Colombo Food Guide: Best Restaurants in Colombo

19. The Manhattan Fish Market Sri Lanka

没有蜡ollingThis is an American restaurant, which is a bit strange to be in Sri Lanka. However, there are many choices of food here, and everything I ordered tasted good. As for the price, it is not too high, after all, it is a chain restaurant.

真的在一起的时候This Chinese restaurant is located in the wealthy area of Colombo. It is said that the people who eat here are all rich Sri Lankans. I ordered three dishes, scallion chicken, fried rice, and grilled beef. The total cost was more than 160. Compared with the previous Chinese restaurants, this one is more ordinary, but the environment is good. Overall, it is not bad. The boss is from Shanghai and chatted with us for a while. He was quite enthusiastic.

空空CJLoved the atmosphere and elegant interior. The food was good and the service was fast. Loved their lamb and lobster with espresso. Of course the cheesecake is high in calories! It is clear that the management and staff are working hard to maintain their reputation by improving the quality of food and service. The dinner menu is very well curated and the service quality of the team is on par with it. Good for a business dinner with overseas guests.

张猫猫爱旅行Are you not used to Sri Lankan curry? Do you only know how to eat crabs at Michelin restaurants? I stayed in Sri Lanka for 8 months, visited every province, and circled the island twice. Follow me and I will give you the most economical food, drink and entertainment in Sri Lanka. How to find it? If you can't find it, just search the name of the store on Google. Most tutu cars in Colombo are metered, 50 rupees per kilometer. (Basically, they don't meter in other cities.) Taco Bell in Mexico recommends their beef rolls. The cheese beef sauce and pickled cucumbers inside are so delicious that you'll fall in love with them at the first bite. Don't think it's delicious and order another one. I personally experienced that you'll get sick of it after the second one. The style of the whole store is also great, and it's easy to make a movie. Nara Thia, a Thai restaurant chain (must order) Tom Yum Goong is perfect~ Water spinach is very spicy (recommended for spicy food lovers). Mango sticky rice is not as soft as the one in Thailand. You must try their rice. After all, you won't be able to eat such fragrant rice in your next trip to Lanka. The rice in Lanka has always had a strange smell. But the Thai rice in their restaurant amazed me. The service is very good, and everyone is dressed very formally. They will also help you put the tablecloth on the table. It's a good place for a date. Vietnamese food hidden in the alley - Pho Vietnam Several long-term friends recommended this small shop The taste is really good, just like what I ate in Vietnam Low oil, noodle soup is very fresh, beef noodles and chicken noodles are recommended Pineapple and lemon are added to the tomato-flavored beef noodles🍋 Round noodles are better than wide noodles, and the spicy sauce is also very fragrant Fried spring rolls are also good Suitable for Chinese people's taste The drip coffee cup I bought in Vietnam before Lost in a youth hostel in Nepal I felt sad for a long time, but I didn't expect to drink it again in Colombo.

空空CJThe air conditioning in this lounge is good, it is cool but not cold, it is a perfect oasis away from the sweltering heat in Colombo. Our dessert this time is the chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. The brownie is baked to perfection and melts between your lips and teeth. The spicy chicken toast is also delicious, each portion has 4 layers, which is also easy to eat. The meals are ordinary, but there are many teas to choose from, and you can also drink special flavors of tea. When buying tea, the professionalism of the staff is also trustworthy, and they can make accurate recommendations based on the needs of the guests. It is a good place to experience Dilmah

空空CJI had a good sleep. When I woke up in the morning, I saw the beautiful view outside the room. There was a green swimming pool next to an inner river. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. I couldn't bear to leave. Thank you very much to Annie, a little girl from China. She was very enthusiastic to everyone. We stayed there for a week. It was very comfortable. We could swim downstairs. There were often kayaks in the inner river next to the swimming pool. The scenery was very good.

没有蜡ollingWhen it opened, it was a 15-story building with an excellent location, which was very impressive. It could overlook the bustling city and the scene of the train station. Although the former glory has long gone, sitting in this restaurant, accompanied by the piano music, the scenery outside the window, and the same delicious food in front of me, I unconsciously felt like I was back in the past.
