Kanell

Kanell is a renowned restaurant in Siem Reap, famous for its high-end cultural dinner show concept. Nestled in a lush garden dotted with palm trees, this venue offers an immersion into Khmer traditions through gastronomy and performing arts.

The Show. Each evening is a cultural journey lasting about 2 hours. Apsara Dance: graceful performances of classical Khmer dances in traditional costumes. Bokator: demonstrations of the ancient Cambodian martial art. Guests are welcomed into a traditional wooden house, then dine under the stars or in the beautifully decorated garden. The shows often feature talented young artists from underprivileged backgrounds.

Cuisine. The culinary experience is overseen by Chef Kimsan Pol (also at Embassy), offering refined Asian fusion. A 5-course menu starts at around $29 (+ service) and a 7-course menu provides a more comprehensive experience. Vegetarian and vegan options are available upon request. A show-only option is sometimes available (around $17).
