  • Restaurants
  • Negombo

The restaurant is situated by the Negombo main beach road and has an unusual charm enhanced by its distinctive interior design. Customers can enjoy a selection of dishes ranging from international to Sri Lankan cuisine while watching the sun set over the Negombo town. With a very relaxed vibe, it’s an excellent setting to unwind after an active day at the beach. It has the trendiness of a street café with the wrought iron tables being placed near the road; this gives it an appealing air of informality.
