Evening Food Tour in Siem Reap

Bike and taste Siem Reap’s vibrant food culture when it is at its most appetizing, in the evening just before sunset.
This is the perfect time to experience some of the truly unique local Khmer delights you simply won’t find on any menu on the tourist trail. The heat of the day gives way quickly to a feeling of calm in the city, as we set out on the backstreets to stop by colorful food stalls, quirky eateries, local night markets and even visiting a local fairground for some fun.
We conclude our experience with a very special dinner in a vegetable garden hosted by members of our local community.
This tour is not suitable for those with severe food allergies. Some of the treats consumed on this tour contain peanuts, fish sauce and a wide variety of other safe but exotic ingredients. There are vegetarian options subject to vendor availability.

Please note: Cambodian day tours will not operate April 14th, 15th & 16th due to Khmer New Year celebrations. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Tour Itinerary

Start Time: 3 pm – End Time: 7:30 pm

Our evening starts at 3 pm at the Grasshopper Shop.

First, we ride to a stall famous for its BBQ beef. After a quick nibble, we pedal past homes and businesses to enjoy a special delicacy of char-grilled giant snails, with a tofu option available for the faint of heart.

We bypass the bustle of the smaller neighborhood markets and children going home from school, to one of the most popular local food night markets, awash with color and tasty treats. We set out to pick & mix among the offerings which include delicacies such as pig ears and tripe, as well as our favorite: fish curry soup.

After that delicious detour, we ride through some iconic Cambodian countryside to the local fairground where, as the sun sets, we munch our way through stalls serving up lotus buds, deep-fried insects and a wonderful array of sweet treats as well as fruits which have no name in English!

After a short transfer, we conclude our foodie fantasy with a very special dinner with members of our local community in their vegetable garden. From farm to plate we enjoy the conversation over a truly traditional family meal washed down with rice wine and a couple of cool beers for good measure.

At the close of our ride, an air-conditioned van is waiting to transport us back to the Grasshopper shop in Siem Reap, arriving around 7:30 pm, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the evening’s cultural activities in town.

GUEST REVIEWS

Took this tour to learn a bit more about the food in Cambodia and how it was sold and made. The tour did not disappoint! Our guide, Bota, took us through winding streets sampling wonderful fare from across the city. BBQ Beef, Snails, wonderful markets awash in smells and sites we had never seen before. The evening was capped off with a wonderful home cooked meal by a lovely lady in her home...tremendous! This is a great trip...do it!

A must for everyone fit enough to bike! The tour is amazing and very well organized! Since we did visit Siem reap in the low season we were the only 2 to enjoy the tour. (We highly advice to go in the low season it might be hot and rainy mostly but there is only 1 hour of rain and this is most of the time in the evening. On top of this we were almost alone in all the tempels. There are very less tourists). It felt like we had a private tour. Sambo was our tour guide. He explained everything very well! He makes some amazing pictures too.We were provided with fresh fruits, good dinner and cold drinkable (closed bottle) water drinks. Once you return to your starting point you are provided with nice fresh cold towels. We also got a cold fresh coconut. We also got a nice grasshopper present at the end of the tour.Grasshoppers are very eco friendly and highly against plastic use what we as a couple support a 100%!
