Paper Tiger Eatery (Le Tigre de Papier)

Set in Pub Street Area, Siem Reap, Paper Tiger Eatery (Le Tigre de Papier) has become one of the neighbourhood's dependable asian food stops. It is the kind of place you end up returning to rather than seeking out once, and it tends to stay busy without feeling rushed.

What to expect

Expect asian and cambodian on the menu. Prices are reasonable for the area. Dishes come out in generous, shareable sizes, so a table of three or four can order a spread and try a bit of everything.

How it rates

Diners have left it a 4.3 average from more than 1761 reviews, and the praise is consistent rather than a one-off spike. Ratings on their own do not tell you everything, but a score this steady over that many visits usually means you will get roughly what the last few hundred people got.

Where it sits

You are in Pub Street Area here, so it is easy to fold a visit into a wander around that side of Siem Reap. Siem Reap runs on the temples by day, so most kitchens fill up in the evening once people are back from Angkor.

Getting there

Most visitors arrive by tuk-tuk or ride-hailing app. Use the map on this page rather than the street address, and allow a little extra time in the middle of the day when the heat slows everything down. If you are coming from the riverside or a central hotel it is a quick hop; from further out, factor in traffic at the start and end of the working day.

Planning a visit

It is open every day. Cambodian kitchens keep flexible hours around public holidays and quiet spells, so a quick call ahead is never wasted, especially for dinner. Handy to know about when you are in the Pub Street Area part of town.
