Beautiful Restaurant in the heart of Siem Reap central town. Despite the good execution of the dish, the portion is way too small for me in my opinion. Though I understand it is a tasting menu, I hope that the team can consider to make the portion a bit more satisfying for its customer. $55USD meal, I came with high expectations and most importantly, well fed. After the meal, I end up detour myself to the night market for street food to fill up my remaining tummy.

(Translated by Google) It was the best time to eat delicious food after a long time. I could choose from two courses and I chose two. Two appetizers It was a dish that I had never eaten before. Three dishes, four dishes, and five items, it was very delicious. Source of 2 items and 3 items was outstanding. Top Cambodian cuisine, like top French and top Italian. I think it's a dish that has been selected as one of the 50 Best Asian Restaurants in Asia. The dessert was told to be eaten from the left, and when it was eaten that way, it tasted sweet in the mouth like magic. I thought this feeling was similar to the feeling used in a combination of cheese and red wine. I think it's amazing to show it off with a meal Handmade until the last candy It was fantastic until the end. The wine was white Chardonnay from France and red Merlot from France, but the merlot was fragrant and delicious. I wonder if I can eat another course $ 45 for the course and two glasses of wine. Will come again. (Original) 最高〜😍久しぶりに美味しい料理頂きました。 コースは2つから選べて私は2にしました。前菜2品は 今迄食べた事の無い感覚のお料理でした。3品4品5品目と、とても美味しく🤤お料理にどんどん引き込まれて行く感じがしました。2品目3品目のsourceが抜群でした。一流フレンチや一流イタリアンのような、一流カンボジア料理。本当最高❣️流石アジア50選に選ばれたお料理だと思います。デザートは、左側から食べるように言われ、その通りに食べるとマジックのように口の中で甘く味が変化しました。この感覚は　チーズと赤ワインの組み合わせで使われる感じと似ていると思いました。 お食事でそれを現すなんて凄いと思います拍手👏 最後のお口直しのキャンディー迄手作り❣️ 最後まで抜かりなく素晴らしかったです👏 ワインは白のFrance産シャルドネと赤のFrance産メルローを頂きましたが、メルローが香り豊かで美味しかったです。もう一つのコースも食べにこようかなぁ〜😋ルンルン🎶 コースとワイン🍷2杯で45ドルでした。また来る。

An absolutely wonderful experience. The tasting menu provided a variety of different Cambodian dishes. The staff was extremely accomodating, modifying the tasting menu to fit out dietary requirements. Throughout the meal the staff was attentive and helpful. A great experience

I would like to give this restaurant 10 stars. This was probably the best cuisine I’ve ever tried in Siem Reap. This restaurant was ranked no. 43 for Asia’s best restaurant. The chef hosted us personally. He’s a very nice and humble French guy. I took the 6 courses for $31. It’s definitely worth the price. I would strong recommend whoever read my review here, just go for it.

It was a great experience, with well thought out and mostly flavorful and interesting menu. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the service was great. There were some things lacking like the water being served on a cheap plastic bottle and the beer menu. I recommend the mojito too.

The food was good, the service we was a bit stuffy and slow, the atmosphere was excellent. Also they kept taking my drinks menu away (4 times) - which was a Shane for a pre-fix service that took 2 hours to complete.

We had the vegetarian tasting menu and it was delicious - loved the sour yellow curry, the mushroom curry, and the desserts. Service was okay, though a bit underwhelming - we’d asked for a table know the aircon section but told none were available despite booking in advance (managed to get moved to that section halfway through our meal) and the server wasn’t super articulate about the dishes (thankfully we had a menu to guide us). Nonetheless we enjoyed our meal and the decor was stunning (make sure to ask for the aircon section!).

Fabulous. They offer two different degustation menus. For both you can choose either 5 or 6 courses (US$29 or US $34). The service is relaxed and friendly. The food was wonderful. I would class this as fine dining but I also felt that I had authentic Cambodian flavours and ingredients. My partner and I each chose a different 6 course meal, so we both were able to sample 12 different courses. They ranged from very good to excellent. The deserts were both 'to die for'. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Siem Reap.

Made reservation beforehand to avoid disappointment. Service was good. The menu changes every 2 weeks and what was served to us was amazing and exquisite. The combination of different ingredients really came together nicely to form extraordinary dishes. The salad was light and fresh, you could taste the sweetness and freshness of the ingredients used. I was mildly surprised by how well the basil actually complemented the dark chocolate ganache without being too empowering. All in all this place is highly recommended if you intend to take a break from all the streets food and have a fancy night out in Siem Reap. I took the 6 course dinner with sangria that came up to 39 USD.

Having been lucky to have dined in several Michelin restaurants across the world, I feel confident that this is a restaurant that could knock on the door for a star one day if my experience was anything to go by. The tasting menu was a delight and showcased the high quality ingredients Cambodia has. The chef was a delightful man and is doing great things in Siem Reap. The food is not pretentious and the portions are fair sized. I highly recommend stopping here for a memorable dinner on your last day to leave you satisfied with your trip to Siem Reap. I had a wonderful time, even though it was low season and the restaurant was quite empty. I would say the cocktails need refining as they either heavy on the alcohol or lacking. Shout out to the friendly staff too.

Outside of the Pub Street craziness. Quaint, tasty and great experience. My wife and I both did a separate tasting menu so we could experience everything and really enjoyed our meal. The portion sizes were not too much chef had some creative plays on Cambodian favorites and enjoyed a bottle of their house wine which was was good and reasonably priced. The duck confit was our favorite! If in Siem Reap this is a must visit for any foodie

Sadly a real disappointing experience. Whilst the service was friendly (their issue on our last visit in 2020) the food was way off the mark. Out of the all the courses only two I enjoyed. The flavours just seemed off on the others that they were trying hard to be different rather than sticking to what works. And the coffee afterwards… wow. The worst coffee I’ve ever been served. It’s disappointing as it’s rated so high but from visits in 2018, 2020 and now in 2023 only one visit has been good. I feel it really needs to lift its game in the kitchen. Front of house are ok. It’s reputation can only carry for so much longer.

The plant-based tasting menu is delicious! Even animal meat lovers will enjoy the PB choice here so don’t be afraid to try it! 😊 Definitely one of the best meals on or holiday in Cambodia.

An evening to remember Snuck in at opening without a reservation on Valentine's day... ...so thankful the maitre de was so accommodating Dinner was delicious - we each had one of the two tastings for the night Bottle of South African Ross was fruity & dry Each of the courses was fantastic on its individual merit Two courses of dessert always a plus! Would return & certainly will reccommend

Delicious, original food in a chic and quiet setting. My friend and I had a great time. Amazing cocktails, do not miss them.

The 8 dishes were quite tastefully designed into bite size for each individual. Service was simple with the waiter/waitress informing you exactly what was being served. Other than that there was very little services like no changing of culteries throughout the 5 main courses, no laying of napkins and occasional topping up of drinks ( I had to pour my own water from the bottle on my table most of the time). The first photo shows the 2 types of set menu served and the subsequent photos are sequentially posted from the first to last dish of the meat tasting menu.

An excellent dinner, best dinner I’ve had in Siem Reap. All dishes were great, really excellent consistency for an 8 course menu. Reopened in what I understand is a new building in 2022 - a beautiful space.

Nice dishes, well prepared, pretty and flavourful!

very nice dinner

Wonderful ambience. Interesting food. Delicious drinks!

Excellent service and cuisine, heartfelt thanks to the special birthday celebration arrangement! Must try if you are in Cambodia!

Beautiful restaurant, beautiful presentation, good service, but we found the food more interesting than delicious.

Value for money fine-dining

Fine dining with Cambodian ingredients and French style cooking.... Hmmm so good. The ingredients are all very fresh with interesting twist on the food that feels Cambodian and approachable.

Great experience with a slight preference for the desserts, which are truly amazing! Cambodian flavors are wonderful and the price unbeatable...

I fell in love with Cuisine Wat Damnak. This place is really worth to have dinner. Make a reservation! The chef is originally from france and you can certainly see that on the plates. They offer only two menu. But you can combine them. I went there twice and it was just great. The staff is friendly and attentive. They also have a nice wine list. I can highly recommend this restaurant. The price for the menu is fine, compared to what you get. Sorry for the "bad" pictures, it was pretty dark already.

Came with a high expectation after reading amazing reviews but left slightly disappointed. Meal was at an amazing value for fine dining. In general the meal tasted more local than French.

If I could give a 4.5 I would. The food was very unique, thoughtfully creative, and reflective of the local flavors. I had the meat set menu while my wife had the plant based. The set menus come with 8 courses, including two desserts, which we enjoyed! The service was phenomenal. The staff explained each dish in detail and never neglected to fill our water or wine glasses. They also kept friendly smiles behind their masks and made us feel very welcome. The only thing that we could knock was the atmosphere, which I would give 3.5 stars indoors, and 4 outdoors. The layout was nice and well decorated, but there was no music or background noise inside, so it was awkwardly silent to the point that we felt like we needed to whisper. The staff were very gracious to let us move to the garden, which had a more relaxed environment. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a creative and fun gastronomical experience!

A delicious relaxing meal! We had the 8 course meat option tasting meal and everything was delicious. Some adventurous items mixed in and we both cleaned our plates! Service was top notch and the chef was so kind and obviously passionate about the meals he serves!

Skip if you are asian. The food was just mediocre for me, quality and depth of flavour and texture profiles randomly put together to ‘elevate’ the dish. Service was not up to par for the price range, most five star hotels here delivers better service than this restaurant. Waiters come out from behind you to place the dish on your table suddenly and the entire service was very rushed.

This was the best meal we had in Cambodia—we are VEGAN, and they have 2 set menus—one totally plant based and the other with meat—both eight courses. The food was delicious, presented beautifully, and the service was impeccable. The food is Cambodian and focuses on using locally sourced ingredients.

One of the best and most exciting meals and food experience we ever had! Highly recommend the Plant Based tasting menu. So glad we went! Great location and friendly staff.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary here and it was a good choice. The staff are wonderfully nice and attentive, and the food is overall enjoyable. Just a few things to note. The directions on Google Maps are not accurate. We followed the walking directions and wound up across the road from the restaurant. The area was rather dark at 6.30pm so we took an extra five minutes to find the entrance. We were seated on the second level beside a window so we had a nice view. Only bad point is that it was also an area where patrons would walk by - and as the place was made primarily of wood, including the flooring, anyone walking by caused our table (and everything on it) to shake. But as mentioned, it was an overall good experience. Recommended!

Good, but… Not worth the price compared to alternatives in Siem Reap. At over 4x the cost of other nice restaurants, had very high expectations. To be fair, the food is very good. However, exceedingly small portions, and an atmosphere that is lacking a bit. At $45, it’s about twice as good as other high quality restaurants in the area but 4x the price. Again, certainly is good but I would have rather spent the money on something more local in the time I had in Siem Reap. The beef tongue was outstanding. For $30 this would be 4 stars.

Lovely selection of local and fusion dishes. Very friendly and attentive staff. We'd totally recommend a visit.

Wonderful, ambience and service. The food was not very tasty. Not bad, just not as good as we have had other places.

A really wonderful meal with lots of unusual and exciting ingredients. Very generous with a couple of unexpected courses. Service was perfect. The wine list could be longer but generally would recommend to all

Cuisine Wat Damnak came highly recommended by friends who visited Cambodia and it didn't disappoint. Particularly loved the tohor-style chicken breast salad but really every course was great! Well worth the money.

My own ratings: Taste - 7 /10 Value for money - 9 / 10 Ambience - 7 / 10 Come back again? - Yeap! But only if the schedule fits. The restaurant and food were fantastic! Ordered the tasting menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely value for money as a tourist looking to enjoy a modern spin on the traditional local good.

Some of the best food I’ve eaten, cosy designed interior with great friendly welcoming staff. Highly recommend!

Good food and well prepared. Good wine and cocktails at a reasonable price point. Portion are not big which is great as there are many courses in the menu. However do not expect traditional Vietnamese cuisine. This is more fusion with European cooking techniques and presentation, but the products are local. Great experience overall.

This place is amazing, the food, setting and service flawless. I highly recommend it and would encourage every visitor to Siem Reap to try it you will not be disappointed!

(Translated by Google) Fabulous! (Original) Fabuleux!

Very good meal, very good service.

This restaurant was highly recommended by a local friend and it’s one of Asia‘s Top 50. This means book ahead which we did via email. We arrived by tuk tuk and found a lovely restaurant. We sat inside but there was also outdoor seating. Restaurant does not try to pack itself full of people and large groups may have to be split up based on the seating arrangement. There are 2 tasting menus and we loved the fusion of food. Some were just absolutely incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience!

(Translated by Google) Bistro restaurant that wonderfully combines the discovery of local products and the talent of a French chef! We chose the 6 or 7 course menu, which offers a unique experience! (Original) Resto bistronomique qui associe à merveille la découverte de produits locaux et le talent d'un chef français! Nous avons choisi le menu en 6 ou 7 plats, ce qui offre une expérience unique !

One of my favorite Siem Reap establishment, and some of the best food I have ever had. Period. Delicious, exquisite presentation, and amazing value. Like - amazing amazing. Staff was superb and the setting - my first time in the garden area- was also quite nice. Will always go back when In SR.

Superb

(Translated by Google) Our family chose it as a place for dinner because it was a restaurant close to Salat Lodge and the taste was so good. But the attitude of the staff that greets you is hmm...'Have you made a reservation for a meal?' )'I didn't do it', so I looked at my clothes and another staff member came out and gave me a menu and told me to make a selection. No need to worry about choosing a menu Two courses. We chose vegan and went up to the guide. But when I looked at my clothes, they were dressed up. At that time, I was upset to think that we were rude to these employees... (Isn't it a place to come without a reservation in casual wear? Do you have money? Because I knew that it was at this price but could I eat it?...) I wonder if such a dish should taste good for the price, but I never want to go again. It might taste good, but... A place where everyone has forgotten the rights to be equal without discrimination. I think that it is a place to be rectified from the minds of employees who welcome people. It's a place you can't go to if you're wearing a suit... It's a place you can't eat without reservation..... If you put it in the guide I don't think no one will rate it like me.

Great for a special occasion we have been many times mostly with friends living here or visiting. A variety of dishes quick service and tasty meals 🥘 🍱 every time.

The six-course degustation menu was intricate, painstakingly curated and easy on the eyes and the palate. Easy to understand why they were voted as Asia's 50 Best Restaurants in 2015. Book in advance though.

We were hosted by the chef himself. He's a soft spoken person who can really whip up a storm in the kitchen. The food is absolutely amazing and very creative.

Stunning menu, simple, but elegant surroundings. Some dishes were better than others, but lots of thought and effort had gone into each one.

The place is not opened daily, and reservations highly recommended. They have outside and inside seating. I was greeted and seated promptly. They have 2 fixed menus to choose from which changes from time to time. The Amuse-bouche was Banana Fish; deep fried with a salt pepper lime juice sauce, I found it to be on the salty side. My starter was Lemongrass Marinated Prawn Salad; perfectly balanced flavor fresh tasting dish. My soup, Barbecue Chicken Soup with Wild Mushrooms; it had good flavor but not for me as I don't like dark meat and skin. My entree, Mekong Langoustine With Pumpkin Cake; great choice. For dessert, Malabar Plum and Dark Chocolate Ganache; delicious. They finished your meal with a selection of local fruits; great finishing detail. This is definitely a Cambodian Noveau Cuisine place, and it is obvious the Chef places great pride in the selection and the preparation of the dishes. Food is priced exactly right, if you are a budget traveller, this place is not for you. If you are looking for this kind of establishment, I highly recommend Cuisine Wat Damnak. Not giving them a 5 because they allow children and I had a family next to me with a restless child.

THE FOOD The amuse bouche of turnip and tofu cream was light. Beneath the cream were crunchy beansprouts and caramelised turnips. The croacker fish was fresh and seared well. It was moist but the exterior was crisp. The pounded wild mushrooms were also great, giving a hint of truffle and also a spicy kick. The crispy duck pancake was a little dry. There were shredded green papaya slices atop. If you eat the pancake together with the slices and chilli sauce, the flavour goes well. I also like how the holy basil was fried to the point of being crispy. The prawn sour soup had two highlights. The first was the two succulent prawns that had been seared with butter. They were sizeable and fresh, and were deveined. The second was the clam broth that was extremely flavourful. However, the green tomatoes and pineapples seemed a little odd in this combination and I did not enjoy them as much. The chef did mention that the pineapples were to remove the fishiness. Surprisingly, the soup also came with brown rice. The rice pancake with minced pork and breast was pretty good. There was a small piece of rice cracker in the middle. The exterior was crispy. The minced pork ball was tasty and had a hint of ginger in it. The breast was thinly sliced and seared well. Fresh pomelo with lime sorbet and meringue made for a good ending of the six course meal. The pomelo was a little sour, but when eaten with the lime sorbet was delicious. The lime sorbet was also refreshing. The meringue had a good texture too. The head chef came out to offer us a plate of fruits on the house. There were grapes, tree cucumbers, green mango and soft coconut slices. The most interesting thing was that the fruits were paired with chilli sugar. Upon tasting, it really was more like Tom yum sugar. The grapes were sweet. However, the tree cucumber was quite acidic and sour, a taste which was alleviated with the sugar. I thought it was great that the chef chose tree cucumbers as it is hard to come by in other cuisines. Upon paying the bill, I was also offered Tamarind candy, which tasted a lot like hawthorn. THE STAFF While I enjoyed the food at Cuisine Wat Damnak, I'm not sure I can say for the same for service. It was great that they were able to seat us in an air conditioned area at the last minute. We tried to book a table in advance but they were apparently fully booked. Called on the day at 6pm and there were tables available. The staff are attentive in checking whether you have any allergies. While I was attempting to order herbal tea, the waitress could not recall what varieties there were and proceeded to retrieve another menu. During the prawn sour soup dish, one of the waiters poured the soup into the bowl, but did not notice that some of the soup had spilled onto my friend's lap. It was fortuitous that my friend had a napkin on his lap. When I called for the bill, the waitress was wiping a table and she decided that it was more of a priority to complete wiping down a table that had no one else coming. After returning to the kitchen and coming back out she still had no bill in her hands. After she caught my eye, she immediately went back to get the bill.

Very nice dishes. 6 course US32 is no way in hk. Really enjoy the dinner. Chef will come over and lead you to the seat and greet you at last. Very friendly. Only one bad point is a lady stuff is not nice , what a pity!

Cusine Wat Damnak is probably the best fine dining restaurant you can find serving Cambodian cuisine in Siem Reap. The food is imaginative in it's conceptualizations and delightful in it's flavour. The portion is just where it should be and the pacing of the dishes is great. Add to that, a very hospitable and smiley team of servers and greeters. The price is highly reasonable too, you get more worth than what you're paying. If you're looking for a nice establishment for a special meal in Siem Reap, do check out this place.

Truly a fantastic restaurant indeed !

Throughly incredible culinary experience! Everything felt refined yet very true to Cambodian cuisine! Chef came out to greet us as well. Do yourself a favour, make a booking and eat here! You won’t regret it one bit.

Inventive cuisine. We had vegetarian which was great. Lots of pork and shellfish in menu; if that's your thing this looks great. But veg was great for us

Excellent food and service. Unique tasting menu. A bit pricey but worth it.

(Translated by Google) An established menu restaurant, with everything good, cuisine, wines, atmosphere, the only thing I think is missing is background music. (Original) Un restaurante de menú establecido, con todo bien , cocina, vinos, ambiente , lo único que creo que le falta es musica de fondo.

A beautiful spot, with a lovely gastronomic experience. We had the 6 tastings, and they were able to provide us with a pescatarian menu. Worth a visit, if you want to treat yourself!

Excellent service and taste

Wow. Hats off to the chef for an incredible, locally sourced and inspired, unique and delicious menu. One of the best meal experiences my husband and I have ever had. We can't recommend it enough. The meal is 6 courses with 2 set menus to choose from. We each got a different set and shared, which allowed us to taste 12 different dishes! Each was better than the last, with a delightful texture and flavor combination with unique, local ingredients that never ceased to satisfy our taste buds. Despite the restaurant being full, the chef himself came to our table and brought us a 7th course of local fruits on the house and chatted with us for a moment. The cherry on top of a wonderful experience.

Absolutely gorgeous. Food was delicious and great, personal service. Value for money is spot on. A must do to experience some outstanding food.

Best restaurant in Siem Reap, taster menu is delicious and a great cushion of European and Asian cooking. Thank you very much!

Nice

We when there last night, we do not want to drink their wine. And we want to drink some liquor that we brought. We do agreed to pay for the ten dollars corking free. But the manager instead said we can only drink wine. And liquor is not allowed. What a joke. I think the manager have big problems. That they limited the freedom of the customers what kind of liquor they prefer to accomplish with their meal. Very narrow minded for gastronomic industry. Their restaurant can charge higher coring fee. Instead of taking away the freedom of the choice of the customers. The management need to do some introspection. Too bad. The chef is good.

Unpretentious fine dining with Cambodian inspiration at its roots. The food was amazing with a unique twist on local ingredients. I highly recommend it. The restaurant has two set menus but if you're allergic to anything or have other dietary restrictions they're quite flexible on changing some of the dishes. For the price you won't get this experience anywhere else. My personal favourite dishes was the soursop sorbet, the duck noodles and the fresh spring rolls. Cuisine Wat Damnak is situated in a simple house on the back roads. I'd recommend calling ahead to make a reservation, on a Friday night the place was packed. The only issue I had at this restaurant was that the service wasn't at the same quality level as the food.

One of the best restaurants in Siem Reap. Only 2 menu but very tasty.

Nice spot if you want to a fancy dinner in siemreap reap, I wasn't amazed with the food but the mood and ambient is nice if you want a break from the Khmer ambience with a loved one, they have an option for kids, rice and chicken and ice cream at the end. We had a nice time but could have lived without.

Great flavours and value for money!

(Translated by Google) Fusion cuisine with French cuisine. Very delicious. (Original) フランス料理とのフュージョン料理。抜群においしい。

They went above and beyond to accommodate some allergies I have. The food was delicious and a truly unique experience for us. Novel flavors and good service, well worth the money.
