Is the Raffles Siem Reap Breakfast Worth It?

Plan your morning around the breakfast when you want a slow, elegant start, or when you finish a sunrise at the temples and want to sit down somewhere memorable. Take a lighter start, such as a coffee at The Conservatory, when you intend to be at the gates early and stay out until the afternoon.

The hotel calls the Cafe d'Angkor breakfast a champagne breakfast and presents it as a way to end an early-morning temple visit. That sets the intent: a generous, celebratory meal, rather than a quick bite before you leave.

Early arrival gives the quietest feel of the morning, while a later arrival suits a relaxed pace, especially at the weekend when service runs until 11.00am. The hotel's pages used for this guide do not list the menu items, dietary options or whether breakfast is included in the usual rates, so confirm those on the hotel's page and at booking.

The main building was built in French Art Deco style with local influences, and the hotel opened its doors in 1932. After a renovation that began in March 1996, it reopened officially on 30 December 1997, and it completed a six-month renovation programme in 2019. Cafe d'Angkor serves Asian and international dishes alfresco, according to the hotel, which puts the meal in a garden setting rather than a hall.

For a gentler alternative, The Conservatory is open daily from 7.00am to 11.00pm as listed in October 2026; confirm before you travel. In-room dining is also available 24 hours a day, which suits a late riser or a quiet morning on a balcony.

The official Angkor ticket page shows park entry from 5:00 AM, and a tour operator says Angkor Wat opens at 5:00 AM for sunrise, both as listed in October 2026; confirm before you travel. A sunrise visit therefore ends well before the weekday breakfast closes at 10.30am.

Dress for the temples first: the visitor code bans revealing clothes such as shorts and skirts above the knees, and bare shoulders, in sacred places. You can change before breakfast if you prefer, as the restaurant's own dress code is casual chic. For the route to the temples, see Raffles to Angkor Wat.

Cafe d'Angkor tables are booked by phone on (855) 63 963 888 or by email to bookus.siemreap@raffles.com. If you plan a champagne brunch on a selected Sunday, ask the hotel which date applies during your stay.

Breakfast terms vary by rate. Confirm on the hotel's page and on each booking site whether breakfast is part of the rate you choose, and read the cancellation terms. Enter the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com to compare.
