If you plan to visit Angkor Wat Complex for a whole day, there is no need to worry about what to eat around there since there are some places we would like to recommend you and we believe that you will love it so much if you are a foodie who loves to try out our local food.

#1 The Famous Roasted Chicken for Lunch 

The highly-recommended lunch menu is the roasted Khmer farm chicken with brown rice, which you can find at 3 different locations around there. You may try out one the food stalls right in front of Angkor Wat temple or have a check at one of the restaurants around the Western area of Angkor Wat…

One of the places we had tried out and fell in love with their dishes is named “Prahok” (the name sounds familiar to you, right?). The best food they serve here are the roasted chicken, grilled Prahok and Cambodian sour soup. 

Opening Hours: 10:00am – 7:00pm

Contact Number: 012 991 971

Location: Road to Angkor Wat (the West side), 500m from the check-point | Googlemap

If you already pass by the Angkor Wat temple and realize that it’s already lunch time, you do not need to go back there; there is another great option for you, which is to enjoy the similar food nearby Srah Srang Temple. Get on the road (Western side) and you will see a village road with the signs of a few restaurants, just get in one of them. But the one we love the most is “Ktom Sre Khmer Food”.

#3 Khmer Noodle with Prahok sauce

Even this dish has just become popular early this year, you should never miss trying this as you can easily find one when you get on the way around the Trorpang Sess (a huge lake next to Angkor Wat) and somewhere before Bakheng Mountain.

One of them is named in the translated version as “Khmer Noodle with Prahok Sauce, Cambodian taste”, where you can enjoy the authentic of freshly-made Khmer noodle eaten with fresh local vegetables plus the special homemade sauce. The best fit would be a glass of cold and sweet sugarcane.
