After reading several reviews of this place I was tentative but what the heck - we were here for 5 days. Not many butterflies but such a pleasant garden setting and big fish pond. Also very cool. The food was fresh but nothing sensational but the desserts!!!! Oh my gosh - the mango sauce wrapped in tempurah and ice cream... More

We had read this was a must see, and so were dissapointed, as we were expecting a little more in the way of Butterflies, and beautiful atmosphere. We actually left before we were served, as we were disappointed at sitting in a contrete quad for 10 mins, being ignored by staff. Our overall impression other than that was that it... More

Thanks to its vegetarian owner, the menu has many yummie Khmer (and other Asian as well as western) real vegetarian dishes to choose from (so even without fish sauce). Actually, we thought the menu had greatly improved compared to our visits in 2008+2009. Very friendly, helpful staff; lovely garden atmosphere. Watch the butterflies find a place to sleep anywhere and... More

We chose this restaurant because of butterflies - it was nice to have a walk in their little garden and watch different butterflies flying around and sitting on leaves. It was lunch time so we ordered sth to eat. My shrimp curry was very small and tasted mainly of coconut milk, it lacked flavour. My partner's food was quite interesting... More

After a morning at the museum I took a break with my Angkor book in hand and had lunch at this lovely spot while the tuk tuk driver waited for me. It was so peaceful to have a drink and lunch while studying up of the temples I planned to visit later in the week. This restaurant was in a... More

Being called "Butterflies Garden Restaurant" I was expecting a little more in the way of "Butterflies" or something more than a stagnant pond right next to my table, the atmosphere was dead. The food was average, the service was average and overall the place just felt unloved. I would suggest there are far better places out there to spend your... More

We ate here much more often than I would have liked since my kids loved the butterflies and my wife loved the geckos all around especially in the early evening. The geckos come out as the lights turn on to feast on the bugs, even thought bugs were not a problem for us while we were in Siem Reap. The... More

This place really needs to worry about customer service! It's way too slow we went 20 minutes with empty beers in 38 degrees. Prices are not that great and it's VERY dirty .... If u want to see butterflies go for lunch an not dinner.
