Why it matters

Why Chanrey Tree Restaurant is worth your time

Chanrey Tree appears in two independent guides we opened and has a working website with a street address, which is more than can be said for many Siem Reap restaurants. It earns its place here because the riverside avenue is where many visitors stay, and a central Khmer restaurant saves a trip across town.

The honest picture is mixed. One reviewer rated the food average and the pages we opened give no prices, hours or vegetarian information. It suits a relaxed, convenient dinner more than a food pilgrimage. If strict diet rules apply, call first or choose one of the vegetarian addresses already in this guide.

How to experience it

Chanrey Tree is on Pokambor Avenue along the Siem Reap River, in the stretch between the Old Market and the Raffles hotel. The restaurant describes its cooking as a modern twist on Cambodian classics, with chefs recreating dishes their families used to cook. Its website links a food menu and a drink menu, so you can look at what is offered before you commit.

One Khmer food blog we opened found the food only average, while a Siem Reap eating guide lists it as a Khmer riverside restaurant. Read that as a convenient, central table rather than a reason to cross town.

The pages do not say whether the kitchen serves vegetarian dishes, so no diet tag is given. Telephone or message ahead if your group eats vegetarian, and ask about fish sauce and shrimp paste. A riverside evening walk afterwards is easy on the flat avenue, though lighting and traffic vary, so older travellers may prefer a tuk-tuk.
