Dining

THE RESTAURANT IS OPEN TO GUESTS AND NON-RESIDENTS

Amansara’s sleek circular Restaurant offers Cambodian-centred cuisine under soaring ceilings, or outdoors at pergola-shaded tables by the pool. The daily changing menus focus on simple flavours, using organic produce direct from the market and local suppliers. For a unique experience, private dining is available at the resort’s rustic Khmer house at Angkor, where meals are prepared over charcoal to the sounds and sights of village life

Events

From birthday festivities to anniversary dinners, Amansara’s unique atmosphere is enhanced by local dancers or a blessing from a Buddhist monk

In the French Quarter of the city (home to a royal residence) and only a 10-minute tuk tuk ride from the Unesco world heritage site of Angkor, the hotel is well placed for sightseeing and short promenades up the Siem Reap river to the area's busy and lively bars and markets.
