Street food is not a feature of Sri Lanka as it is in many Asian countries. Instead local cuisine (think “rice and curry”) is available in take-away packets through village boutiques (grocery stores) with brand name fast food outlets, coffee and pastry shops, vast breakfast lunch and dinner buffets in five-star hotels and fine dining throughout the country. We cover the best and feature articles on Sri Lanka’s unique culinary delights, from hoppers (a kind of pancake) to fresh seafood, (lobster, oysters, crab), colonial cooking (cottage pie), and the secrets of a good cup of pure Ceylon tea, as well as revealing incredible beach and hill country eateries.
