6 Best Restaurants in Cambodia

Created to raise awareness and generate work opportunities for deaf and disabled people, many of whom it now employs, Epic Arts Cafe serves a selection of tasty breakfast and lunch dishes, as well as desserts, fresh-fruit smoothies, and coffee brewed from local beans. There's a shop upstairs, too, selling local goods.

Caffeine can lovers rejoice, for at the Australian-run Cafe Espresso you are guaranteed to find an excellent cup of coffee. Beans are locally sourced, regionally grown, home roasted, and ground fresh to order. The café, in a former warehouse with a trendy atmosphere, also serves very good cross-cultural dishes, including veggie options. 

A tiny, hip coffee shop in the historical district strewn, Kinyei is decorated with potted plants and managed by knowledgeable local baristas who serve a robust blend of beans from Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The lunch options, such as the veggie rolls, are perfect for a quick bite. Kinyei Cafe is part of the same social enterprise project managing nearby Jaan Bai, and helping young Cambodians develop employment skills.

Here you can try a shake, house-made yogurt, or a brownie, indulge in a massage, and learn about volunteering opportunities in Sihanoukville. The café has Wi-Fi and a handicrafts shop upstairs. It's not the easiest of places to find—hidden down a dirt road behind the Samudera Market in town—but it's well worth the trek, as it benefits the Starfish Project, which supports individuals in need.

This charming cafe right on the river is a lovely spot to relax with a coffee. They also serve some of the best bubble tea in town, as well as fruity treats such as the blueberry frappe.

Tucked away along Siem Reap's quiet Kandal Village shopping street, this charming cafe run by an Australian couple provides more than just espresso: there's a great menu of healthy breakfast and lunches (they're closed in the evening) such as the B.L.A.T bagel (a BLT with avocado) or the Tri Grain Bowl, a combination of red rice, chia seeds, and couscous, topped with kale and beetroot hummus.
