Leonardo
Located at: 104 Poruthota Road, Negombo, Sri Lanka Visited on: 05th September, 2024 Located on Negombo’s most vibrant and touristy street, Leonardo offers a cozy and serene ambience to enjoy a spot of Italian cuisine.

The Euro Diaries: Currywurst, Potato Salad, Döner, Sossklopse, Brezel and Weisse Grün in Berlin
Currywurst Five out of five. That’s how many days we had currywurst during our stay in Berlin. One might think that we’d be tired of it by now but, truth be told, we were craving currywurst again a few days ago. It’s not something you tire of that easily. It’s essentially a pork sausage that…
