Kep Beach, located in the small coastal town of Kep in Cambodia, has a rich culinary history that dates back to the times when it was a retreat for the French colonial elite. This heritage has influenced Kep's cuisine, which offers a blend of French and traditional Khmer flavors. The most iconic culinary offering in Kep is the fresh seafood, especially the famous Kep crab. Fishing and crabbing have been a part of the local economy for generations, and the way the seafood is prepared here harnesses both local spices and methods, alongside influences from historical foreign residents.
