Enjoy unlimited food, beer, and soft-drinks on this tuk-tuk tour of Siem Reap's local cuisine and see another side of Cambodia you haven’t experienced - full of local Khmer life, vibrancy, and flavors.
We'll visit 4 authentic eateries plus a local bar, including street food from the oldest stall in town, the only restaurant in town serving cuisine from the Kula ethnic minority, and sipping beer while watching the cows come home (literally) during sunset in a rural village. Plus a lot more!
My hosts and I have worked hard to create a truly unique experience that you can't get anywhere else. My hosts and our vendors all have deep roots in Siem Reap, and our entire menu is produced within Siem Reap province, down to the home-made fermented fish sauce and garlic-chili sauces.

Siem Reap, Siem Reap, Cambodia In Temple Town, there’s endless touristy restaurants pushing the same myth and menu about Cambodian food: beef loklak, fish amok, and green curry. But if you look closely, there are no local customers, and the chefs are eating something different in the back room. Millions of people come to Siem Reap completely missing what food here truly is.
That’s why we spent months on squat boats, knee deep in mud with water buffalo, and exploring countryside villages where locals eat the real stuff. Because it’s not just about the food, but where it comes from and who prepares it. We’ve built strong relationships with the local community to offer you an incredibly unique and authentic experience.
We’ve met the servers, the chefs, and the farmers behind every grain of rice and drop of fish sauce, to put together a one-of-a-kind experience. The food you’ll eat features ingredients and recipes that are made in Siem Reap by locals whose roots date back to the Era of God-Kings. 30 minutes
9V46+V2Q, Wat Bo Rd, Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia Kula Cuisine: Visit the only restaurant in town serving cuisine from this small ethnic minority group originating in northwest Cambodia. You’ll love their use of local herbs and homemade pickles to create a unique flavor. 39 minutes
Phnom Krom, Cambodia Get transported to a different world where water buffalo roam the rice fields and locals pick lotus seeds for a snack. We'll visit Brother Vet and his stilted home for a meal in a village older than Angkor. Eat seasonal ingredients where civil war, God Kings, and European trading envoys passed for centuries.
60 minutes
9V24+G74, Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia If a street food stall can turn into a restaurant, it means they made it. It also means that this bbq shop is one of the oldest in town. Come find out why it’s our go-to for beef skewers and what we eat ’em with! 30 minutes
Street 05 Siem Reap, Krong Siem Reap 17656, Cambodia Banana Leaf Salad, Curry, and More: A great local restaurant should cater to locals just as much as visitors. We’ll visit our favorite spot for classic Khmer flavors that remind us of good-ole homestyle cooking. 30 minutes

We have used Lost Plate in China for food tours and is a reliable operator so we gave their Siem Reap tour a try. The tour was so well planned and executed and gave us a fantastic insight - or at least a tantalizing glimpse - into Khmer life. Our guide was Siv Hong and she we all enjoyed hanging out with her for a few hours. She speaks fantastic English and was generous with stories from her life in the countryside and transition to Siem Reap; and of course, the stories of Khmer food, livelihoods and lifestyles. There are so many little details that you would miss just meandering around restaurants and reading a book.
The food was amazing, and it was a delight to visit a village and a villager's house and learn about their lives and livelihoods. To learn from somebody while enjoying the local food is an incredible experience.
Lost Plate is a 5 star outfit, and Siv Hong is a 5 star guide, so if you have any interest in Cambodia (which if you read this, presumably you do....) and any interest in food there this is a no-brainer. Do it and enjoy (but don't eat too much in the afternoon before it!).

A beautifully curated experience, with super interesting, off-the-beaten-track stops which fabulous local experiences. The food was excellent it was great knowing that we were supporting truly local businesses. Highly recommend.
