Circle

Circle sits on River Road in Siem Reab, a useful address for understanding the city’s dining rhythm: close to the visitor circuit, but tied to the slower river corridor rather than the louder Pub Street axis.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Il Forno

Il Forno sits on Street 09 in Siem Reap, bringing a European oven-fired cooking tradition into a city better known for Khmer kitchens and temple-district tourist fare.
