Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Siem Reap: 4 Spots We Love

Siem Reap is easier to eat well in than most people expect. These four spots from our vegetarian-food selection cover garden lunches, coffee and brunch, and a relaxed dinner. The selection includes both vegetarian-focused restaurants and cafés with meat-free choices, so use the comparison below to find the right fit.

If you eat vegan, ask about eggs, dairy and sauces when ordering. A vegetarian choice is not automatically vegan.

1. Ojas Vegan & Vegetarian Eatery

Find it: Chocolate Road · The Map listing · Updates from Ojas

Ojas sits behind a wooden sign and a wall of bougainvillea, with seating that spills onto a garden and a wooden deck. The food is colourful and built around vegetables: a shared table here might bring a bright mixed salad, a vegetable omelette-style plate, thick toasts, and a tangle of stir-fried vegetables, with small ceramic cups of tea on the side.

It is the kind of place to settle in for a while. The watermelon-and-basil cooler and the slice of cake with coffee make it as good for an afternoon pause as for a full meal. Good for a relaxed, plant-forward lunch with friends.

2. Brother Bong Cafe

Find it: Street 20, Wat Bo · Updates from Brother Bong

Brother Bong Cafe roasts its own coffee — the wall behind the counter reads "we roast our own coffee" — which makes it a natural morning stop. The room is calm and woody, with pendant lights and a small counter, and the brunch leans fresh and photogenic.

Think avocado toast topped with a poached egg, cherry tomatoes and crumbled cheese, and smoothie bowls layered with dragon fruit, banana, granola and chia. Pair it with an iced coffee or a flat white. A solid choice if you want coffee done properly alongside a light vegetarian breakfast.

3. New Leaf Eatery

Find it: Street 9, near the Old Market · Current menu and location

New Leaf has a more traditional, shophouse feel — terracotta floors, ceiling fans, bookshelves and a long, airy room. It is a comfortable place to sit out the midday heat over a plate of food and a cold drink.

The vegetarian plates are generous and homely: chickpea salad, beetroot, guacamole and golden fritters on one plate, plus thick fruit smoothies in chunky stoneware. It has a community-minded feel that fits an easy lunch between temples.

4. Banlle Vegetarian Restaurant

Find it: Street 26, Wat Bo · Updates from Banlle

Banlle puts its garden at the centre — much of what you eat is grown on site, and you may spot someone picking greens from the beds while you order. The dining room is simple and bright, with wooden tables by tall windows looking onto the green.

The cooking is fresh and clearly seasonal: a stir-fried noodle dish with vegetables, peanuts and lime served on a banana leaf, and grain bowls with avocado, tomato and a herby dressing. This is the one to choose when you want a sit-down vegetarian dinner with a sense of place.

How to plan your meals around them

Four spots, four moods: Brother Bong for coffee and brunch, Ojas and New Leaf for a long, relaxed lunch, and Banlle for a garden-fresh dinner. All are easy to add to a day of sightseeing. Opening hours change, so check the latest before you go — and if you want something refined for the evening too, see our guide to romantic evenings in Siem Reap.

Before you set off

Menus and opening days change. Check the restaurant’s own page before crossing town, especially if you need a particular vegan dish. New Leaf publishes a mixed menu with clearly marked plant-based options; the four venues remain our original selection for vegetarian food.
