegetarian, and many foriegn owned restaurants denote which meals are veg.

Meals here start at $2 (except for Tapas for $1 a plate).

best $1 burger and $1 fries in town.  A German-Khmer runs this place

A dozen mini-marts scattered around town have a limited supply of snack foods. Ice cream, chips, cookies. And you get some of the cheapest imported booze here.  Probably 1/3 of the price you're used to in the market.

Khmer's make the best Happy Pizza in the world, just plan to relax for 24 hours afterwards

There's also over 700 bars around town, ranging from beach side bars to Hungarian discos. Beers can be as low as 37 cent during Happy Hour.  Usually, beer is 50 cents to one dollar everywhere.  Many bars feature Angkor Draft, the National beer of Cambodia.  It should be fresh, since it's made at the top of SihanoukVille Hill, 7 days a week.
