A
Chutneys
Decked out in black furnishings and pastel colour schemes, this chic-but-cheap restaurant offers some of the best South Indian fare in town. Try the signature dish, a ‘cap dosa’, one of 30 types of dosa (paper-thin rice- and lentil-flour pancakes) available. The dress code requires long pants. Despite the upscale atmosphere the prices make this place accessible to midrange budgets.

Bu Ba
With candlelit tables right on the sandy beach, this seafood restaurant is a wonderful place for an evening meal. In the heat of the day you can retreat to the interior, little more than a grove of palm trees. Call ahead to find out what’s on as weekend dance parties are sometimes held here. To find it, walk along the beach south of the Mount Lavinia Hotel.
