As a rule, tourists staying in Sri Lanka fill in hotels. Sometimes they take the "all inclusive" packages, in other cases they take only breakfasts, and dinners - at a separate request (most often, it happens in the Gasthaus). In many restaurants, unawatuna food is adapted for Europeans, and the waiters are kindly interested, whether you wish you a fighter or softer dish. In any case, it is not necessary to fear acute food - this sharpness is different in a degree of degree from the usual for Europeans.
This burning taste Chile pepper which stimulates digestion and dilutes blood, thereby facilitating the stay in the hot climate. In addition Fig Frequent enough, so he never interferes a little spice. The undoubted dignity of local cuisine is that food is in most cases a lean and pretty light (if you do not overeat), prepared at the minimum number of coconut plates and without animal fats. But set up the fact that Frame Lankansky differs from the usual Russian menu.

Try I. Crab and Lobster Grilled fried. They are more likely to be fed, with water-sweet or garlic sauce, with rice or french fries.
Local sweets Very safe and tasty, but better in decent institutions. But the products with creams are better to avoid. Lankan strong alcoholic beverages taste so-so, but quality, nevertheless, is not bad - the main thing is to know the measure. Try I. Lankan beer. - Very decent!

As for specific restaurants, here's some of the recently well-deserved favorites among tourists.
"KOKO's Beach Bar & Grill"
(YDDehimulla RD)There is a familiar fast food (very tasty burgers!), And the traditional Lankan cuisine. Everything is very tasty, the portions are large, the staff is very helpful. The only minus is that the restaurant will be pulled out deep into the beach, and therefore tables overlooking the ocean. Well, the fact that in the afternoon there is quite difficult to stay, as the umbrellas are small, and plastic mebel is thinning so hard that it is difficult to sit, then how to sit inside is not very pleasant - there is little space and not very clean, as if. In fact, the restaurant reminds the usual elf, but it is very cheap. As far as I know, the owners of the bar - the Englishman, and sometimes here you can taste their traditional Fish & Chips. And here's another - 10% are included in the account, which is very convenient.
"Blow Hole Restaurant"
(Devala Rd, closer to the temple)Many tourists call this institution with the best restaurant on the coast. Indeed, prices and greater portions are pleasantly surprised. Delicious Freshi, pleasant service. Prepare very tasty!
Probably, this is the only place in the city where the syrup is brought separately to the Lassi to add to taste. The perfect place and for breakfast, and to Curry here they bring to papades (a thin round cushion from lenty flour), gave (spicy puree from legumes) and salad. The average account for two is about 1,500 rupees. The restaurant can see the ladder at which you can climb on the rock and admire the ocean (very picturesque). By the way, you can ask the owner of the restaurant to give you chairs-hammocks and relax behind drinks, admiring the views. By the way, there is Wi-Fi.
"Lemongrass Cafe"
(Devala RD, near "Blow Hole Restaurant")Very pretty Asian cuisine restaurant and one of the coolest and cheap beach establishments! There is a cafe in the right corner of the beach at the temple and to the right - and here you can even come specially from the other end of the beach for the sake of delicious food. Tom Yam, Spring Rolls, Devil Fish and many other dishes there are simply great (some it seems that they cook here even better than in the previous restaurant), and Lyon beer costs only 300 rupees (the cheapest price in the city and one of the most inexpensive Isle).
BLACK & WHITE RESTAURANT
(Parangiya Watta, next to Peacock Seafood Restaurant)The restaurant is a little more expensive than the previous ones, but he is on the kind of more decent (although it is very difficult to call it very difficult). It is a very soulful with excellent Asian cuisine, wonderful seafood and pleasant staff. The only minus is a small number of tables. Next to the cafe on the beach there are sun beds, on which you can lie for 500 rupees in the afternoon (this is for nothing, because there is a yellow bar or kind of where the lounge chairs are offered for free). In general, nothing special, just a cute restaurant, where you can at least go to dinner.
"LE CAFE FRANCAIS BAKEM & BOUTIQUE"
(55/1 YDDEHIMULLA RD)This is a corner for sweet tooths in Unawatun. The room itself is small (somewhere for ten visitors or less), cozy, clean and bright. A la french style, of course, is traced. The waiters are not fully intrusive, speak well in English. Prices for desserts are not higher than on average in the city (for example, an average of 300 rupees for the cake). Desserts and truth wonderful - and apple pies, strawberry baskets, and cheesecakes. You can talk to pamper yourself!
