Authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, fresh seafood, Chinese, Thai, German, British Pubs - you name it, Colombo got it!
Some of our recommendations you can find below.
Lavinia Cafe
A great place to start your day or for snacks and afternoon tea.. Huge selection of Italian coffees, pretzels, croissants, baguettes, pastry and cakes.
The Lavinia Cafe is located on the south end of Duplication Road.
London Grill
Some (including us) are saying that the London Grill has the best steaks in town.
Imported Angus, NZ Lamb, Australian Ribeye, Roastbeef and other cuts. All grilled to perfection.
Our recommendation is the Chateaubriand for two!
The London Grill can be found at the ground floor of the Cinnamon Grand Hotel.
Cricket Club
This converted colonial villa offers a restaurant with a good range of international specialties as well as a sports bar with wide screen tv in the back.
A favorite place for Colombo's expats.
The Cricket Club is just off Duplication Road (follow the signs).
Gallery Cafe
Very stylish but still affordable restaurant next to the Cricket Club. Perfect to hide in style from Colombo's busy street life.
There are always interesting exhibitions by local artists.
