Located at: 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 25 Sep, 2017 The Lagoon was bustling on a Monday night – which says something about the place. And which you can understand once you’ve tasted their food and experienced their service. This is a seafood restaurant with a ‘fish market’ concept where you go…

VOC Café @ Dutch Burgher Union
Located at: 114 Reid Avenue, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 24 Sep, 2017 As I have mentioned in a previous post, I might have a bit of a soft spot for VOC Café’s Chicken Lumprais (LKR 545). Leave aside the fact that the staff can sometimes be a bit unreliable and lost with orders. There’s something…
The Commons
Located at: 39A Flower Road, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 23 Sep, 2017 The Commons has always been a great hang-out spot, with its laid-back set-up and ambiance. With a comprehensive menu and central but quiet location, it’s also a popular stop for a quick bite or a long catch-up meal. However, they seem to…
Dolce Italia
Located at: 5 Skelton Road, Colombo 05, Sri Lanka Visited on: 21 Sep, 2017 This was our third visit to the recently relocated Dolce Italia and, I have to say, the place is growing on me. From the relaxed ambiance to the friendly management and the tempting selection of goodies on display, I predict this is going…
Ankara

Nara Thai
Located at: 3 Deal Place, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 02 Sep, 2017 Nara Thai, for me, is now synonymous with consistency and great flavour. About five visits since it opened a year ago, I am yet to be left anything short of satisfied. There are a few favourites in particular that I go…
BreadTalk
Located at: 525 Union Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 02 Sep, 2017 The first thing I noticed upon opening my packet of Chicken Lumprais (LKR 500) from BreadTalk was that it had an egg – something that most places, including VOC Café by Dutch Burgher Union, tend to omit nowadays. I’m not sure…
Alexandra & Ward Café
Located at: The Promenade, Odel, 5 Alexandra Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 01 Sep, 2017 Lumprais is something our family enjoys every once in a way and, lately, we have been trying out a few different sources. While visiting Alexandra & Ward Café the other day, we noticed the mention of Lumprais on…
