Discover Restaurants offering the best Seafood food in Jaffna, Northern Province, Sri Lanka. Jaffna (Tamil: யாழ்ப்பாணம், translit. Yāḻppāṇam, Sinhalese: යාපනය, translit. Yāpanaya) is the capital city of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka. It is the administrative headquarters of the Jaffna district located on a peninsula of the same name. With a population of 88,138, Jaffna is Sri Lanka's 12th largest city. Jaffna is approximately six miles (9.7 kilometres) from Kandarodai which served as an emporium in the Jaffna peninsula from classical antiquity. Jaffna's suburb Nallur served as the capital of the four-century-long medieval Jaffna kingdom. Prior to the Sri Lankan civil war, it was Sri Lanka's second most populated city after the commercial capital Colombo. The 1980s insurgent uprising led to extensive damage, expulsion of part of the population, and military occupation. Since the end of civil war in 2009, refugees and internally displaced people have started to return to their homes and government and private sector reconstruction has begun.

VisitedI Fort Hammenhiel island and had lunch at the Fort Hammenhiel restaurant in the mainland. Beautiful location and a great place to have a meal when in Jaffna. We had a very warm welcome and had delicious lunch of an excellent crab curry made by the navy staff. Very courteous and friendly staff. Restaurant is open to everyone, however the resort accommodation is restricted to Navy personal and their families.
