Barang (Cambodian/Borough)

Get ready for a flavour‑packed night exploring bold Cambodian‑inspired cuisine in the heart of Borough Market! We’re heading to Barang, an exciting new restaurant residency above The Globe Tavern that’s earning rave reviews for its vibrant dishes, smoky open‑fire cooking, and shareable plates designed to delight.

### 🌶 Why Barang?

Barang is transforming Cambodian cuisine into a fresh, modern experience using open‑fire techniques, punchy spice blends, and seasonal ingredients. Diners consistently praise its “amazing food”, “incredible combinations of flavours”, and friendly, relaxed service. Many reviews highlight Barang as one of the most exciting culinary experiences in South East London right now — with guests eager to order everything on the menu!

### 🍴 What We Might Try

While the menu changes seasonally and often leans into sharing small plates, here are some dishes that have been featured and sound irresistible:
Starters & Small Plates

• Raw tuna with compressed melon, lemongrass, coconut & lime
• Diver scallop with tamarind brown butter, pickled apple & pig’s ear crackling
• Laab of venison with pork fat & Khmer spices

Grill & Bigger Plates

• Whole grilled red mullet in banana leaf with Kep dipping sauce & herbs

Sides & Sweet Finish

• Stir‑fried winter greens or citrus salads

And for drinks, Barang’s cocktail list — including inventive aperitifs like a Kampot gin martini with a Carlingford oyster — sets the tone for a flavourful evening.

### 🍷 Experience & Atmosphere

Barang combines the buzz of Borough Market with laid‑back yet polished service, making it perfect for a group dinner with fellow foodies — especially those who love bold, aromatic, Southeast‑Asian flavours. The setting above The Globe Tavern adds a cosy, convivial backdrop ideal for shared plates and conversation.
