Restaurant Cuisine Wat Damnak - Siem Reap

Incredible food showcasing Cambodia flavours and traditional recipes with an haute cuisine twist. If you’re a foodie and heading to Siem Reap do not miss out on this place! Great value and really warm, attentive service

Cambodian flavors delivered in a way and in a setting worthy of Michelin recognition. We had the holiday menu - and loved everything.

Absolutely phenomenal meal. This is one of the best tasting menus I’ve done, at a bargain of a price compared to similar ones. Unlike other places, the vegetarian option isn’t just a watered down version of the meat option here. It totally holds its own. Would highly recommend getting both and splitting if you have a party of 2 or more. Portions were reasonable. We left comfortably full but not stuffed. And the service was impeccable. A must try for anyone visiting Siem Reap.

Utterly disappointed, I had very high hopes for this restaurant and unfortunately it fell short of anything I wanted, before getting into the poor aspects of this evening out I would like to highlight the positives, initially as we walked in we were greeted with a fantastic smile and warm reception we had the meal explained to us in a fantastic way and I was pleased, after we sat down however it's the small things I started to notice. We ordered three cocktails to start the night and all fell short of what I would've expected for a fine dining restaurant, one was way too strong (ginger vodka drinks) and the other two lacked in any fulfilling flavours (mojito and Collins). Now onto the food, first course was a nice introduction to the night with a pleasent seafood dish, the following 3 courses were the highlight of the night in my opinion, pork, mackerel and beef tounge were extremely flavourful and the flavours were balanced perfectly which gave me hope for the mains. The first main ( jungle curry) came out and honestly was close to inedible, the lime in the dish was so overpowering and there was nothing to balance the flavour out the other aspects of the dish were honestly terrible. The second main (pan fried quail and dumplings) was horrendous, I was wondering why they didn't give us a knife for how tough the quail breast was, everything on the plate was tough to eat, the mushrooms had zero flavour, the jus was like water and the greens on top seriously tasted like dishwasher detergent I couldn't finish the food. Now onto the desserts, the first dessert was quite nice and nice combination of flavors and I really enjoyed it, the second dessert however ( churros) was really below average. The churros were blonde as opposed to golden brown, the fudge served was terrible and the coffee nibs on top tasted like coco pops. The fruit course was very average to finish the night off as well, they served too many sour fruits with a weird and confusing sweet spicy salt which was left to take back the the kitchen. Finally onto the service as much as the staff was super friendly and nice the small things you expect from this price range of food want up to standard, they served a course while one of my friends was in the bathroom, the whole dinner felt rushed, there were no placemats or coasters on the tables and the sparkling water we had wasn't chilled so it basically heated up as the dinner progressed. In sum, I believe this restaurant needs to reassess the menu and fine tune there services especially when they are in the same category for the Embassy in Siem Riep which I would recommend ten times over this restaurant.

We had a tasting menu this evening, a group of 6 people. The food was exquisite! Every dish was delicious! The service was impeccable. I highly recommend coming here for a fantastic meal experience. The set menus offered a choice vegetarian or meat based.

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.

Love that the restaurant able to change menu for my nuts and cheese allergies. Recommend to order both tasting menu and plant based menu, like u can try all of their dishes. The highlight is their foods gave the feel of local Cambodia in a creative way rather than Western style. Just the desserts are sour and sweet for me.

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.
