Kandy Restaurants

According to the Lonely Planet, The Bake House only has counter-service of pastries etc. But, there is actually a restaurant if you go inside.
It seems to be very popular with locals. I had the best mango juice ever here - it was like putting a straw into a mango!
They have several local dishes.
Like in most places in Sri Lanka, service was very friendly.

Favorite Dish: Devilled chicken - (It is quite HOT, but great!)

My 3-wheeler guide and driver reccomended this very nice restaurant.
It is a bit out of town, situated next to Wedamedura Auyerveda.

I had a very good Rice and curry with chicken, at reasonable prices and good service. I can recommend this restaurant anytime!

Remember when ordering Rice with Curry, you get about 6 side dishes as well - so it quite a big meal!

The waiter took time to explain each dish to me.

Worth going there!

Favorite Dish: Rice and Curry

The Pinnalanda Restaurant at Pinnawella Elephant Orphanage is a great place to go and watch the elephants bathe while you enjoy a bite to eat.
It is located just across the road from the main entrance of the park and caters to the hoards of tourists who stop for lunch at the park.
A lunch buffet is laid on daily and has the usual array of curries and rice and fruit to follow. I chose a sandwich from the menu which was tasty enough and around the same cost as the buffet.
Prices are reasonable and staff are friendly.

Favorite Dish: Buffet looked ok, sandwich was tasty.

Great food, rustic surroundings, quiet ambience. If you want a restaurant that is far from the madding crowd, and serves great food, try the in-house restaurant of bougan villa guesthouse.

You will eat in a light and airy dining room overlooking long verandahs, lawns and paddy fields beyond. You might even be eating rice from the paddy field you are looking at, as this place grows their own paddy. Much of the produce is local, and fresh.

The cuisine is international--lots of pasta and rice dishes, with some very interesting asian/fusion appetisers.

The location is about 7 miles from Kandy, off the Kandy-Gampola-Nuwara Eliya road, close to the Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens and the Gadaladeniya and Embekke temples. A good place to stop for lunch if you are taking in these sights, or on your way to Nuwara Eliya from Colombo.

Favorite Dish: The avocado and shrimp appetiser--the flavours were subtle, and the avocado was just right--not too raw or too ripe. And it looked good too.

I got a bored of eating veggies and it isnt that Im a veggie, but I had to look for a restro that served halal meat. I had a tough time finding this one, but it was worth it.

Favorite Dish: I tried so many local dishes, similar to Indian curries and the way the rice is made aswell.

Needless to say, the Pub is a most welcomoing places for English or expat. It is pricy and a glass of beer RS200. The balcony is a great place to unwind and meet other travellers. See more pics for street scene.

Not knowing the restaurant, my driver drove me there so he could have his free meal, of course. A tourist oriented restaurant with inflated prices, food quality was alright. Rice and curry Rs400, Coke Rs60. It has excellent river view, a good lunch to celebrate my own birthday! :-)
