Read moreThe place has a peaceful and quite atmosphere.
It's not the cheapest place, but also not expensive.
The food is good, not the tastiest in Siem Reap, but the plating is nice.
The part of the restaurant is a small shop with local crafts and products.
Pros: local, great staff, peaceful
Cons: not the tastiest food

Such lovely staff - Edit
We came here twice and both times were very impressed with the service, the setting and the food. They even have vegan desserts, and they aren’t raw. Unfortunately the monk chats they have weren’t on due to Songkran.

Lovely space - Edit
The name 'Peace Cafe' fits this place perfect. It's set in this amazingly zen garden, so it was with disappointment that my only times coming here was on my lunch break when I couldn't sit and relax for too long.
Read moreThe menu has various Asian foods, but there isn't much western on there, all that I had here was good though. The staff were always excellent.

Great Vegetarian cafe and restaurant with yoga too - Edit
Favourite 3 dishes tonight. Khmer red curry, pomelo salad and Khmer kreung khtis. Superb.
Read moreWe never get bored of Peace Cafe and have eaten there for more than 7 years now.
The menu is all Vegetarian with numerous vegan options. The Khmer Kreung Khtis is a delicious dip, have it with brown rice because the bread is not vegan. Tempura is also a tasty vegan option, as is the range of sushi. Red curry is a fav as are the pumpkin croquettes.
Staff always helpful and friendly and there is a fair trade shop to buy gifts. Relaxed and peaceful garden setting, they have natural repellent to keep the mosquitoes away :-)
Highly recommend.

Real deal khmer food - Edit
I've been there a few times. Coming out always greatly satisfied. Top quality ingridients and a real deal khmer food! I especially fell in love with khmer red curry with sweet potatos. It was just a perfect combination of sweet, sour and spicy! Would highly recommend to anyone. Even though it's a bit further from the main busy area it's a lovely bicycle ride on a proper bike lane. Lovely and honest place.

Cons: I wish more people would eat there! , Go visit...

The best vegan food in Siem Reap - Edit
Of the three (Khmer) dinners we had in Siem Reap, the best food we ate was at the Peace Café, incl. a nice collection of vegan desserts. And it also had a nice outdoor area (albeit with mosquitos, so bring DEET) and staff was friendly.

The best place in Siem Reap - Edit
We especially remember the super friendly staff of the Peace Café. We were always extraordinarily kindly received and competently advised during our numerous visits to the restaurant. Many dishes on the menu are vegan. And every single one of them that we tried was completely convincing. Peace Café is a non-profit venue that focuses on regional Cambodian fair trade products and supports small local artists. In addition to the delicious food, they offer daily cooking classes for $22 per person (all dishes are vegan and you get to take the recipes home), yoga classes for $6 per person, and free language classes. The store also sells many authentic trinkets and souvenirs of all kinds.
Read moreThe Peace Café definitely made our stay in Siem Reap special. If you happen to be in Siem Reap, you must pay the café a visit.
Pros: Friendly staff, Tasty food, Additional services

Beautiful place and tasty warming food - Edit
Had an absolutely beautiful dinner here today. The setting was peaceful with lots of greenery and lovely messages on the walls - looks like they do great charity and community work too. The smoothies were delicious and had the perfect thickness.
Read moreI had the Khmer Red Curry which was great, mild spice but very flavourful. My partner had the chickpea and pineapple stir fry which was also brilliant. We left there discussing how wonderful we felt as well as the tasty food.
The staff were incredibly lovely and warm.
Thoroughly recommend! Wish we were staying longer in the area so we could visit more.
Pros: Beautiful ambience, Tasty cheap and wholesome food, Lovely staff

Amazing restaurant - Edit
We ate here twice and both times it was great. There are lots of vegan options (clearly marked on the menu), plus vegan desserts. The food was good but the desserts where our favourite.
Read moreEverything is reasonably priced (~$3-4 for main meals). The staff are very lovely and polite.
The only con would be the waiting time for food is a little long, but I think they only have one person in the kitchen, and it’s not an outrageous wait.
They also offer vegetarian cooking class, free yoga and monk chat. Plus there’s a shop attached to the restaurant.
Would definitely recommend.

A great find in Siem Reap - Edit
This place has a pretty large mostly vegan menu. It’s fresh, tasty and cheap. On the night I was there, there was only one person working. He took my order and then went and made my food. He was friendly and quick. I was very happy with the food.
Read moreI walked along the river walk to get to this place, which made for a nice before and after dinner walk.

Wonderful place - Edit
I only had a cold drink here and did not eat anything, but I still give it five stars because of the whole experience!
Read moreThis garden restaurant is so wonderful, the perfect place to wind down and relax. The garden is spacious and has many different seating areas. I had a delicious fresh juice and after that I visited the shop that sells many handmade products from several projects, cooperatives and NGOs. I bought a beautiful card and two little bags, but I would have bought so much more if there were no luggage restrictions!
It was a great way to buy something of quality that will directly benefit Cambodians as opposed to buying cheap souvenirs made somewhere else.
Pros: Beautiful garden with lots of different seats, Fantastic shop

Great little oasis - Edit
This place is amazing, really nice atmosphere, surrounded by nature. The menu is great with many vegan options and also they can veganise some dishes (I requested to swap the cheese with tofu in one salad). The yoga classes are great! And the little shop is very nice :)

Couldn't get enough! - Edit
Absolutely love this restaurant, the food is spot on and the staff are sooo friendly and kind. There is a shop inside which supports lots of local social enterprise companies and initiatives to support vulnerable people and give them meaningful work. I also did a vegetarian cooking class here and it was brilliant. I made 3 courses, all of which were so fresh and tasty. Then got the chance to eat it all in their lovely garden seating area. Definitely worth a visit, to the shop, restaurant or cooking class. A lovely little spot.
