I am going to miss this gem - Edit
Siem Reap is not only home to the historic Angkor Wat, but also to sublime restaurants that are serving perfection in their vegan dishes. We were curious to try some vegan Khmer dishes and all I can say is WOW when we tried Chamkar. The owner of this restaurant and his team really know how to serve an explosion of flavours, yet not overdoing it, allowing you to recognise the flavours in each dish. We tried the springrolls, wedding dip (YES!), eggplant dish (forgot the name, sorry) and Curry. We truly enjoyed the food, the setting and the friendliness of the staff.

Pretty good - Edit
My bf had the curry which tasted great but that tofu salad I had wasn't that good. Anyway, the large list of vegan Cambodian food is appreciable.

Fresh, authentic, excellent food - Edit
We are so glad we came here for dinner tonight, the food was simply exquisite. The menu is actually 100% vegan and we spoke to the owner who said that when he opened it in 2008, the term "vegan" wasn't popular yet so he named it vegetarian. So vegans, please feel free to order everything on there without any worry!😄I had the Iced Tamarind Juice as my drink and it was superb - tangy and sweet, just the way I like it. My hubby got the big bottle of beer, which was only $3 so worth it. For starters, we had to get the Wedding Day Dip and boy, was it divine!! Just enough bread for the amount of dip, it was delicious. For mains we ordered the Red curry and the fried Oyster mushrooms, both of which came with brown rice. These dishes were fantastic, with the flavours bursting in our mouths. Then we got the Mellow Treat as dessert, and that was very interesting. The texture was like creamy coconut jello and cubes of melon with clear rice dumplings - very interesting but tasty all the same. Great things are happening there, and we're glad we got to try it!

Top Food in Siem Reap - Edit
We made multiple visits to Chamkar - The Passage during our stay in Siem Reap. Definitely the best meals we had. Comfortable seating, quiet position in The Passage, good atmosphere. Staff were attentive & service prompt (even though they said it VM might take a while). A must do place for all diners (not only Vegans!) in Siem Reap.

Delicious! - Edit
My boyfriend visited here on our first night in Siem Reap. Having read other people's reviews we opted for the wedding dip and bread to share as a starter. It was so good! I could have eaten the entire bowl of dip with a spoon on my own.
Read moreI had the biting amok and my boyfriend had a curry. The curry was ok but we both agreed that the amok was better. We wanted to order Cambodian cake for desert but they didn't have any :(
We were sat downstairs and it was very hot! I later discovered that they have a table for 2 on a balcony upstairs, which would have been much nicer! We were the first people there that afternoon and it would have been good if they mentioned it to us.
Pros: Delicious wedding dip and amok
Cons: Very hot downstairs

Big choice of vegetarian & vegan dishes - Edit
A cozy restaurant located just off Pub Street serving local dishes mostly .
Read moreMy pumpkin melody was so good that I ordered another portion - as if you’re not eating it with rice you’ll find the portion small .
However my partners curry was ok but lacking the flavor - we’re used to spicy dishes so it may be ok for some . In general Khmer cuisine doesn’t seem to be spicy .
They also serve beer and vegan wines .
Pros: Lots of choice, Reasonable price
Cons: Small portions , Vegan wines
