Restaurants in The Ancient Cities

  1. A&C Restaurant

    The A&C is a real treat. The restaurant has been carved out of a local home, so dining here feels a bit like popping in to see the relatives. Tasty home-cooked Sri Lankan meals whipped up by the proprietors are varied and flavourful. To get here from Matale, take the same turn-off as the Matale Heritage Centre, but then take a sharp left rather than the road to the centre.

    Anzu's Restaurant

    A relaxed house restaurant that's actually down a side street called Dharma Asoka Lane, this place is run by chefs from northern China, which gives it an authenticity that sets it apart from nearly all of the Chinese restaurants out in the provinces.

    Casserole

    A busy, very clean air-con spot serving Sri Lankan, Chinese and Western meals. For a good dessert, try the wattalappan (egg, coconut milk, cardamon and jaggery pudding). There’s a supermarket downstairs.

    In & Out

    It’s nothing fancy, but this bakery and cafe serves up a good array of Western and Sri Lankan dishes. Smoothies, omelettes and sandwiches are available. Their rice and curry for Rs 125 is a good lunch deal.
