A
Nescoffee
This cool and compact roadside cafe/bar is an homage to Robert Nesta Marley and has nonstop reggae beats and Ella’s coldest beer. You’ll need it for the spicy devilled cashews. Breakfast is available from early in the day, and Nescoffee stays open ‘till the last person leaves’. (Let your guest-house owner know if you’re going to be late, because some places in Ella close their doors a tad early.)

Rawana Holiday Resort
‘See you for rice and curry at 8 o’clock’ certainly sells short one of the best eating experiences in Sri Lanka. Look forward to around eight different dishes, including sweet-and-sour eggplant, spicy potato curry, and Rawana’s signature garlic curry, made with whole cloves of the ‘stinking rose’. Wannabe vampires might want to eat elsewhere, but it’s a must-visit for everyone else. The charming owner offers cookery classes in her kitchen and provides printouts of her surprising recipes. Everything is from her organic garden nearby. You’ll need to book by midafternoon.

Dream Café
Multiple traveller recommendations fly the flag for this main-drag place with a cool, shady garden. It’s a cosmopolitan wee spot with good espresso coffee, well-executed Western dishes like tortilla chicken wraps, and smoothies and salads for the healthy traveller. Don’t be too pious, though: the beers are nice and cold. Internet (Rs 5 per minute) is also available.

Curd Shop
Tiny hole-in-the-wall spot near the bus stand that’s good for breakfast – around 15% cheaper than the guest houses – before or after an early-morning stroll to Little Adam’s Peak. It’s a good place to try curd and honey (Rs 90) or kotthu rotti (Rs 200). It’s also handy for picking up sandwiches if you’re going walking.
