My wife and I went to this place for dinner after a recommendation from our tuctuc driver. when we entered, we were warmly welcomed by the staff and the owner Michael who was very kind and gave us valuable advices for the rest of our trip in Sri Lanka.

We wanted to have dinner here on a poya (festival) day, but the staff did not show up, so the owner could not open his restaurant. We had a nice chat and enjoyed the great view and ate some nuts he prepared for us. If we return to Kandy, we will surely eat here. More

Give this place a go. The view and atmosphere is fantastic and it is quite a large place. Our meal and drinks cost us about $13US each. Not bad for an entree, main and a cocktail! The highlight was the cuttlefish starter. Fantastic flavours!! I could have happily had that with rice as my main instead. We also had the... More

View is the best in Kandy, especially at sunset. Relaxing here for a few hours is great. Also food is nice, depending on what you order. The Chinese food can be missed. Service however should be of a better standard. Long waiting and slow response. Too bad. Upgrading this would make it the perfect place to spend your evenings. More

My wife and I went here for dinner and drinks after the owner handed us a flier while sitting by Kandy Lake. It's got a great location with a view of the whole city, and their happy hour beer prices can't be beat. Our food, however, was not so great. I ordered "customers favorite" dish that was basically stir fried... More

You'll love the location, overlooking candy's lake and the buddah statue. Great sunsets from there. Good atmosphere and relaxing vibe. We tried bits from the Chinese menu, didn't love it but ok. Best for drinks and that stunning view I would say! Full of tourists, not too good for my tastes but you cant help it :) Would recommend it. More
