Our very own eateries—Plumage Restaurant & The Flock Cafe—do breakfast the right way, and we’re here to serve all the deets.

Can’t-miss Buffet Staples at Plumage Restaurant

We’re big fans of breakfast at Plumage Restaurant, and we’ve had a lot of experience with the menu. With being regulars at The Aviary Hotel ourselves, it’s no wonder we’ve made our way to this establishment more often than we can count. Here are the best buffet staples to keep an eye out for.

• Refreshing juices & local fruits – To us, nutrients matter.
• High-quality coffee – Energize before going temple hopping.
• Muesli & natural homemade yogurt – A healthy, light option for you.
• Eggs & omelets to order – We’re partial to the creamy eggs benedict.
• Hot noodle soup – Now that’s a way to get into the Cambodian spirit!

With a 6:30 AM wake-up call, Plumage Restaurant is ready and eager for the early birds of the bunch. Here we only do breakfast, shutting down shop come 10:30 AM. As such, our breakfast fare is at the top of the canopy.

A-la-carte Options at The Flock Cafe

For your benefit, we’ve gone ahead and laid out the most intriguing AM munchies from The Flock Cafe that you must try:

What Happens After Breakfast?

Breakfast in Siem Reap may be the most important meal of the day, but it’s surely not the only thing you’ve got going on. After the coffee hits and the scrambled eggs settle, you’ll want to see what our neighbourhood has going on.

• Kandal Village – There’s nothing like an afternoon spent roaming chic boutiques, small shop roasteries and art galleries with a flair all their own.

• Wooden Watermill Wheel – Take a step back in time along the Siem Reap River. Get a good view of the landscape and imagine what it was like when things were different.

• Markets in Siem Reap – When night falls, stop by as many of Night Market stalls as you can muster.
