Siem Reap is a food-lover's delight, offering an array of dining venues and cuisines from Asia and the West. It’s easy to sample many types of Cambodian food, from traditional dishes like amok (a yellow coconut curry, usually made with fish) and luk-lac (cubed beef wok-fried in sauce) to adventurous contemporary and fusion fare, including some world class entries, such as served at the renowned Cuisine Wat Damnak.


Given Cambodia's long history with France, French cuisine also enjoys a very special place in Siem Reap, and is served at some of the town’s finest restaurants - Abacus and Paris Saigon amongst the highlights.


Eateries are scattered across town, though many are concentrated in the Pub Street and Old Market areas, especially along Pub Street and in the Pub Street alleys. And the choice in the area is quite varied, both in in the kind of food and the price - from Cambodian food on a budget at one of the Old Market stalls along Street 9, to plenty of family restaurants and a new upmarket places. It's an easy area to stroll and choose the restaurant or bar that best suits you.


And don't forget, it's traditional to attend at least one dinner dance performance during your stay in Siem Reap. Several restaurant around town, including a couple in the Pub Street area, host nightly traditional dance performances, usually with a buffet or set menu.
