Not the place for peace and quiet; draft beers can cost about $1, or less at happy hour.
The Temple

The crocodile burger is juicy and tastes like turkey; four beers and two entrees cost about $20.

No advance booking needed; tours run daily 8:30–4:30, and visitors get to hold the rats.

Cafe · Siem Reap
The $9 brunch deal includes a drink, a sweet, a savoury dish and fruit salad; the quiche is a standout.
