Best Khmer Cuisine in Siem Reap
Traditional Cambodian cooking — amok steamed in banana leaf, lok lak, and family recipes that predate the tourist boom.
1
Marum
Wat Bo4.5(750)$$
The rare place where the feel-good backstory and the food are both genuinely excellent. This is the social-impact dinner we recommend over any orphanage-adjacent "experience."
2
Pou Restaurant & Bar
Wat Bo4.6(411)$$
The mid-priced sweet spot: more interesting than the Pub Street standards, far cheaper than the tasting menus, and full of dishes you will not find at home.
3
Khmer Kitchen
Old Market & Pub Street4.2(2,788)$
When you want a reliable $5 amok two minutes from Pub Street without the Pub Street chaos, this is the answer.
4
Spoons Café
Sala Kamreuk4.8(908)$$
The other great social-enterprise table alongside Marum, and quieter: the cooking is confident modern Khmer, and every plate funds a hospitality career.
