Colombo’s Biggest Brunch @ Cinnamon Lakeside
Located at: 115 Sir Chittampalam A Gardiner Mawatha, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 04 Aug, 2019 When it comes to brunches and buffets, there is barely a shortage in Colombo.

Cheers @ Cinnamon Grand
Located at: 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 22 Jul, 2019 This classic sports bar is always abuzz when there’s any significant sporting event happening anywhere around the world. That aside, it’s also a pretty chilled out spot for a bit of lunch, evening snack or dinner. They dish out your typical…
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.

The Dubai Diaries: Seafood Market @ Le Méridien Dubai
Located at: Airport Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 21 Apr, 2019 Seafood Market started us off with an entrée of vegetable spring rolls and sesame prawn toast, both of which were quite good.

The Dubai Diaries: Motomachi @ Dubai Festival City
Located at: Crescent Street, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 20 Apr, 2019 Here’s a good, casual spot for a decent Japanese meal. It’s near the Waterfront of Dubai Festival City (DFC) and has outdoor seating if you prefer some alfresco dining (not during the summer, of course!). It was our second visit, and it…

Located at: 1 Galle Face, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 16 Mar, 2019 Price : LKR 3,900 (serves 02) Availability : Daily, 15:00 – 17:00 I was keen on, yet slightly apprehensive about, trying out Shangri-La’s high tea as Table One and Shang Palace hadn’t quite impressed so far. I’m glad to say that their…

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…
