Colombo Fort Café

Located at: Old Dutch Hospital Complex Echelon Square, Hospital St, Colombo 01, Sri Lanka Visited on: 19 Jul, 2019 This visit came quite a long time after the last one, and I was harbouring fond memories of a few tasty dishes I’d had here before. It was a pleasant afternoon, so we decided to dine al…

Arcadia Café and Restaurant

Located at: No. 9/7 16th Lane, Marine Drive, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 20 Feb, 2019 Here’s another young restaurant/café that’s been painting the pages of Instagram in sweet and savoury tones. As you glance through the window, it seems to be a rather petite bakery of sorts. However, it’s when you go inside that…

EDO @ Colombo City Centre

Located at: 137 Sir James Pieris Mawatha, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 30 Nov, 2018 Located at the far end of the second floor of the mall, this place might be easy to miss if you are unaware of it. Walking in through the restaurant entrance, I didn’t imagine it to be as spacious as…

Santina @ Mövenpick Colombo

Located at: 24 Srimath Anagarika Dharmapala Mawatha, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 25 Oct, 2018 This Mediterranean restaurant was opened quite recently, and I’d made a mental note to check it out some time. So, we stopped for lunch as we were passing by. We tried out two dishes on the day, and while we…

Shang Palace @ Shangri-La Colombo

Located at: 1 Galle Face, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 23 Oct, 2018 So far, I have, on more than one occasion, been rather unimpressed by the spread at Shangri-La’s Table One, so I was hoping (although I had heard otherwise) that Shang Palace might leave a better impression. The restaurant occupies a rather large…

Isso

Located at: 53 Ananda Coomaraswamy Mawatha, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 14 Oct, 2018 Their new flagship restaurant on Ananda Coomaraswamy Mawatha is modernly eye-catching and stood out noticeably against the dim late evening. We were contemplating a snack and ended up stopping for an early dinner. At Isso, you can either make your…

Off the Hook

Located at: Park Road, Colombo 05, Sri Lanka Visited on: 11 Oct, 2018 We made a lunch stop at Off the Hook since we were passing by. I was looking forward to having something Japanese off their menu. I had tried their Japanese pizza some time ago and remember being rather intrigued by the interesting…

Café Noir Blanc

Located at: 216 Rev. Muruththettuwe Ananda Nahimi Mawatha, Thimbirigasyaya, Colombo 05, Sri Lanka Visited on: 03 Oct, 2018 The unassuming appearance of Café Noir Blanc’s exterior is a contrast to the opulence of its interior. Tastefully decorated within a spacious set-up, the place exudes an almost luxurious yet cosy feel. The little al fresco area at…

Chambers @ Park Street Mews

Located at: 48D Park Street, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 15 Sep, 2018 Having recently opened its doors in Colombo, Chambers – located on twinkling, bustling Park Street – has a simple but cosy set-up with a few well-selected colourful décor that light up the rustic-ish interior. The cuisine is Maghrebi (Northwestern African)-Arabic, so to…
