This place has average food in a very dirty kitchen and tools environment and with the only objective to get as much money from you as possible. Their "clean" glasses for water smelled like crap. We ordered a seafood platter for 2 and we were given a small platter with a couple of fish and squid pieces and 95% of crab shells. It was supposed to come with salad and fries and we were given only a tiny portion, definitely not for 2. For quite a big price. We then ordered extra portion and they charged an unreasonable price for it. They did not inform before and they chose to bring the big (more expensive) platter instead. Staff was arrogant and dishonest.

Loved it here! During our week long stay we ate in 10 different restaurants and this was our fave. Big portions, really fresh, well cooked and well spiced. It's a curry restaurant so go for curry! (Though pizza also looked good).

The Seahorse Inn and Pizzeria

Guest house and lounge restaurant & pizzeria. Eclectic comfort and great vibe. Wood fired pizza, meat grill & Mediterranean style food. Open all year for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Reviewed By 545ankurs

Came for the food, which was mediocre. The vibe is nice, and beer cold. They don’t accept credit card, which is unfortunate and disappointing. I’d only come back for the beer. NOT recommended for vegetarians looking for good food. Had the primavera pizza and vegan burger.

We had a great experience at Mr Fisherman’s. We enjoyed the mixed seafood platter for two. Mr Fisherman himself ventured out and retrieved us a bottle of wine for our dinner. Would highly recommend!

Reviewed By Gogilo

We ‘treated’ ourselves for one night in this nice looking restaurant with little tables on the grass and sand overlooking the ocean. We had the rice and curry and the mango chutney prawns. I have to say the food was really nice and tasty but I have to admit it is pricey. 600 for a beer is a total rip off. Also they did not have the entire menu neither. This place has potential but should definitely review their prices especially for their drinks. I recommend it though for a little treat one night.Thank you, as our menu says sometimes we have to alter dishes because we only use local seasonal stock. Glad you enjoyed the food. 600 for a beer is standard in many places in Arugam.

Better Taste

Local traditional Sri Lankese restaurant, we serve a mix of grilled fish, sea food and western cuisine. Or quench your thirst with our selection of fresh juices, lassi, shakes and hot drinks... All fresh made and at reasonable prices!

Generally I have found the hotel reviews on TA to be fair. However, I have followed recommendations for restaurants on TA and have yet to have a good experience!We were attracted to Better Taste not only by the excellent reviews on TA but also by the alluring display of fresh fish and the dramatic flaming barbecueLess said about the decor and tableware the better. Friends said drinking glasses were not clean and they did indeed smell very fishyWe ordered two grilled whole fish and 2 portions of prawns. The dishes took ages to be served. Could not see the point of the barbecue. Fish was cooked in the kitchen and wrapped in aluminium foil and paced on the flame - so no barbecue flavour could be imparted. Whole fish was meaty but overcooked,dry and overpowered with flavourings. Prawns average but again overpowered with flavouringWe know that at the present time restaurants and hotels are struggling in Sri Lanka due to the ongoing security situation .We were told that on the night we were there staffing was under strength - so we would probably give this place a second chance if we are in Arugam Bay again

We were a group of 6 friends and had a nice stay at this hotel, rooms are clean and staff is nice! If you eat at the restaurant for dinner, then I would recommend you to eat fresh fish!
