Best Restaurants in Siem Reap 2026
Eating well in Siem Reap is easy once you step away from the Pub Street strip. The town rewards a bit of wandering: family-run Khmer kitchens plating amok and prahok the way it's cooked at home, a new wave of chefs reworking Cambodian flavours, and a handful of tables worth dressing up for. This is where we send friends when they land (the places our Siem Reap team eats on its own time, not just when someone else is paying. We've weighted the list toward kitchens that are consistent night after night, source locally, and treat a solo diner as well as a group of eight. You'll find options across budgets, from a few-dollar noodle bowl to a tasting menu, with the neighbourhood and price band noted on each. Many take walk-ins, but the smaller rooms fill up in high season) book ahead if your heart's set on one.
