A Siem Reap Evening, Made at Kanell

Kanell has been part of Siem Reap’s dining scene for many years. At its heart is a traditional Khmer wooden house, brought from the Cambodian countryside and surrounded by the tropical garden our guests know today.

Over time, Kanell evolved into something more than a restaurant. We brought together Khmer cuisine, classical dance, traditional music and Bokator to create an evening that celebrates different sides of Cambodian culture in one intimate setting.

Today, that idea remains at the heart of Kanell: good food, remarkable performances and warm Cambodian hospitality, shared in a garden in the heart of Siem Reap.

Our Approach

Built Around Atmosphere and Storytelling
