As part of our small group tour we had a suburb set lunch here with very pleasant atmosphere.
We were greeted and served with smiling young people while our small contribution helps then with their chosen hospitality career.
The fresh long baked bread rolls were Devine with lunch being well presented ,fresh and great flavours,
A must when visiting this city

If you want to support some local Cambodian young people learning the ins and outs of the hospitality and catering industry, go for lunch at Sala Bai. The food and service were excellent. The young people there are so genuine and good. They also have accommodation and a Beauty School starting up. I can recommend the lunch and the massage therapy. Good value for money and for a good cause.

Sala Bai Hotel & Restaurant School is a must visit in Siem Reap. I stayed there for 5 nights, the room was amazing and the staff does everything to let you feel good. I loved beeing surounded by the students who are so welcoming and who try their best to become an excellent cooker/receiptionist/beauty professional. The school gives underprivieged boys and girls the opportunity to fulfill their dreams in gastronomy. You can support this institution by staying there during your visit in Siem Reap and/or by having breakfast or dinner at the restaurant. The food is delicious and so freshly cooked. The school offers as well daily information tours with an English or French speaking guide who will explain you the background of Sala Bai and shows you the School and Hotel.
Travel with impact and support the locals, it is worth it! I do not want to miss this experience. Orr kun, merci beaucoup, thank you!

A must when visiting Siem Reap the Sala Bai trains students from underprivileged families your visit not only helps their training but also pays their school fees. 150 students each year learn silver service hospitality and how to become a chef. The food $15 US was fabulous included 3 courses and drinks.

Meeting the young students again was touching and joyful. What a job the Team does... the lunch menu was exciting and came out just excellent - this at a very very fair cost. The juices and shakes are fresh, yummy and super well made, the service flawless and the greeting is the warmest.
I rounded up with a very good and relaxing massage. The treatment rooms are large, clean and have nothing to envy the large fine hotel spas (I know them as well!).
When in Siem Reap, don't miss the chance to come and support a fantastic vocational hospitality school for underprivileged local youth. Bravo Sala Bai!

What an amazing organisation! Our family loved this training restaurant and interacting with the students. The food was good but what we really enjoyed was the experience, and a tour of the facility and learning more about the students' backgrounds. It's not just a restaurant, they also have accommodation and a small spa.
This intake of students was quite new so they were very nervous (as anyone in a new job would be, not even taking into account their unfamiliarity with western service and English!), but they were closely supervised and mistakes - such as cutlery placement -were explained and fixed. Back at our hotel, we learnt that some of the staff there had attended the school which is highly regarded. Our hotel staff were outstanding so clearly the teachers at Sala Bai do a great job. The restaurant is also in a lovely environment so do yourself a favour and schedule in a lunch if you're in Siem Reap.

We had a delightful lunch here with exquisitely prepared food. This is a training ground for disadvantaged young adults and helps prepare them for work in the food industry. They are well supervised and trained as evidenced by our elegantly prepared meals. The staff, while sometimes confused about dealing with English speaking diners, always worked very hard to make our meal a special one.
Well worth a trip!

Fantastic three-course lunch served by trainees at this hospitality institute for Cambodia’s underprivileged youth. Lovely ambiance in a breezy upstairs open-air dining room with a view of the treetops along the riverfront. Great all-around experience.

We loved out lunch here, it was really memorable.
All is not perfect, but you know why, as it is a training restaurant, and you can see that the students REALLY do their best, it is very cute to see.
We really enjoyed this restaurant also because we felt our money was well spent in a place that takes care of underprivileged kids.
Our most memorable meal in Cambodia

Sala Baï is first of all a great project created by a NGO, allowing disadvantaged teenagers to get a training, education for free in order to find a secure job in the tourism/hospitality field. I had a great, yummy, balanced and filling 3 courses lunch on a breezy terrace. Served by dedicated trainee waiters and cooked by students themselves. I can only recommend this place to enjoy great food and for a good cause.

Amazing food made and served by budding hospitality students in Siem Reap.
What an experience. The food was presented beautifully, and tasted even better.
Our family loved the experience and enjoyed the fact that we were helping these students to progress in their Carears. The whole experience was so friendly, right up to being waved goodbye as we left.
Cannot reccomend this restaurant more highly!

Our 5th time to Sala Bai. We are never disappointed. Lovely fresh tasty food. I think over the years the servings are getting bigger.
If the hotel had a pool we would stay there.Great job by all involved helping the underprivileged young Cambodians.

Many thanks to the whole team for the special time that we shared yesterday for lunch. Family of 5 with teenagers, we really enjoyed each dishes and the service. Students were in exams and stressed, but they all gave us smiles and did their job with heart. From the kitchen to the table, everything was really appreciated. A place where go if you want to have a lovely lunch and support the project. Congrats to the whole team and Thank you.
