Where to eat Contemporary food in Colombo: The Best Restaurants and Bars

July 17, 2020 Flossie Demartino

Find out what Contemporary restaurants to try in Colombo. 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.

We were not too impressed by the quality of food that was served, Though the host / manager was excellent. The food was served in record quick time and we were done in less than 70 minutes for a three course meal. A bit over rated.

Botanik Bistro & Roof Top Bar

Botanik has been conceptualized and created by Cantaloupe & Co. to encompass a lifestyle venue with Botanical elements presented in the space through real life, art, design, and its food and beverage. We have teamed up with Chef Rishi Naleendra, a brillia

Botanik has great scenic views from the outdoor patio, reasonable happy hour prices for wine and beer, and very helpful wait staff. Ambience is terrific. The food was not, though. Our duck dinner was tiny in size and salty, and the garbanzo salad with feta cheese belongs on no menu anywhere. Tasteless, sorry to say. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. Thank you for your honest review of our rooftop restaurant and bar, while we are sorry to hear that the food did not meet your expectations.We are very sorry to hear this, since we have designed the menu in collaboration with Sri Lanka's first Michelin- Star Chef, which we receive primarily positive reviews about. The Chickpea dish is one that is very popular with vegetarians and is meant to be ordered as a side dish and not a main, however we do understand that these flavours and ingredients are not for everyone. Regarding the Duck dish, we will definitely take your feedback into consideration and will look into improving. We do hope you are able to come in another time and try other dishes that we feel would be more in line with your tastes. Please do not hesitate to e-mail us at [email protected] to let us know when you can come in again for another visit and we would like to personally recommend dishes for you to get the true Botanik experience.Looking forward to hearing from you.

The hotel is in a quiet residential area but still reasonably convenient.It is a boutique hotel but quite spacious. I had a suite upstairs - large, with nice asian furnishings, very comfortable bed, and a good bathroom.The lobby areas are very comfortable with plenty of seating. There is an outdoor dining area which is good for breakfast and a dining room which is quite classy.Food is superb - some of the best in Colombo and i have dined at a lot of restaurants here over the years. - both western and local.I look forward staying again in future.Dear Guest, Thank you for reviewing Paradise Road Tintagel Colombo.

Reviewed By Binodhs

I am visiting Sri Lanka and took my family to lunch at Ayu. The reservation process was simple. The food was diverse and very scrumptious. The staff was friendly. The only constructive feedback is the service was extremely slow. We ordered drinks and it took a long time, the water was not filled in a timely manner etc.There were only three ladies to serve the entire restaurant. There were many busboys but in the typical Asian mindset there was a hierarchy.Overall good place to take family.Thank you Binodhs for taking the time to share your feedback. We have noted your constructive comments and sorry to hear that your overall experience was not as positive as it should have been. However, please do give us another chance at AYU and we will ensure your experience will be much better! Thank you once again.

Cloud Red

Reviewed By queenpersiaau

If your looking for a different aspect of Colombo visit Cloud Red, the rooftop bar and restaurant at the Cinnamon Red Hotel. Great drinks menu and really tasty food. We had intended to stay for drinks and move onto another restaurant but the food was delicious so we spent the afternoon/evening here. It does get busy so if you' want to be sure to get a table arrive before 6pm. Sun sets over the infinity pool on the opposite side of the bar but it is well worth the trip, plus great photo spot.Dear Guest, Thank you for reviewing Cloud Red, the rooftop bar of Cinnamon Red ColomboWe are delighted to note that you have had a memorable experience and enjoyed the views from our rooftop bar. We appreciate your recommendation and suggestions. We look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you back in the near future.Best Wishes!
