Amal Restaurant
Very close to the beach, this restaurant sits on the opposite side of the road to the hotel of the same name (opposite) and serves fair seafood, steak, pastas and some token curries. There are lovely sea views and, should you wish to up the romantic ante, they can arrange candle-lit beach dinners under the stars. The set meals involve some truly bizarre food combinations.

A
Cool Spot
This family-run place has been serving up fresh seafood from a sky-blue vintage roadside house at the north end of the strip since 1972. There’s a cool veranda where you can peruse the blackboard menu and delight in specialities, such as garlic prawns and the bulging seafood platter. It’s someway north of the main independent tourist strip.

Chill Space Café
This almost comically surf, fashion-obsessed beachside cafe, which is situated in front of the A Frame Surf Shop, features reasonable shakes, snacks, seafood and more, but basically you’re paying for the atmosphere more than anything else. There are free beach chairs and occasional live music at night.

Moon Beam Restaurant
This hotel (left) has easily the most attractive restaurant on the beach. It has a salty, open-air nautical decor, and tables where you can curl your toes in the sand. The seafood is truly excellent and it’s also a good place for a sunset drink.

Rotty Restaurant
Start off with a cheese-and-bacon rotti (doughy pancake), wrap it up with a pineapple- and-banana rotti, and wash it all down with a mango juice at this simple and friendly place. It also does an excellent rice and curry for Rs 100.

Roti Restaurant
Away from the beach and a whole world away from the beach restaurant scene, this hole in the wall right on the road sells over 60 kinds of rotti, ranging from garlic chicken to banana. There are also fresh shakes and lassis.

Chaplon Tea Centre
For a break from bronzing on the sands, come to this tea centre. As well as buying some of Sri Lanka’s finest tea, you can also sit in a wicker chair on the terrace and enjoy tea and biscuits.
