Pou Restaurant and Bar - one of the best restaurants in Siem Reap

Hi Food-lovers,

In my last trip to Siem Riep – Cambodia, where I stayed for around 10 days, I was able to sample and enjoy food in many of the highly rated restaurants. I researched and tried all kinds of restaurants, from fine dining, moderately priced, local cuisine and cheap eats. I had the pleasure of dining at many great places, but a restaurant stands out as one of the very best. It’s Pou Restaurant and Bar. I was so impressed by this restaurant that I went back three times during my visit. That’s something I never do as I enjoy trying out new places each time.

Pou’s price rance sits somewhere in the middle compared to other establishments in the city. However, the food was far better than many high price and fine dining restaurants.

The talented young Chef Mengly, who is the Master Chef of Pou - won the ‘Street Food Festival of Siem Reap’ with his innovative and contemporary style of Cambodian cuisine with a mix of iconic street dishes.

The Menu & The Price
The Chef create a menu full of inspiration. It was one of simplicity with an injection of freshness and adventure

One night I ordered 2 dishes, a perfect dinner for two cost only 14.25 USD. Which I thought was very reasonably priced.

The Food & The Taste

The taste is out of the box flavor combinations and artistic plating to which presents the food well. It was well suited to the more approachable style with the rustic decor. Pou gives a unique culinary view that great food should be fun yet sophisticated, innovative yet familiar and expressive.

My favourite dish is "Grilled mackerel". Don't miss this outstanding local dish. In this dish, the blue Wasabi mayonnaise makes all flavour mix and dance together like a party on your taste buds.

The amazing dish “Steamed and mashed crab in coconut cream” is so tasty and has the different textures. It’s an innovative dish featuring high quality produce, beautiful flowers, herbs and vegetables.

The Service
The services I received was great. The staff were kind and friendly. And the chef came to talk to the diners afterwards.
The owner has done well in running a high quality restaurant.
