Local cuisine in Hikkaduwe is tasty and good, but in general is quite uniform. In general, the menu in all establishments is about the same. From the memorable - perhaps the local Roth. , Bread that makes out of uneasy wheat flour (on the view of something like a pancake with different fillers).
Happy taste local yogurt Lassuit which can be clean or fruit.
And, of course, seafood : They are cheap, tasty cooked, crabs and shrimps are huge! Real Paradise for such a kitchen. If there is a menu jaffles. - That is just fried toasts with filling, but tasty enough.
Be sure to try Fresh Freasha and Teas , After all, you are in the homeland of tea!
By the way, tea in Hikkaduve can be bought, for example, in the supermarket (the choice is large), but the juices in stores can remind, rather, concentrate syrups. In general, almost all restaurants are located along the road (there are also hotels, shops). And still there fish market . If you want to buy seafood to prepare them yourself, then you need to go early in the morning. Well, at least by 7 in the morning (the entrance ticket is worth 25 rupees). Fishermen are standing with a commodity and something type of auction is carried out. All this is very colorful, even too (and mostly sold fish and shrimp. By the way, 1000 rupees per kilogram of large shrimps is very even inexpensive!).
And here's another: restaurants and cafes, where they dine most of their locals are the best choice for a tourist. You won't lose (let them look not very glamorous)! And now we will walk around restaurants that are considered the best for public tourist opinions.
ASIAN JEWEL BOUTIQUE HOTEL
(on the shore of Lake Hikkaduva, not far from the road Hikkaduwa-Baddegama RD)This is a traditional restaurant and other Asian countries in the world. On average, the second meals stand in this cafe about 1,300 rupees, which for some tourists it seems expensive (but the situation is appropriate). So, you can say it is "typical tourist place." It is better to try the dishes of local cuisine here, bypassing Japanese or Chinese food. The place is quite difficult to detect (if, of course, you did not stop at the hotel to which the restaurant belongs) - there is no no sign on it! But what a pleasant surprise awaits you when the restaurant, nevertheless, there will be; What a good service! The establishment is located a bit far away from the main road, and silence and calm reigns there. You can get to Tuk-Tuka, as the restaurant is not in the main tourist area (by the way, the restaurant workers will gladly be convened with the driver of a Tuk-Tuka or a taxi, so that those took you after the meal).
"Burger Shag"
(642 Galle Road)A pretty burger-cafe is located on Galle Road in Hikkaduwe. Here, by the way, I will not even like the meathers: the host of the institution carefully relate to all the requests of their visitors. By the way, the restaurant owners are wonderful people who are ready to give several delight tips (regarding real prices for excursions, master classes, etc.). A place for those who, after a long holiday in Sri Lanka managed to miss the western kitchen (after all, hamburgers here - just download it!). However, prices, again, are not the lowest for Sri Lanka, but everything is somehow at home and with love! At least once, but it costs to go here."Mangrovia Lagoon Restaurant"
(Beretuduwa Road)This is an Italian cuisine restaurant. Again, for those who have already tried lunches in establishments with local residents. The beautiful quiet restaurant with 3-4 tables, on the shore of the lagoon, literally in the jungle (in such restaurants of tourists, in the jeep safari on the island) offers a really tasty food, a worthy choice of wines and prices that fully justify themselves. Perfect for a small romantic dinner.
Bookworm Library Restaurant
(on Galle Road, near the Hotel Drifters Hotel & Beach Restaurant, south of the city center)The beach traditional restaurant of the Srilasky cuisine offers, perhaps, the best rice with curry on the island. Moreover, the choice of curry is very impressive - some of the dishes have never tried even local. The restaurant's chip is that it offers a "private" roof place that needs to be booked in advance (and better per day). The chef itself works as a waiter. Prices are very pleasant. The restaurant is a bit difficult to find - you need to find a small bookstore: and you are in place! Be sure to visit!"Gusto"
(356 Galle Road, next to the hikkaduva bus)The cafe-restaurant is a bit different from all - its simple home kitchen. If the traditional Srilaskian cuisine has already been typing and even tired of the exotic - look at this restaurant in the morning on pancakes and cheesens (and the cafe works from 7 am), and at dinner for cutlets and borsch, roasted potatoes and much more. By the way, there are local cuisine in the menu, however, adapted to the tastes of Europeans. In general, everything is simple and tasteful. There are desserts - chocolate muffins and profitrols with custard. But there is no alcohol. But for guests cafes - sun beds, mattresses and umbrellas on the beach (plus free shower and Wi-Fi).
"COOL Spot"
(327 / a, Galle Road, near the hotel Chaya Tranz Hikkaduwa)Very good restaurant, located on the main road. The staff is pleasant and working, and the food is canceled: excellent curry, fish, shrimp and much more (bring quickly). I advise you to try fried rice with seafood. Prices are moderate, the interior is simple (it is better to sit on the second floor on the balcony). By the way, the staff is always wondering what curry (for example) you prefer: a fain or softer - believe me, the Europeans are quite difficult to "cope" with Asian spices, so we take these questions seriously.
"Aroma Restaurant"
(285 Galle Road, next to the hikkaduva bus)This is a restaurant of the most different Asian cuisine. Super cute restaurant where you feel like at home. The owner of the institution is a very friendly person. Outside, the restaurant looks very decent: white showcase and huge signs that bragged with delicious traditional Srilaskian cuisine and organic products. The decor of the inside is quite simple, can be said, rustic, but absolutely decent photo in Instagram. As for food, it is at least the original.
