Ivy Guest House (Siem Reap)

Review of breakfast. Friendly staff, not the quickest service but only 2 staff members. Very quiet atmosphere, I was the only one eating! Great portion size, quality ingredients. I went veggie on this one so I can't testify to the sausage or bacon, but all the other things were excellentquality and cooked well. Price was very very reasonable at $4.75 for meat or veggie full fry up.

From the outside it looks unassuming, but this bar is a great little find for a relaxed drink and food! On Thursdays they have a rock n roll bingo which is a laugh (and for charity) and on Fridays it's tapas night with all dishes and wines/cocktails $1.50... the rest of the time draught beer is 50c and the staff are chill and friendly and there's usually a couple of people to chat to at the bar.

We ate here on our 1st night in Siem Reap and then spent the rest of our trip trying to find it again because we were so impressed with the food and the welcoming atmosphere. Finally found it on our last night and had the most amazing meal. The fried banana with orange and rum is out of this world. Definitely recommend.

I just made a new visit and had the All Day Breakfast Special - very good meal (English style breakfast - including tea) for $4.50 - I have included some more photos. Very nice and friendly staff too. Edit July 26, 2019 - had the Blue Cheese and Bacon burger for the first time in years, on a recent visit. Forgot how good it is. The first few times I came to Siem Reap the Ivy was right across from the Old Market, it was quite a good location and I liked the food. A few years later the rent prices went up (in the Old Market area) and they moved to their present location. It is kind of dark and quiet, but the food is good and on a really hot day it feels good to go in here have a few beers, something to eat and delay getting back out into the daylight.

One of the longest running, family owned and operated guesthouses and restaurants in town. Great food, great people and great conversations have been happening for 20 years. As a guesthouse it's not fancy, but it's clean, quiet and still just a 10 minute walk from the insanity of Old Market and Pub Street. The food is awesome--a mix of western and Khmer. It's all delicious.

We didn't stay at the hostel but popped in for breakfast which far exceeded our expectations for an English breakfast! The breakfast was an inventive blending of the traditional and kehmer, with poached eggs sitting next to home made hash browns and leafy greens. Excellent friendly staff, great service and nice ambience made for a great eating experience. Recommended for anyone searching for a good value for money meal.

The tapas menu was hit and miss. The pork ribs were a miss as was the fish and morning glory dish. The mango shrimp was delicious and the samosas were also. Don't bother with mixed drinks, they were lousy. Draft beer for 75 cents was good but it's 50 cents at many places. They weren't busy and service was slow.

I didn't stay here. I just came for a beer with a friend. Free wifi. Friendly service. Between 4pm and 6pm a draught beer is 75c. After happy hour it's still only 1 USD I was advised to try the tapas Friday's where they have small dishes for $1.50 per plate. They are small so i advise at least 2. It's a popular evening so I suggest arriving before 7pm to have a decent chance of grabbing a table. Most of the food is luke warm. The service is good despite how busy it is. I'll be back.
