Siem Reap Apsara Dance Performance with Dinner & Pickup

Ninety minutes of classical and folk dance, seated at dinner while the performance unfolds on stage.

An Apsara dance performance in Siem Reap paired with a buffet dinner of classic Khmer cuisine, including round-trip hotel pickup by tuk-tuk or air-conditioned minivan. You watch several dance styles — classical and folk — performed live while an attentive staff serves you throughout the evening. The experience runs 90 minutes total, with transport, entry and dinner all arranged.

The Experience

The evening starts with pickup from your Siem Reap hotel by tuk-tuk or minivan, depending on your option. You arrive at either Amazon Angkor or Morakot Restaurant, where the buffet and stage are set. The Apsara performance begins once you're seated with your plate — classical dances first, then folk styles that tell stories of Cambodian tradition. The performance runs continuously while you eat, so there's no waiting between courses and the show.

The buffet holds traditional Cambodian dishes: curries, stir-fries, rice, fresh vegetables and proteins prepared in Khmer style. Staff circulate to refill plates and pour water; a cool towel arrives during the meal. The dances shift in tempo and costume — some slow and formal, others faster and more playful — so the evening doesn't flatten into a single rhythm. By the time the final dance ends, the meal is done and the tuk-tuk is waiting to take you back to your hotel.

Top questions

What kinds of Apsara dances will I see during the performance?

The performance includes both classical and folk Apsara styles. Classical dances are formal and slow, performed in traditional costume, while folk dances are faster and tell stories from Cambodian daily life and legend.

Is the buffet dinner included in all the ticket options?

Two of the three options include the buffet dinner with the show; one option is the show only, without the meal. Check which option you're booking at checkout.

How do I get to the restaurant from my hotel?

Round-trip transport is included: a shared tuk-tuk or air-conditioned minivan picks you up from your Siem Reap hotel and returns you after the performance ends. The driver waits while you eat and watch the show.

The performance itself runs 90 minutes. Add travel time to and from your hotel — typically 15 to 20 minutes each way depending on traffic and your hotel's location.
