Eating Out in Siem Reap, Cambodia

As the town of Siem Reap is so popular with tourists there is a wide range of restaurants. They cater for all types with some specialising in local cuisine while others tend to have more western style food on their menus.

The best place in town for eating is around the Old Market Area which is known locally as ‘Psar Chaa’. Here you can find a wide range of restaurants to choose from. Not far from the market area is the riverside where you can find more restaurants and cafés. And if your budget is really tight you can try out food from one of the numerous street stalls.

Cambodian food is very similar to cuisine in its neighbouring South-East Asian countries with rice featuring in nearly everything. Other ingredients such as lemongrass and coconut are also evident. Some local specialities include Cambogee Beef which is marinated beef thread onto skewers, Cambodian Sweet Soup which contains pork, eggs, soy sauce and bamboo shoots and Aromatic Black Tiger Shrimp.

  • The Red Piano

    The Red Piano is one Siem Reap’s most popular eateries and while it specialises it western-style and particularly Mediterranean food, you can also sample local culinary delights.

  • The Aspara Corner

    Psar Chaa, Siem Reap, Cambodia

    If you find yourself on the streets of Siem Reap late at night but with a hunger in you then you need to search for the Aspara Corner. Open 24 hours, its European-style ambience makes it a pleasant place to have something to grab a bite to eat. What makes it even more enjoyable are the pool tables and wide choice of Belgian beers.

  • The Mandalay Inn

    Sivatha St, Siem Reap, Cambodia

    As so many restaurants in Siem Reap have European influences, it is nice to visit a place where everything on the menu is Asian. Choose from a varied selection of Burmese (Myanmar), Cambodian and other Asian food. This restaurant’s staff and excellent value makes it one of the best places to eat in the town.

  • FCC Angkor (Foreign Correspondents Club)

    Pokambor Street, beside the Royal Residence, Siem Reap, Cambodia

    The FCC is one of Siem Reap’s newest places to dine and is slowly becoming one of the most popular. While it is a small bit more expensive than some of the other restaurants in town, you can see why as it is extremely stylish. It is hard to find a nicer place to while away your lunch or dinner as it is situated beside the river and there is open-air seating on the first floor.
