You cannot leave Sri Lanka without having tried 'short eats' a savoury snack which is usually had on the go. Fish rolls, vegetable patties and egg and seenisambol rotis together with a Sri Lankan style Iced Coffee (sweet) is a must.

A down to earth restaurant with a wide selection of dishes. Choose to sit outside in the garden and get a feel for a real non-tourist experience. This is the type of restaurant us locals would pop by for a relaxed Friday evening dinner with friends. Bring your own wine and enjoy for a simple small corkage fee.

A busy bar on the weekends with live bands playing most nights. It can get a bit loud inside but there is plenty of seating outside to enjoy best of both worlds. After a few drinks however if you feel like dancing, head inside and move to the music!
