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.

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.

The Lagoon @ Cinnamon Grand (Part 02)

Located at: 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 18 Jun, 2018 Yet again, the first thing that struck me was how crowded this place was on a weekday. I guess it says something about the restaurant and what it dishes out. The staff are on their toes, yet manage to keep it…

In fact, the restaurant looks more open…

Wijaya Beach

Located at: Dalawella, Unawatuna, Sri Lanka Visited on: 27 Jan, 2018 Island vibes is what this place is about. A narrow strip of beach for a backyard, staff mostly in shorts, skinnies and flip-flops, patrons lounging around in their swimwear, colourful pennants hung around, and reggae remixes of popular tracks playing in the background (the…

The Lagoon @ Cinnamon Grand (Part 01)

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…
