FOOD
Overview: The main tourist area to eat, drink and lounge takes place in downtown Siem Reap, where the Old French Quarter and Old Market are – just west of the Siem Reap River and east of Sivatha Road. Downtown is located west of the Siem Reap River and is concentrated into a few blocks. The French Quarter and Old Market immediately set themselves off from the rest of Siem Reap with their European-style architecture, bars and restaurants. Here you can street vendors selling handbags, etc. and retail shops selling clothes and knick-knacks.
The Old Market and Old French Quarter in Siem Reap offer all types of food. In the Old Market area, you'll find anything from European/Western food to lots of Indian food such as Curry Walla and of course, Khmer food (both at restaurants and food stalls).
The Red Piano
Cost: Food at the Red Piano restaurant costs anywhere from $1.50 to $15.00. A coke is about $1 to $1.50 and beer about $1.50 in bottles. They serve anything from Thai to any other international foods. Thai food here runs around $3 to $4 USD. The Red Piano has a small step up and a nice patio area. Fairly accessible if you can mount a step about 4 inches. The entrance to the bathroom here is pretty small, however, and difficult to maneuver around.

Cost: So, food in the Old Market costs between $3 to $10, depending on what and how many you order.
