Based on the reviews we went to this bistro with high expectations. However, several dishes of the menu were not available for strange reasons. Finally we went for the ribs and the chops. Both were done freshly. While the ribs were very smooth and nice...the French Fries were soft and the chops were not only small but also dry/overcooked. Summary: more a bar than a place to dine.More

I have eaten here several times, and twice since they moved from beside the river. The foreign owner has sold out to his Cambodian partner, but the best part is that he has retained the cook and the menu so the quality has been maintained....I eagerly await the BBQ nights when for a set price one can chow down on as many ribs as one can handle. Definitely a place to visit if u like slow cooked ribsMore

Caution the delicious portions of food are huge. My wife and I split a large cordon bleu and we could not finish it all. Service is very good as well as food. New location may not be reflected on whatever map app you are using.

This place doesn't look like much when you first walk in, but don't let that fool you! The schnitzels here are the best in the country and also an absoultely massive meal. They also do really good Sangria - well made and strong, but with...proper Sangria taste. We had to wait for one of our main dishes - the red snapper - but when it came it was so delicious that the wait was forgotten, and we spent the time waiting enjoying another jug of sangria One of the best finds in all of SRMore

I have been coming here for over four years now and have not had a bad meal. I first came here by myself when on my retirement vacation trip. Since then my wife and I eat at the Bistro whenever we visit Siem Reap and...when friends travel with us here, we bring them to enjoy the food. Sad to say that we ate and visited with Werner on our first night this trip which was on 1 March 2019 and he told us that he is turning the business over to his staff and moving back to Europe. He let me know they will continue the same menu as before. We will miss his great hospitality and friendly manner. Werner, you will be missed by my wife and I and we wish you the best of luck in your future plans. Lee and LaurieMore

I’ve had almost everything on their menu and never been nothing but beyond satisfied. Amazing place with a very homey and chill atmosphere. Here you will only find laid back people who enjoy amazing food. A place great for a nice family dinner or even...a lazy night watching soccer at the bar. There’s honestly nothing to complain about when you go to crocodile river bistro.More

Friendly family atmosphere ideal when you want to try something Belgian, European or Thai. Situated a little bit out of the town center - off the beaten track.

I always have an excellent time at this very popular casual restaurant by the river, serving yummy Belgian, Austrian and Thai food. Great Belgian endives and an even greater choice of Belgian beers, served by the always cheerful owner Werner! His wife is cooking what...is considered as Siem Reap’s best Thai dishes. Don’t miss the reconverted moto at the entrance! Despite its name, there is no crocodile on the menu…More
