Places to eat in Khett Siem Reab

A great place to start the day at Siem Reap is Balcony Cafe and Gallery. The restaurant in the central market area and is very clean with a very relaxed atmosphere. The food is very good, very economical and the service friendly and great. This place can make you start your day with a smile and a sated stomach. The menu has options for both vegetarians (though limited) and non vegetarians and the coffee is really good.

All in all, a great place for breakfast.

Favorite Dish: The coffee here is very good. The omelettes were quite tasty though a little watery on the inside. The bread was soft and goes well with milk or coffee. The croissants are top notch and a very nice alternative to the omeletes for those wanting a lighter breakfast.

My best dining experience while I was in Siem Reap was at a family-run roadhouse. If you have access to transport I highly recommend this.

The outdoor guest dining area is an extension of the family`s kitchen. I felt a bit invasive initially but in the end I was made to feel welcome.

These restaurants are popular among the locals at night, but because of road conditions it was better to head out in the day time.

Favorite Dish: I had soup, salad, spicy chicken, rice and a beer for 3000 riels ($1.50). They wouldn`t accept a tip, so I bought a few snacks from their shop!

It is very occasional to find this restaurant since it is just located within a few steps from our guesthouse. But we feel very fortunate to find it as it provides the best cambodia food in town.

All of us are on the backpack travel. But it is unbelievable we spent every dinner in this cosy restaurant to enjoy the local food.

The service of the staff here is comparatively professional and satisfactory, with a neat decoration style in the local culture.

Sorry guys, I put the photos of you as a free ad. for the restaurant.

Favorite Dish: Hot Pot is very tasty with special flavor and also enough for sharing.

This is a very nice Restaurant. They claim that they serve the best amok in Siem Reap. It was definitely tasty but it was the only one we tried so we can not compare. The atmosphere is very nice if not even romantic. Lots of warm colors and mirrors, candle light. For sure an upscale touristic place and not the normal Cambodian place.

This is a very trendy modern bakery (somewhat out of place compared to the rest of the country but great for a change) in the heart of town.

It is as well a restaurant (serving meat dishes and everything) and lounge.
Upstairs you can enjoy the air conditioning lying on beds while eating or drinking something tasty. It is a free Wifi spot.

The place belongs to a French Chef called Arnaud.

Open from 6 to 10.

Favorite Dish: The self made ice creams are absolutely heavenly! The best Mango ice cream I ever tasted! He has as well very special flavours that you have never seen before. The amount of flavours he can bring in, is unbelievable! We had to go back every evening.....

Kampuccino Pizza & Restaurant

This lovely restaurant is on the river road. They have a great International & Khmer menu (not just pizza).
The restaurant has been around for many years and is very popular.
Breakfast is served all day and you can sit indoor or at the curbside seating.

Soup serves are huge so watch out if you are ordering a main course as well.
Their Khmer Chicken Curry is great!!
The meal we had at Kampuccino Pizza and the prices are:

2 x Garlic Bread
2 x Tom Yum Soups
2 x Khmer Chicken Curry
2 x Large Beers
1 x Soft Drink
Total Bill was $17

Everything was delicious but we ordered way to much and could not eat it all, there was a woman begging out the front of the restaurant (holding a small child) while we were eating.

We organised with the staff to take a lot of the food we had ordered out to her. She woke the little boy up and he ate the lot, she did not eat anything, but it was obvious she was happy the child had food.

Location: 362 Pokambor Avenue (Old market area on the river front road)
Opening Hours :7:00AM - Late
Telephone : 012-835762

They have a location in Phnom Penh as well. I'm a fan of spicy Indian but be careful what you wish for. They dish out fabulous curries, tandoori's and kormas. We thought we'd go with the local "flow" and ask for spicy and my nose didn't stop running for two days. Not the restaurant's fault. We asked for it. Plus, knowing we were adventurous tourist's they brought us a few tasting's of other dishes wish is why I love, love traveling so much. I just felt bad because we could only carry so much home with us.

Open 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Favorite Dish: Vindaloo all the way!!!

The banner on the restaurant lists that this restaurant is listed in the lonely planet. It seemed that this place was run by a local chinese guy. He spoke to us in Mandarin when we told him we are from Singapore and proceed to show us the review he got from the web pages.

We tried the platter which consists of amok fish, fresh spring rolls (which are like vietnamese rice paper spring rolls), honey spare ribs, mango salad, fried veg and one other dish which I can't remember as well as rice and dessert. I ordered another order of the sour soup and beer.

The food is pretty nice especially the fresh spring rolls.
