A bit mixed! I'd passed Chamkar a few times and decided to try it because it's different from a lot of the restaurants in Siem Reap. It's a tiny restaurant parallel to Pub Street and, like a plethora of others, it has a few outdoor tables. I loved the wedding dip served with bread, which had a lightly curried peanut... More

Food here was good but nothing memorable. I would probably try a different place than eat here again. It did have good veg options. More

Disclaimer - I'm a vegetarian. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chamkar to anyone. The amount of love and care that goes into each dish here means it takes a bit longer, but it also means it's absolutely delicious. This place was seriously the best cuisine I've had in southeast Asia, but would stand out just as much in... More

We decided to immerse ourselves in the whole experience and opted for Chamkar's half day cooking course. We were chaparoned around the market in order to find the ingredients required for our 3 course meal and then returned to the restaurant where we were guided through the preparation and cooking. The final meal was a culinary delight - truly the... More

Ate at Chamkar on our first night in Siem Reap and were pleasantly surprised. Situated in The Alley, the quaint little spot was simple and clean, with outdoor seating. The food was creative, made with fresh ingredients (market is only a block away) and really tasty... All at a reasonable price. Tried eating there again, but they were closed for... More

Thanks to TripAdvisor for this awesome recommendation! The food at Chamkar is excellent and very reasonably priced. The wedding dip appetizer is delicious. It was so good that we came back again the next day. We had some of the best meals on our trip here. More

I'm a person who believes vegetarian is an old Indian word for BAD hunter, and even I loved this place. Its really pretty, and the food is full of subtle flavors. And if you're only in Cambodia for a few days and not used to the heat, you really don't want a heavy meat filled meal anyway. More
