Our honest list — the places we send friends.
Kandy is fifteen minutes away, and it eats well. These are the tables we actually recommend — not a directory, a shortlist.
We’re happy to help with reservations or directions. Just ask.
Contemporary Sri Lankan fine dining with a view over the Hanthana hills — the tasting menus reinterpret island classics without losing them.
Elegant dining in a boutique hilltop setting above the city, with attentive service and a calm, unhurried pace.
A characterful café beside the Temple of the Tooth — colonial bones, an easy menu that runs from Sri Lankan classics to good coffee and cakes.
A restored colonial hotel around a courtyard — cold drinks, old-world atmosphere, and a kitchen that does the classics well.
Relaxed bar-restaurant looking over Kandy Lake and the city lights — Chinese and Sri Lankan dishes, cold beer, easy mood.
Less a restaurant than an experience — a wildly decorated, art-filled mansion above the city where every wall tells a story. Go for a drink, stay for the strangeness.
No frills, no view, no reservations — just the best dosa in Kandy, made fast and eaten faster.
Or stay in
Give us a day’s notice and we’ll cook traditional Sri Lankan rice and curry — home-cooked, the way we eat — served at the garden café as the light goes down.
Fifteen minutes from Kandy's best tables. Five from breakfast in the garden.
