Needless to say, there are so many Cambodian restaurants in Siem Reap. Some of them okay, some of them good, and some simply delicious.
Although Siem Reap is a tiny city, it does have a variety of food available. You can choose anything from French cuisine, to Indian, Italian, Western, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, or Mexican cuisine. Vegetarian and halal food restaurants are also available.
So you have plenty of places to choose from if for any reason your stomach doesn’t agree with the Cambodian food that is available everywhere.
Below are some of the restaurants I’ve tried, but if you've found a restaurant that you really love please do share the name of the restaurant and why you love it! Because the more the merrier, and of course because life is so much better with great food.
Amok Restaurant on Pub Street's Passage
If this is your first time trying Cambodian food? Why not start with amok, their national dish?
This coconut based 'curry' dish is flavorful without being too strong and is familiar enough to many taste buds. The perfect choice for a first time encounter with Cambodian food.

Curry Walla on Sivatha Blvd. One of Siem Reap's restaurants was dubbed as the restaurant with Best Value for Money in 2006, and that is Curry Walla on Sivatha Blvd. I decided to try it based on that claim alone. It turns out the food is good; there's fast, free internet; and they do delivery also. See a page of the menu here.
