Cafe d’Angkor, the celebrated restaurant at Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor in Siem Reap serving Western and pan-Asian cuisine, has introduced an exclusive new dinner and lunch menu that embraces fresh, local and sustainable ingredients.
Some signature dishes on the new menu, available from Nov. 1, include Cavignac & Wilson, Brie de Kampot En Croûte, a puff pastry with pineapple compote; French Duck Breast & Battambang Orange Sauce; Ferme de Bassac Pork Tenderloin with ginger and caramelised onion; and Banteay Srey Profiteroles featuring vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate sauce.
Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor’s Executive Sous Chef Dorn Doeurt, a Khmer culinary expert, curated the new menu to spotlight popular Asian flavours and Western dishes. Cafe d’Angkor launched the new menu at an exclusive wine dinner on Oct. 24 with Yalumba, Australia’s oldest family-owned winery dating back to 1849.
“We are excited to present diners at Cafe d’Angkor with a wonderfully refreshed and innovative new menu, including a wide selection of dishes that will satisfy the tastes of even the most sophisticated gourmands,” Chef Dorn said.
Cafe d’Angkor serves lunch and dinner in a lively, convivial atmosphere. It is also home to the hotel’s celebrated Champagne breakfast. Diners can enjoy their meals alfresco on the terrace overlooking the pool, or indoors in the bright, sunny, air-conditioned dining room. Cafe d’Angkor also prepares take-away picnic baskets for guests on the move.
The restaurant is dedicated to sourcing local, organic and sustainable produce to promote environmental well-being and deliver a memorable dining experience for guests. Healthy and sustainable produce is provided through grass-fed meat, cage-free eggs and local fish. Coffee and tea options support local fair-trade partnerships.
Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor was named one of the world’s “500 Best Hotels” by the industry-leading Travel + Leisure magazine in April for a third straight year. The historic hotel was also honored as one of Cambodia’s finest—with special recognition for its swimming pool and spa—in the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific in June.
The 92-year-old luxury hotel is on the doorstep of ancient Khmer archeological sites in Cambodia and is considered a national treasure. Originally opened in 1932, the hotel was built as a rest stop for archeologists and adventurers seeking to explore the ancient kingdom of Angkor Wat, which is today one of the most popular UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
