Cuisine Wat Damnak has held a sustained position on the Opinionated About Dining Top Restaurants in Asia list since 2023, placing it among the few fine-dining addresses in Siem Reap with consistent peer-reviewed recognition.

Malis

Malis brings Cambodian cooking to Siem Reap's dining circuit with the seriousness it deserves, ranked #150 in Asia by Opinionated About Dining in 2023 and holding a position in the top 409 as of 2025.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Aaraama Restaurant

Aaraama Restaurant belongs to the quieter Wat Bo side of Siem Reap, where dining is shaped less by spectacle than by market proximity, temple-town rhythms, and the city’s long conversation between Khmer cooking and hotel-era polish. Treat it as a useful counterpoint to tasting-menu addresses and resort dining: a local-feeling stop for travelers who want Siem Reap’s ingredient culture without turning dinner into a production.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Baitong

Baitong sits in Siem Reap’s restaurant scene where market produce, rice, freshwater fish, herbs, and hotel-driven dining all compete for attention around Angkor tourism. With few public signals on awards, chef lineage, or pricing, it reads less as a trophy booking than as a local address to weigh against the city’s broader Cambodian and resort-restaurant options.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Cafe d'Angkor

Cafe d'Angkor sits in Siem Reap’s hotel-dining orbit, where Cambodian produce, temple-route schedules, and international travel habits shape the meal as much as the kitchen. Treat it as part of the city’s broader conversation about accessible Khmer-influenced dining rather than as a chef-driven destination with public awards or a tasting-menu identity.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Chinese Restaurant

Chinese Restaurant sits inside Sokhalay Angkor Executive and Spa in Siem Reap, a city where hotel dining often runs parallel to temple tourism and Khmer-led destination restaurants. Its appeal is less about public accolades than format: a Chinese dining room placed within the resort corridor, useful for travelers comparing Angkor-era itineraries with a quieter, hotel-based meal.

French Art Deco architecture, 131 rooms and suites across 15 acres of gardens, royal patronage from former King Norodom Sihanouk, and a 2026 La Liste Top Hotels score of 96.5 points place it at the summit of the city's colonial-heritage hotel tier.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Zannier Phum Baitang

Forty-five thatched-roof villas on stilts amid paddy fields and landscaped gardens, Zannier Phum Baitang translates to "green village" and earns the name. Rated 93 points on La Liste's Top Hotels 2026 and awarded Forbes 4-Star status in 2025, this French-designed property sits just outside central Siem Reap, placing it closer to the temple circuit than the espresso bars and fusion restaurants that now crowd the town centre.

Bill Bensley's signature aesthetic runs throughout, from monochromatic courtyards to rooftop sky lounges, while the Shinta Mani School of Hospitality trains many of the staff from underprivileged backgrounds.

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Angkor Pool Bar

Angkor Pool Bar fits Siem Reap’s hotel-bar rhythm: open-air, poolside, and built for the hours around temple touring rather than late-night cocktail theatre.
