Elia Greek Kitchen

Marketed as Greek Food Make with Love, the Elia Greek Kitchen is one of the best Mediterranean Greek restaurants in Siem Reap, although you can find plenty of other options from the European cuisine. Vegans and vegetarians will be happy to know that Elia caters to their tastes with delicious and hearty cooked meals, not limited to salads.

You can find the Elia Greek Restaurant close to the Siem Reap River, a few minutes away from the heart of Siem Reap, on Street 09 Mondul 1 Village. Because it’s located near the main attractions in Siem Reap, this restaurant is a good pit stop to and from your adventures in this magical city.

The ingenious décor will catch your eye from the outside because Elia boasts a welcoming outside terrace, painted with inviting brown and cream colours that create a cosy atmosphere. The upstairs terrace takes you back to Mediterranean realms with its specific Greek design in blue and white. Inside, the atmosphere is equally inviting and picturesque. The tables and chairs are comfortable, with enough space between them to enjoy a private conversation, but close enough to breathe in the friendly surroundings.

Elia Greek Kitchen opens at 11 am, but you can still enjoy a mouth-watering breakfast, lunch or dinner. Guests’ favourites include the Lentil Soup with pita bread, shrimp, Calamari, souflaki, and Moussaka, with vegan and vegetarian options. The meat selection varies from chicken to beef and fish, served in intricate and delicious meals.

This restaurant offers a variety of sauces and dips that complement your meals, such as a mix of        Tzatziki, hummus, eggplant dip, beetroot dip, and tirokafteri. Plenty of Greek specific options include Dolmades, Feta, Keftedes, Zucchini fritters, and Spanakopita. Pro tip: don’t miss some delicious Greek desserts like Greek Yoghurt with honey and almonds, the chocolate mousse or the caramelised vanilla pudding.
