The Kingdom’s nightlife just got a major upgrade with the debut of Above Eleven Phnom Penh –a boutique sky garden inspired by New York’s Central Park – which blends the excitement of Nikkei cuisine, creative cocktails, stunning city views and an electrifying atmosphere.

A darling of the international hospitality scene, Above Eleven originally launched to great fanfare in Bangkok, and is now one of the most popular rooftop destinations of Dubai’s world-famous skyline. 

The global sensation threw an exclusive soft opening party on November 25. With a “who’s who” of distinguished guests in attendance, it was one of the hottest tickets in Phnom Penh.

Located atop the recently completed Novotel Phnom Penh BKK I, in the commercial heart of the capital, the new venue promises to become known as one of the most sensational experiences to hit the capital. 

Above Eleven is renowned for its perfect execution of Nikkei, a fusion cuisine that combines Japanese and Peruvian elements, all expertly matched with perfectly crafted cocktails that compliment the bold flavours of the dishes.

Consistently ranked among the top ten bars and restaurants in both Bangkok and Dubai – with a style described as “bringing the Peruvian spirit and Japanese precision to offer the ultimate experience”, Phnom Penh’s hippest denizens were salivating at the chance to experience the atmosphere that has become such a hit in Dubai.

Above Eleven’s striking design, with its blend of modern elegance and cozy sophistication, provided a stunning backdrop for the launch event.

“Above Eleven Phnom Penh is a place for everyone - a space where you can truly feel like yourself. When you come here, you'll discover something unique. We're passionate about creating exceptional experiences, which go beyond the stunning view. It's about bringing together various elements to make a place truly special,” explains Rohit Sachdev, Chief Executive Officer.

“Customers visiting us will experience a beautiful atmosphere and unique design that sets us apart. The attention to detail in our aesthetics creates something truly special. What makes us different isn't just the upscale ambiance but the warm and friendly experience we offer,” he adds.

At the heart of Above Eleven’s appeal is its incredible cuisine, which showcases the bold creativity of the kitchen team.

Standout dishes include the Tiradito Nikkei, a modern take on Peruvian sashimi, and the Anticucho Skewers, which brings a smoky, flavourful twist to a street-food classic. Dessert lovers will be enchanted by the Tres Leches, which offers a subtle balance of sweetness and earthy richness. 

Of course, no rooftop experience is complete without exceptional drinks, and Above Eleven’s bar team deliver in spectacular fashion. Signature cocktails like the Pisco Sour and the Tiki Chilcano will delight with their inventive flavours and striking presentation. 

The rooftop offers a 360-degree panorama of the city, with its glittering skyline creating a magical backdrop for any occasion. Guests have described the scenery as “mesmerising,” with one remarking that “Above Eleven gives you a view of Phnom Penh like no other place can – it’s simply spectacular.”

Above Eleven sets a new standard for sky-high dining and entertainment in the Kingdom, offering an all-encompassing experience that is poised to become a must-visit destination.

“Join us to savour our food, rich with history, while enjoying the breathtaking view. Delight in Peru's national drink, the Pisco Sour, and our signature dish, ceviche. We invite everyone to experience the essence of Peru at our beautiful sky bar,” adds Rohit Sachdev.

Come for the view, stay for the experience – Above Eleven Phnom Penh is here to transform your nights into memories.
