Indian Ocean Pavilion

Located at: ITC Ratnadipa, 21 Galle Face Centre Road, Colombo 01, Sri Lanka Visited on: 30th October, 2025 We’d heard mixed reviews about this particular buffet in Colombo.

Wildish

Located at: Capitol TwinPeaks, Altair Avenue, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 23rd August, 2025 Wildish made a good first impression.

Yoroko

Located at: Cinnamon Life, 02 Glennie Street, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 1st March, 2025 Flavours. That was our talking point at Yoroko.

Hibana (LKR 2,800) was one of two ‘zero proof cocktails’…

The ‘Stache

Located at: 20 De Fonseka Road, Colombo 05, Sri Lanka Visited on: 09th February, 2025 Tucked away on De Fonseka Road is a bustling brunch spot that enjoys an influx of both curious and loyal customers.

Bowl’d

Located at: 36a Gower Street, Colombo 05, Sri Lanka Visited on: 02nd February, 2025 While Bowl’d initially started off with a menu that predominantly comprised of poké bowls, they have, in recent years, expanded their menu to include a choice of appetisers, curries and stir fries, rice and noodles, sushi rolls, sashimi and salads.

Indiya

Located at: Cinnamon Life, 02 Glennie Street, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 18th January, 2025 Indiya is beautiful.

Cheers

Located at: Cinnamon Grand, 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 02nd January, 2025 Cheers to new beginnings!

The resto-pub is…

Dutch Trails

Located at: 34 Kepungoda, Pamunugama Road, Negombo, Sri Lanka Visited on: 28th December, 2024 We finally made it to Dutch Trails – the home of the Seafood Shovel!
