Absolutely delicious! We tried the 11‑course tasting menu and every dish was a delight. Honestly, I wouldn’t have selected half of these dishes if I had ordered à la carte, but the tasting menu showcased a beautiful blend of Khmer and French techniques that worked perfectly.
The use of local products—meat, seafood, fish, vegetables—was outstanding, and the desserts were splendid. We also had cocktails, which were well made and complemented the meal nicely.
The restaurant design is elegant and stylish, leaning towards a minimalist aesthetic with tasteful wooden touches. The staff were superb: attentive, professional, and warm, making the service excellent throughout.
The experience was so good that we’ve already booked to visit their Siem Reap location in a few days. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refined dining experience in Phnom Penh.

Wow! Highly recommended!
This is our second visit in two years (we tried the tasting menu last year). This year’s festive tasting menu was amazing and well worth the slightly higher price (USD 65 pp). Each dish was a taste sensation, innovative and a creative Asian/Western journey (see photos and menu).
The standouts were langoustine soup (reminiscent to a refined laksa but elevated by the complementary ingredients) and the beef cheeks!
The restaurant is quiet and not crowded (only three occupied tables when we visited on a weekday). The staff are attentive and professional. Only downside is the ambience and decor which is a bit bland and generic (in contrast to the food)
Probably one of our top picks for Phnom Penh other than Kravanh and Sombok (more traditional Khmer food). Thank you, we will be back!

Cuisine Wat Damnak delivered a truly memorable dining experience in Siem Reap, particularly in our situation (20th anniversary). The degustation menu beautifully reveals the breadth and refinement of South-East Asian cuisine, with each course thoughtfully composed and full of character. Set in elegant, serene surroundings, the restaurant offers a calm and intimate atmosphere that perfectly complements the food. The staff are exceptionally attentive, making the entire evening feel both relaxed and special. A must-visit for anyone seeking fine dining in Siem Reap with a strong sense of place.

The food and service is unique and good, but not relatively up to the expectations given its min expense 45$/pax for base 6-course menu after tax, service charge & soft drink (water). Portion size is surprisingly small. Setup and ambience are just one of those you can find at local cafes. Same goes to Customer service.

An exceptional meal with fantastic service. I had the vegan tasting menu and my husband had the regular tasting menu. Delicious dishes, with innnovative flavours using local ingredients. We were blown away by this wonderful restaurant and friendly service. Thank you for an unforgettable meal!

As frequent travelers from NYC, we’re always on the lookout for the next great meal. Unfortunately, our dinner didn’t quite hit the mark. The presentations were amazing, but the taste was a bit off. Honestly, it might have been the local flavors that we weren’t used to. After having enjoyed local cuisines from over 90 countries, it was tough to think that the entire tasting menu didn’t hit the spot for me, except for the dessert. The anniversary dessert was a nice touch. But hey, don’t take my word for it! Go ahead and try it for yourself.

Absolutely stunning restaurant with excellent food and service! Went there for the set lunch menu and returned a few days later for the festive new year’s tasting menu. Everything was impeccable, and the taste profiles were amazing! The fish dishes were probably the best of the lot, with the scallop cookery just perfect. My group had different desserts and all were fantastic – I dare say the passion fruit mousse was so good I would have easily gone for another one if offered. The staff were very attentive and the timing of the dishes was flawless. A big compliment to all!

Like a ‘Best of Cambodian ingredients’, all wonderfully presented. Food combinations brought with finesse and with some surprising tastes. The red wines could use a bit more room temperature, but don’t let it hold you back – great experience.
