About
When you dine at Malis Restaurant, not only do you get to savor delicious Cambodian cuisine, you also consume an important story. During the 1970's under the Khmer Rouge, many of Cambodia's traditional recipes that had been passed on for centuries were forgotten and vanished from the kitchen. Malis was born in 2004 in Phnom Penh out of the desire and passion to restore Cambodian cuisine to its former glory and put Cambodia back on the map as a culinary destination. Renowned for its fresh seasonal produce, delicate flavours and generous hospitality Master Chef Luu Meng and his team, decided to revive Cambodian cuisine from the past, adapt it to the present and preserve it for the future.

We just didn't realise before going to Siem Reap that there were restaurants of this quality here. Fabulous french colonial building with a classic cocktail bar and courtyard restaurant areas. Food and service was truly first class and we were so lucky to be recommended...to it by our concierge at the J7 hotel.More

Oh my, Malis! This was definitely one of the fancier meals we ate while in Siem Reap and they surpassed our high expectations. The team here was amazing, warm, and welcoming. To begin, we ordered a few cocktails prior to ordering food. They were delicious!...Even though we like to enjoy our cocktails for a bit before ordering dinner, we could wait no longer; the menu was too enticing. First up, we ordered one of their signature dishes, Royal Mak Mee, per the server’s recommendation. The dish consists of crispy fried noodles topped with pan-fried sliced pork, marinated in Kroeng and fragrant lemongrass, and slowly cooked in coconut milk. First of all the presentation is absolutely phenomenal. The crispy noodles and main dish contents are brought to the table, each separated. The pan-fried sliced pork is poured over the crispy noodles in front of you, followed by the rest of the dish and mixed together for one of the most delicious dishes we have had in Cambodia. If they only served this, we would be back time and time again. Second, was the traditional Khmer dish, Fish Amok. The dish is made with goby fish fillets marinated in lemongrass curry paste and steamed in a banana leaf basket. When it comes to the table it is presented in what looked like a longtail boat centerpiece. Served with steamed rice, the dish was an amazing share between the two of us. After dinner, we finished the evening with a B52 cocktail which came to the table with a burning blue flame. It was so rich we had to share it despite how tiny it is. We definitely recommend dining here when in Siem Reap. We will surely be back on our next visit!More

What a place. We had a reservation for 8 o'clock. Drinks, starters, main dishes and desserts were perfect. Well attended. Cambodian flavors really surprised us. Fried rice noddles with chicken are wonderful, the crab as starter and creme brullé with green pepper seeds. Definitely you...have to go twice if you can.More

I thought this restaurant was absolutely beautiful and the food was amazing. I sat in the courtyard and it felt like I was dining in a world class museum! The smoked fish and mango salad was an explosion of flavors, and the darian fruit, pepper...and coconut scoops of ice cream was a treat. While this restaurant was pricer than the average Cambodian restaurant, it was five star and the food is definately worth it. I would highly recommend enjoying a meal at this establishment!More
