Bijou
You’ll know this place is Swiss-owned when you see fondue (advance order, Rs 2000) and other Swiss and German specialities on the menu. It mixes up such heavy dishes with a wide range of seafood.

Lords
By far Negombo’s most creative eating experience. Martin, the British owner of this half restaurant, half art gallery, brings a larger-than-life presence to the place and is a rare thing among expat restaurant owners in that he actually works on the floor and in the kitchen making sure that everything is just spot on. The food, which is so superbly prepared and presented that the thought of a free meal was enough to get the president himself to come and open the restaurant, is a hybrid of Western and Eastern flavours. The gallery displays excellent contempory work by local artists.

Ammehula
The young owners of this cafe claim that the name means ‘Go Away!’ and the menu features a cartoon turtle cussing about how all the good fish come here. Besides seafood dishes there are sandwiches, salads and a long breakfast menu that includes Dutch pancakes. There’s a small library of books for swapping.

Alta Italia
For a casual beach resort this is a surprisingly formal Italian-run place with a long menu that includes fresh pasta, seafood grills and thin-based pizzas. Try the authentic risotto and finish with a limoncello or grappa. Or sample from the espresso machine, steaming behind the counter.

Rodeo Pub
Blathering, homesick expats, and tourists who wish they’d never left, drown their sorrows at this wannabe European bar where graffiti’s scrawled across the walls and bacon butties, pints of larger and cocktails with sexy names prop up the clientele. It’s perfect, if you’d rather be in Benidorm.

Ice Bear Century Cafe
In a lovingly restored peach-pink colonial-era town house, this new venture in the heart of Negombo offers a touch of refined class and all manner of Sri Lankan brews and mountains of homemade cakes and biscuits.

Pri-Kin Restaurant
Chinese cuisine is the real focus of this open-air place, although you can also get Western and local meals. For dessert, don't pass up the fried bananas and ice cream.

Nobel
A trendy new restaurant with a young owner and a hip-hop sound-track. It has a good variety of Western dishes such as steaks (Rs 775) and lots of local vegie options.

King Coconut
This is a lively, popular spot beside the beach. There's a long menu of curries and seafood, but this place is probably best just for enjoying a drink and the view.

Pearl Restaurant
This in-house joint in the Pearl Hotel has better than average food.
