Food Scene

Awesome little cafe not far from Stay Savvie, that is open 24 hours (yes!) and also delivers to our hotel. I'm in love with the Avocado Salad that has their own special recipe for vinaigrette dressing

Excellent food and service for a good cause - Haven supports and trains local youth in hospitality. In high season you need to book as it's very popular (for a good reason).

George's is unique in Siem Reap for it's Creole inspired fare, and also as it features an in-house rum distillery. Rum tastings can be booked for $5 pp in their distillery. The coconut rum is very more-ish and great as a dessert or meal finisher. https://www.georges-rhumerie.com/

This French restaurant may not appear high on food review sides, as it's a hidden gem due to the fact the chef closes it in low season to return to his second restaurant in France. The restaurant is frequented by the large French expat community and features large portions of homestyle authentic French fare. The chef changes the menu frequently to take advantage of seasonal produce. Hours: Mon-Fri 6–11PM Sat-Sun Closed

Genevieve's serves consistently great food in a pleasant garden atmosphere. The owner, Phil, has built the restaurant into a family and the care he has for his staff is obvious in the consistently excellent service and highly trained chefs. The slow cooked pork belly and French duck breast are some of the best items on the menu, but don't miss ordering the fried spring rolls for entree

Drinks & Nightlife

The best expat (and tourist) bar in Siem Reap if you want laid-back, chill and modern. There is often an event of some sort going on, but most days and evenings it's just a great, quiet spot for a drink and hanging with friends away from the tourist centre. The owner, Josimar, is super friendly and helpful.

Rice wine is a part of Khmer culture, and a stop here is a must-do in Southside Siem Reap. Sombai create infused rice wine, as well as alcoholic jams and great gifts (such as handpainted bottles and glasses). There are a range of items to buy that are some of the best, and most unique gifts you can take home. Importantly, the free tour here is super fun...they will show you the wine with fruit and spices infusing upstairs, and if you are lucky you might get to see an artist hand-painting a bottle. The free tour allows you to taste the full range of wines and jams and the whole visit will take about 30-60 minutes.

Stuff for Families & Kids

There is plenty to do for families and children in Siem Reap - we should know, we have 3 teenagers. Here are some things to do that aren't looking at another temple
This is a great, fun activity for adults and children alike, and you'll probably want to go back again! This mini-golf course is high-quality, well maintained, and based on the temples of Angkor. You can putt your ball through temples you've visited, and there is a good range of skill level across the course meaning even newbies have a chance at a hole-in-one....and the free drink that you get for that! The owner is super friendly, and speaks excellent English. He has built a lovely garden and included mist sprayers to keep you cool while you play.

The first bar-cycle in Cambodia has arrived in Siem Reap! Tour downtown Siem Reap for a fun evening with friends. The 'cycle' which has seats for up to 12 people generally tours around the night-time action of downtown, but tours can be customised and it's a great idea for a birthday celebration (can also be kid-friendly if requested)
