Options for places where you could have dinner in the cozy koggale not so much, but they are. Basically - these are restaurants of hotels, which in Koggal, again, a little, but there is. Here, what institutions can be visited.
"STICK FISHERMAN View Restaurant"
(at Matara Road, near the train station)This is quite simple, but a pretty roadside seafood restaurant. The food is delicious, saturated, portions are huge - you can order one for two. The menu is large - from oysters (which float before cooking in the aquarium) and other seas in the pork. Many dishes with lipstick and rice.
Be sure to try the crab (melts in the mouth) or some fish that is frying / baked entirely. Apparently fishing fresh, which is reflected on taste, of course. Shrimps and squid are also good - cooked with a soul. Everything is served to choose from Potatoes, rice (bass) and vegetables (boiled, for example). All this is not a high kitchen, but the food fully meets the level of the establishment. The staff is extremely welcome, friendly.
By the way, there is a menu in Russian. In general, the dishes in the restaurant are slightly higher prices, but some even manage to overtake the discount. Prices are something in the area of 900 rupees for noodles with seafood, and the most expensive is crab (2000 rupees; in one portion of 2 kraiba).
Cheap Juicy Freasha (but cocktails are so-so). And in this cafe can also be purchased by fruit at a fairly low price. Remember that the tips are not included in the account, but to leave them or not - it's like you want.
This restaurant is located at the road (but there is quietly), to the ocean - to apply, although it is necessary to say, there are no particularly chic species (but you can say on fishermen sitting on sticks). In addition, no one is minus if they are prepared delicious. Tables on the street, under the roof, there are fans. On the tables are disseminated tablecloths, cookware are beautiful and clean (which is important). In general, in this area such a restaurant is just a wonderful option!
CAFE CEYLON
(for Matara Road, opposite Surfing Villa Guesthouse and Kabalana Boutique Hotel & Spa)A small restaurant of Lankan and Asian cuisine with a small amount of tables. The menu has seafood, meko, and vegetarian options. Despite the fact that the cafe is away from the road, there is quite quiet and very calm. The service is beautiful, everything is clean and cozy. The design of the institution is surprisingly sympathetic - this is one of the main advantages of the restaurant. Especially impressive vintage posters on white brick walls and a cozy garden with palm trees.Of the minuses - not very big servings. In general, prices are rather medium than high. For example, a dozen oyster costs about 1000 rupees. In general, this is not a simple eatery, but a very decent such cafe. If you managed to travel along the central Sri Lanka and, especially outside the tourist areas, then this institution will seem very steep (by the way, and in terms of prices, and feeding dishes, and the design of the room). The menu, however, is quite small (maybe it's even plus - it can be confident about each dish).
There is a menu in Russian (adequately translated). Alcohol is offered only Lion beer, which is worth two times more than in a number of other towns. Desserts are excellent, you can praise (especially I advise Hakura Banana).
BEACH HOUSE
(at Matara Road, near the train station)Restaurant traditional cuisine in the center of the town. There is a truly romantic atmosphere, pleases impeccable service, excellent cuisine and presentation of dishes at quite fair prices. During lunch, you can enjoy the insanely beautiful views of the ocean, drink cocktails or fresh juices, chatting with the owner named Prabhat (who has free and English, and German, if so someone else: the owner lived in Germany for several years). Portions are big, which is nice. Tasty all - and rice with curry, and fish, and squid and shrimps with fragrant garlic sauce. An excellent place is not only for lunch, but also for the "respite" in the form of a cold juice."WIENER DSCHUNGEL"
(In the small town of Khabraduva, that west along the coast from Koggali, on Matara Road)This is a cool restaurant of Indian and European cuisine - fish dishes, chicken or beef, vegetarian options, local and drinks. Not a very large selection of wine, but in the menu there are excellent capping, which is rare on Sri Lanka, oddly enough. By the way, from November 15, there is also a stay and accommodation here (4 bedrooms right on the beach with air conditioning). Waiters and owners speak German, English and French. And there is a menu in Russian - Thank you!
An institution has been opened from 9.30 to the last visitor. Of the undoubted and first advantages of the establishment - a chic view of the ocean and the beach. And even in the restaurant is very cozy, and the portions are big - you will eat from the nest. Prices, by the way, is medium, but even if it seems that it is expensive, it is still worth it.
From Koggala Beach Hotel, before this restaurant, you can walk with a foot (go about 2 kilometers along the road or along Bearzy), but you can drive up on a tuk-tuka, however, do not let the driver more than 1 roll in one direction. You can not pay for the order card. But but good and free Wi-Fi. And here's another nice: no one is trying to drive excursions, as it happens in local restaurants.
Catalina Grill
(Matara Road, not far from Long Beach Resort and Temple Hirigal Devalaya)In general, as they say, "FIFTI FIFTI". Someone likes, someone is not very. Prepare good, in particular, seafood, however, the range and prices are at the usual level for the town and the region as a whole.
Portions of rice and noodles are excellent (can be divided into two) and at prices are lower than in other institutions of the city (seemingly). In general, an excellent location - by the ocean; Nearby is a plane in which you can look, but for this there will be a little to upset (Pradva, only 200 rupees; but you can also take pictures).
The restaurant has no menu in Russian. The staff, by the way, is poorly spoken in English, it is necessary to explain on the fingers (but not trouble!). There are soup in the menu, however, they do not really work - neither tomato, nor with seafood. Second dishes are much better. Boldly order Juices and Freasha.
