Mitsi's Delicacies

Reviewed By Hans V

After a very long time we visited Mitsi's Delicacies. Unfortunately they do not serve breakfast anymore, especially their specialised sausages. However I ordered a seafood sandwich. It was serve with a small salad and french fries. Absolutely delicious. It is a shame we live so far away because we wouldgo there very often for a lunch.. .Thank you for stopping by and I am happy that you enjoyed your visit!

Little Star

Reviewed By Katie_Perrie

My boyfriend grew up in Mount Lavinia and so we went to visit Little Star during our holiday in Sri Lanka...I was blown away by how good it was! So much so that we went there for lunch three days in a row! The "short eats" (pastries/rotis) are perfect for lunch, followed by any of the amazing cakes on offer and washed down with a lovely iced coffee. Honestly could not recommend this place highly enough! Popular with the locals as well so it must be good :)

I've visited 3 or more times. Their pasta is magic. Loved their Thiramusu and also pizza (cant remember the kind). I Rreally enjoy going to Dolce Italia coz their recipes are authentic and has great flavour. Their atmosphere or ambiance can be upgraded in to a much nicer arrangement. However still a no.1 fan of thir food.

Croffles with crispy bacon? YES PLEASE! From world famous coffee, to spicy prawn toast, to the best of two worlds - croffles with crispy bacon. The menu is loaded with one delicious item after another. Even the pickiest eater will find something delicious to try, and I strongly recommend to give spicy prawn toast a try. Of course, pair it with the dreamiest iced coffee on the island, and you’ll be hooked to come back for more. If you’re looking for chilled vibes and great food, add Plus Nine Four to your itineraries, it’s not to be missed on your trip to Colombo!

Reviewed By Wodehouse88

We ended up staying in the area of Mount Lavinia by accident and just happened to find this place close by. As two vegans we were more than excited to try this place out! Wow! Such an amazing little place with a great owner serving insanely good vegan brownies and ice cream. Probably the best vegan brownie I have ever had! The price is also very reasonable. We paid just over $6 for two brownies, two ice creams and two coffees. I highly recommend the peanut butter brownie and coconut chocolate ice cream. Enjoy!
