Cambodian cuisine is the least-understood of Asian cuisines by westerners and probably the least-tasted outside of the Kingdom of Wonder. While Thai and Vietnamese food is widely recognised, Khmer food is mostly a mystery to visitors. Heavily influenced by locally-sourced ingredients like freshwater fish from the Tonle Sap, sugar cane and coconut, Khmer cuisine is a little less fiery than other south east Asian national cuisines. It has its share of surprises too, and the Khmer script, while beautiful, can make menus difficult to navigate! Take a food tour like ours at the start of your visit to Cambodia, we'll arm you with the knowledge to order confidently in authentic Cambodian eateries and enjoy ingredients and dishes you might not otherwise recognise or feel brave enough to enjoy. Our guides are passionate foodies and friendly conversationalists who will help you chat to the market vendors you meet. An authentic, delicious and great fun evening!

What you'll see and do
Psar Chaa - Old Market
Psar Chaa - or 'old market' - is often dismissed as a tourist market thanks to the rows of clothes and souvenir stalls that line the outside. However, the interior is a bustling working market frequented by Siem Reap's best chefs, and where some of the best ingredients in town can be found.

Siem Reap
Street 60 is the sort of place few visitors discover. It's a night market for local food, outside the centre and far from the heavily-trod tourist areas. Here we'll discover deep-fried insects and frogs, authentic grilled skewers, and 'ban chav' savoury crepes. Many of the restaurants in Siem Reap are quite heavily 'westernised' and it can be difficult to know where to go for an authentic taste of life here. But the town is full of fresh, delicious and traditional Khmer eateries, like the outstanding barbecue at Sach Ang Tek Kapic or perfect Khmer country curry at Hidden Home. Join us for a visit to one of Siem Reap's hidden gems, where we'll help you navigate the menu and unfamiliar ingredients for a gastronomic experience to remember!

Amazing way to try new Cambodian dishes
We had a an amazing time on the food tour! Our guide was kind, funny and knowledgable. All the food we tried was amazing, and so much we couldn’t even finish the last dish. We even tired bugs, but there was always the option that if we didn’t like the sound of something we could change the menu. Great service and can’t recommend it enough if you want to try the less known cambodian food gems.
Response from the operator: It sounds like a fantastic experience! Sampling local Cambodian food, especially the hidden gems, must have been exciting—and even trying bugs adds a unique touch! It’s great to hear that the guide was accommodating with the menu and kept the tour light-hearted and flexible. Perfect for adventurous food lovers!

Authentic Cambodian food tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Authentic Cambodian food tour cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Authentic Cambodian food tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.
Is Authentic Cambodian food tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Cambodian food tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Authentic Cambodian food tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Authentic Cambodian food tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic Cambodian food tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?
+
On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Siem Reap?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Authentic Cambodian food tour?
+
Included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Authentic Cambodian food tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Authentic Cambodian food tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Authentic Cambodian food tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Siem Reap. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
