Eats & Nightlife in Siem Reap & Angkor
Eating in Siem Reap
Overview: The main tourist area to eat, drink and lounge takes place in downtown Siem Reap, where the Old French Quarter and Old Market are – just west of the Siem Reap River and east of Sivatha Road. Downtown is located west of the Siem Reap River and is concentrated into a few blocks. The French Quarter and Old Market immediately set themselves off from the rest of Siem Reap with their European-style architecture, bars and restaurants. Here you can street vendors selling handbags, etc. and retail shops selling clothes and knickknacks.
The Old Market and Old French Quarter in Siem Reap offer all types of food. In the Old Market area, you’ll find anything from European/Western food to lots of Indian food such as Curry Walla and of course, Khmer food (both at restaurants and food stalls).
THE RED PIANO
Food at the Red Piano restaurant costs anywhere from $1.50 to $15.00. A coke is about $1 to $1.50 and beer about $1.50 in bottles. They serve anything from Thai to any other international foods. Thai food here runs around $3 to $4 USD. The Red Piano has a small step up and a nice patio area. Fairly accessible if you can mount a step about 4 inches. The entrance to the bathroom here is pretty small, however, and difficult to maneuver around.
Location: Southwest corner of Pub Street, Street 8

CURRY WALLA
This fantastic little, Indian restaurant is a couple of blocks away from the Old Market on Sivutha Blvd.
Location: 805 Sivatha Blvd, Siem Reap, Cambodia
Ph: 063 965 451
Cost: So, food in the Old Market costs between $3 to $10, depending on what and how many you order.
Accessibility: The restaurants and bars on Pub Street, unfortunately, have a step up to them. Sometimes the actual places have crowded patio seating that may make navigation difficult for wheelchairs. If you can handle a step, definitely find a place, relax and enjoy.
