  2. Hill Club

    Dinner at Hill Club is an event in itself. The five-course set menu focuses on hearty meals like roast beef, served, with all the trimmings, promptly at 8pm. The whole thing is carried off with faded colonial panache: gloved waiters, candles and linen tablecloths and serviettes. For the formal dining room, men must wear a tie and jacket – there are a few on hand, but they sometimes run out – or Sri Lankan national dress. Women must also be suitably attired in a dress or dress slacks. The dress code at the Hill Club’s à la carte, casual restaurant is not so strict.

    King Prawn Restaurant

    Chinese is the overriding culinary influence here, all delivered in a dining room transplanted from 1930s England.

Service is rather stiff and formal, but very prompt.

  4. St Andrew’s Hotel

    There’s a couple of restaurants at this venerable hotel. The Old Course Restaurant channels the culinary heritage of the British Empire, while the new Taste of Asia (open from 6pm) has lighter oriental flavours.

    De Silva Food Centre

    This inexpensive eatery located along a busy main street serves Sri Lankan and Chinese fare. A few vegetarian rotti make a good lunchtime snack.

    Grand Indian

    In front of the Grand Hotel, the surroundings are a bit cafeteria-like, but the food and the service here are top-notch. Try the kadai (dry curry cooked in a wok) chicken teamed with kheema naan (bread stuffed with meat). Unlike a few other places around town, there’s normally an energetic buzz about the place. Make a night of it before or after brews and billiards at the bar at the Grand Hotel. From 3pm to 6pm the Grand Indian specialises in good-value samosas and tandoori sandwiches.
