Dining & Lounge

Flavours of Ceylon

Home-style Sri Lankan cooking and colonial classics, served with grace

Our Kitchen

Cooked with Care, Served with a Smile

Dining at the residence is an intimate affair — no crowded buffets, just thoughtfully prepared meals made from fresh market produce, garden herbs and spices from the hills.

Begin your day with fresh hoppers and Ceylon tea on the veranda, pause for afternoon tea in the lounge, and end it with a candlelit rice-and-curry feast. Our cooks are happy to cater to vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and children's requirements.

The Ceylon Tea Ritual

Kandy is where Ceylon tea began. We pour single-estate teas from the surrounding hills and can arrange a guided tasting, or a visit to a working tea factory to see leaf become cup.

  • Guided tea tastings at the bungalow
  • Tea factory & estate visits
  • Sri Lankan cooking classes
