Breakfast
with George in Siem Reap, Cambodia
|
I did not note the exact price on the meals on this page,
but they all fall generally between three and four dollars. If you eat
very light you can have an American or European breakfast for around
two dollars and with extra orders of coffee you might go as high as
five dollars. My reviews are of individual meals, not the entire menu
of a restaurant, so your experience may differ. Please feel free to

Ivy Bar and Restaurant
across the road from the Old Market. This is one of the oldest foreign
run bar, restaurant, guest house operations in Siem Reap. Very nice
ambience, horrible new age music, waitresses with an attitude, and
unfortunately the potatoes hiding under these eggs were so
under cooked, that they were almost raw. This meal was the house
special breakfast, I was extremely disappointed.

Hawaii Pizza
this very basic and very comfortable restaurant is in the Wat Bo
section, across the street from the Two Dragons Guest House. This is
the special breakfast at the Hawaii Pizza and the potatoes were fully
cooked. The toasted baguette also comes without having to ask for it
and the service is very friendly and at the same time professional.
Basically a great family run restaurant.

Another
great breakfast at my favorite Wat Bo area restaurant. This is
a Spanish Omelett, (the peppers, onions and tomato are cooked but
crisp, just the way I like them) which comes with toasted baguette and
coffee (or tea) of course. |

The Soup Dragon
On
the corner of Pub Street, the Soup Dragon seems to be the most popular
tourist restaurant and meeting point in Siem Reap. Great value, great
service, great food, this place deserves the obvious success it is
enoying. Eggs, bacon, sausage, grilled tomatoes, onions and mushrooms,
toasted baguette, choice of fruit juice (I had cranberry), and a large
pot of tea for four dollars.

Singing Tree Cafe
This restaurant and yoga center has a pretty good reputation among
local expats, and a really nice garden atmosphere, but I found this
House Special breakfast to be kind of a disappointment. The Banana and
Orange Smoothie I ordered first, actually put me in a pretty bad mood,
because it was 75% water and maybe the worst Smoothie I have ever had
in my entire life.

Two Dragons Guesthouse
I have eaten breakfast at the Two Dragons Restaurant about three times
on this trip so I obviously like it. This is just a simple cheeses
omlette but it was very good and I really like the way they cook their
bacon. There are three sizes of the house special Dragon Breakfasts and
the Baby Dragon is equivalent to what you see here. They also make a
really great lemon juice "shake".

The Best of Angkor
I found this restaurant by accident when I went to visit John
McDermott's Gallery (next door) in the alley behind Pub Street. It is
really quite fantastic and if it wasn't so far from where I am staying
I might eat breakfast there every day.
This is a bacon and onion omelette and is the second breakfast I have
had there, the first was just as great.

The
fruit is part of the breakfast package, as well as a pot of tea.
Surprisingly this is also one of the least expensive breakfasts I
have found in town. I also appreciate the fact that the owner came out
to ask me if I enjoyed the meal and if I needed more tea (I already had
enough but she saw me draining the last drop from the pot)

Rosy
Guest House
On the river, across from the Royal Gardens. Looking at the picture the
breakfast looks OK, but it didn't really leave me satisfied, partialy I
guess because it cost the same as the Soup dragon breakfast and it just
didn't deliver that special feeling. Toasted baguettes would make a big
difference and tea or coffee really should be served in a pot.
