Phanha Khmer is an authentic Khmer restaurant in Siem Reap that promises to offer tourists traditional Khmer delicacies with a twist. Tourists and locals alike can enjoy a complete gastronomic experience thanks to the exquisite wines and charming surroundings that accompany the divine tasting meals. Phanha Khmer is located on 29 Wat Bo Street, very close to the important attractions in Siem Reap. The restaurant is near all centre accommodation venues, the Night Market, the Old Market, as well as the Angkor Wat Temple Complex. The Siem Reap River is just a short distance from the restaurant, so you can enjoy a romantic walk with your loved one after your delicious dinner.

Phanha Khmer is impossible to miss, thanks to the paved walkway in front and the lush tropical greenery in front that covers almost the entire building. The three red roofs that emerge behind these plants emanate an authentic Cambodian charm that bides you to come in. Indoor, Phanha Khmer looks like a true Khmer oasis. The interior room is large and boasts unique decorations. The dominant brown colour on the roof, floor, tables, and chairs helps create an intimate atmosphere along with the tropical plants and dim lighting. The thatch roof and bright red palanquin take you back to long-forgotten times, though the conveniently-placed ceiling fans bring a bit of modernity to the mix.

Phanha Khmer is not just about the looks. The food is delicious, with a diverse menu that comprises authentic dishes prepared by expert chef Pal Paing. With over a decade of experience as executive chef, Pal Paing is passionate about experimenting with tangs and textures to express the hidden potential of Cambodia’s gastronomy.

Prepared with the utmost care from organic local products, the dishes combine Cambodian and European cuisine. From Yellow Fish Curry to Papaya Salad, fried rice, and onion spring rolls, Phanha Khmer offers all the Cambodian foods you can think of, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.
