Best restaurants in Siem Reap

Siem Reap is a bustling modern city that is becoming a hub for expats and is welcoming in a plethora of cute coffee shops, modern cafes, and delicious restaurants. The city has a thriving health culture with vegan and vegetarian options focusing on real and organic local produce and foods. You have a great selection of local craft coffee, beer, kombucha, and international foods from all over the world. There are almost too many places to choose from. After exploring the city, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best restaurants in Siem Reap.

Best Restaurants in Siem Reap

Artillery Cafe

Best restaurants Siem Reap.

Artillery Cafe is a plant-based, lifestyle-focused menu that has vegetarian, vegan, and raw food. They also have several meat options on the menu for the carnivores like us. Their dishes are nutrient-dense ‘superfoods’ and are made with organic, local ingredients. We are not vegetarian or vegan, but we loved this cafe and ate here several times on our trip.

My favorite was their avocado chicken wrap as well as their Mexican mango bowl, which was grilled chicken breast with corn, roasted veggies, avocado, black bean salsa and brown rice with fresh mango and tahini dressing. They have amazing homemade hummus plates and their herb chicken sandwich is amazing as well. They also have a local Kombucha brand called Fermented Kitchen and their mint flavor is my favorite.

See the full menu here.

Hours: 7:30am-9pm daily

Price: $$

Elia Greek Kitchen

Elia Greek Kitchen is the cutest, charming, Greek restaurant in a quiet spot across the river on a less busy part of Pub Street. If you are looking for Greek food, then this is one of the best restaurants in Siem Reap to visit. This restaurant is an oasis that transports you to Europe in Southeast Asia with the best souvlaki (gyros) and sangria around. The decor is exposed brick and white reminiscent of the houses in Greece. The decor is awesome, surrounding you with hanging lanterns and quotes from Greek philosophers. They have a huge hangout lounge upstairs as well. This quickly became one of our favorite spots in Siem Reap.

See menu here

Hours: 10am-11pm daily

Price: $$

Maybe Later Mexican

siem reap resaurants

This is a Mexican bar and grill across the river from the wooden water mill outside of the loud and crowded Pub Street. If you are looking for Mexican food, then this is one of the best restaurants in Siem Reap to check out.

It’s run by a California expat who married a local and started a place for young people Cambodians to do street art and express themselves. They are partnered in the community to help stop the use of drugs in the city and create a safe place for the local youth to work and have a future. Their burrito was traditional and so, so good. This place is busy and you have to come early to grab a table for dinner. They have plenty of space with a whole different upstairs seating lounge as well. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Siem Reap

Hours: 11am-10pm daily

Price: $$

Vibe Cafe

best cafes in siem reap

This is a beautiful vegan coffee shop and restaurant in the city. This was the first 100% plant-based vegan restaurant in Siem Reap. They have craft coffee, kombucha, yogurt, peanut butter, cheesecake, and so many delicious dishes that are all superfoods. They also sell homemade ceramics that are modern and made by local artisans.

Don’t miss the large upstairs lounge decorated with wall murals and an overall bohemian aesthetic. They sell their own cookbook, bamboo straws, and other eco products. Some of their top sellers are their Buddha and Acai bowls that are around $5-$7 a bowl with lots of fruit and superfoods, or veggies, rice, and their own homemade cashew mayo. They have burgers, tacos, and sandwiches as well as fresh juices. They are known for their amazing desserts as well such as passionfruit cheesecake which is made with fresh fruit, vanilla bean, raw honey, coconut oil, and lemon with an almond base.

StrEATS

places to eat in siem reap

This is a local Cambodian food restaurant that is modern and has beautiful tiles, copper hanging lights, and pops of bright color. The restaurant sells higher end local dishes and beer, with a great lunch special including an entree, beer, and ice cream for $7. The meals are huge and delicious. We had the Kabob plate and a beef burger that were delicious. Their homemade ice cream was some of the best I have had and tasted like cake batter even though it was vanilla. It was so creamy. They have a bar as well that serves creative cocktails.

Hours: Unlisted

Price: $$

Mrs. Wong’s Cocktail Bar

Mrs. Wong’s is a Shanghai style cocktail bar sitting in one of the back alleys of Pub Street that is a hip local meet up for the expats who live in Siem Reap. This is one of the most popular bars in Siem Reap and you have to arrive early to save a table. Mrs. Wong’s is a more private Speakasy feel unlike most of the other bars on the stretch. There are homemade Chinese dishes such as hot pot and dim sum as well as creative cocktails with artistic touches.

Price: $$

Siem Reap Brewpub

Where to eat in siem reap

This is a great spot for craft beer lovers and is a rare find in SE Asia. A tasting flight is $3USD, and they sell local dishes and appetizers. We had the sausage and enjoyed the spicy dipping sauce. They have a beautiful outdoor patio area with darts and a pond, making it a great place to enjoy the afternoon and evening.

Temple Coffee

Restaurants in Siem Reap

This was our favorite coffee shop and bakery in town and it was such a unique and artistic space from the entrance to every detail inside of their shop. You enter under a bamboo teepee of hanging coffee cups to a brick and cement modern building with ceiling to floor windows and vaulted ceilings facing the river and city temple hence temple coffee. There is exposed brick walls, old motorbikes, and other vintage decor accessories along with wood, and low set tables that are comfy couch like spaces where you take off your shoes to enter your own padded low seated cubicle. This place has the best coffee, meals, and snacks and you can sit for hours to work or just hang out or escape the rain as we did. This place also has a rooftop sky lounge that also doubles as a bar at night that is open until midnight with amazing views of the city along the Siem Reap River. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Siem Reap.

Jungle Burger

[柬埔寨暹粒內復古風美式餐廳 – Jungle Burger,柬蒲寨吳哥遊記 第 3 章] 剛到暹粒的第一天,在酒店放下行李後,租一台單車先在暹粒市內玩一天,因為到達後已經是正午時間,打算第二天才到吳哥一帶遊玩 先找個地方吃一頓,來到這一家輕鬆的酒吧 + 餐廳。店內的設計很懷舊,餐廳內放了桌球枱,可以邊喝啤酒邊玩桌球;牆上盡是懷舊的美式裝潢、球衣、電影海報等等,相信晚上來的話氣氛定必更好! 我隨意的點了漢堡、薯條和當地便宜的柬埔寨啤酒,漢堡好吃而且不會太膩,薯條加上蛋黃醬是我很喜歡的組合。當我看到餐牌寫著啤酒一杯只需一元美金,不用想馬上先點一杯,喝下去清爽暢快,正!這麼便宜後來我多點了一杯,根本就是對抗當地炎熱天氣的良物。不過,後來發現街上有些餐廳只需美元五角就有一杯啤酒,那麼大家可以更暢快地喝個夠 (美元五角是我看到最便宜的,在士多買也是這個價錢) 這裡的食物收費在暹粒市來說是正常合理價錢,在柬埔寨吃的第一餐好暢快呢 Jungle Burger Sports Bar & Bistro,暹粒市,柬埔寨 Street 26, Between the River and Wat Bo Road Opposite the Peace Cafe, Siem Reap, Cambodia #都市遊魂 #柬埔寨 #暹粒 #旅遊 #旅游 #遊記 #假期 #觀光 #自由行 #风景 #美景 #景點 #旅遊景點 #背包客 #自助旅行 #旅遊日記 #旅游日记 #hongkonger #hkiger #hkigers #旅攝 #食好西 #吃貨 #食記 #jungleburgersiemreap #hkfoodie #吃貨人生 #美食推薦 #吃貨日記 #好味
