Golden Mile
In a timber-framed, partially open-air building right on the beach, Golden Mile has become the most popular evening hang-out in Mt Lavinia for well-funded Sri Lankan weekenders.

Pagoda Tea Room
Hungry like the wolf? Duran Duran filmed its classic '80s video for that very song in this venerable establishment. It's one of the oldest eating establishments in Fort and the service is graciously old-fashioned. Although there's a variety of Sri Lankan, Malaysian, Chinese and Western dishes, the main focus on its inexpensive pastries. This is a sister establishment to Green Cabin, where most of the food is prepared.
-
Sakura
The food at Sakura, Colombo's oldest Japanese restaurant, is simply prepared yet very tasty. If you sit at the bar you can switch between watching the sushi chef and the delightfully weird Japanese game shows on the TV. Occasionally there are karaoke videos. There is also a private dining room with tatami mats.
-
Sapid
From the outside, the glassed-in dining rooms gives Sapid the look of a New York deli, but inside it's tasty and fast Sri Lankan food.
