10 Food & Drink in Colombo That You Shouldn't Miss

October 15, 2021 Tambra Mccollister

Colombo is the gateway to Sri Lanka for most travelers—but don’t be tempted to simply pass through this diverse and interesting city. Take a train ride along the coast to Mount Lavinia, a popular beach, or explore the Talangama Wetland, which several TripAdvisor travelers say is the perfect place to take a break from the bustling streets of the city.

Colombo Urban Adventures

Are you ready for a real-life video game?! Because that’s what it feels like to navigate Colombo by tuk tuk! Head down narrow streets, past monuments, and into some of the city’s most significant spots, exploring the way locals get around — by tuk tuk! You won’t see this side of Colombo on your own! Sightseeing makes us hungry, which is why we’ve loaded this Colombo walking tour with tons of food stops to keep you fuelled along the way! See the city sites while tasting typical Sri Lankan street food like hoppers, wadai, and kothu from the places where locals love to snack. Eat, eat, repeat, indeed!

Reviewed By ReddyMel

During your visit to Sri Lanka, you will quickly realise how amazing Sri Lankan food is. This cooking class is thus an awesome way to learn how to make and eat delicious Sri Lankan cuisinewven when you’re back at home. The location is a bit of a trek from the city centre (45 minutes Uber ride each way) but is well worth the journey. Also, as it is home based, it’s a good opportunity to visit and be warmly welcomed into a Srilankan home. The husband and wife team are very friendly and welcoming and well organised. You will be introduced to commonly used spices and ingredients and taught some cooking tips and tricks before u start prepping to make the dishes. All in all we learnt to make (and then enjoy eating) at least 10 dishes! The eggplant moju is finger licking good! The recipes will even be emailed to you at the end of the cooking class so you can try and apply your newly acquired knowledge/skills at home. Would highly recommend.

Tuk It Easy Colombo

I am Olivier, I settled in Sri Lanka, 3 years ago after making many round trips. I live in Colombo, the capital where my wife is native. I became fond of this city complicated to capture and not necessarily very "sexy" at first glance. I learned to know these nooks and crannies, off the beaten track and away from tourist attractions.
