Cuisine Wat Damnak Tasting Menu

The AGS Executive Summary

Experience Cambodia's only entry into the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list. Cuisine Wat Damnak elevates indigenous Khmer ingredients using brilliant French culinary technique.

The Operator & Origin Story

Chef Joannès Rivière grew up in France but spent decades mastering Cambodian flavors. He recognized that while Khmer food was complex, it lacked a high-end platform. He opened Cuisine Wat Damnak to showcase hyper-seasonal, obscure local ingredients (like hidden forest fruits and Tonle Sap fish) using the refinement of a Parisian kitchen.

The Itinerary & Deep Dive

Arriving at the beautiful, traditional wooden house in Siem Reap, you are seated in an intimate, air-conditioned dining room or the lush garden.

The tasting menu changes every two weeks, dictated entirely by micro-seasons. You might experience a delicate slow-cooked beef cheek with profound local herbs, or pan-fried Tonle Sap croaker fish. The meal is a masterclass in subtlety and balance, accompanied by a phenomenal, curated wine list.
