We’ve got you covered with delicious, affordable all day brunch and the best coffee in town (yes, really). Think creamy yoghurt bowls, hearty overnight oats, and fluffy scrambled eggs—just what your backpacking belly needs!
🚨 Heads up: We’re a small hostel with a tiny kitchen. Things might take a little longer than your usual café back home—but hey, you’re on backpacker time now. Just order at reception and relax. It’s worth the wait. ✌️
There are always good vibes at Dots! The friendly local staff will welcome you with open arms and will put a smile on your face. They have different seating areas: the rooftop, the garden and the patio, enough choice for everyone and it’s a great location right in front of Hiri beach.
The food here is really good – hummus or pizzas anyone?! Get yourself a fresh coconut or a passion fruit lemonade and sit back and relax.
The best bar in Sri Lanka and in the top 50 of the best bars in Asia – there is a reason for it! It might be hard to get a table here in high season, but it’s definitely worth the wait. The food is simply amazing. We recommend sharing the podi plates with your friends, the pork belly and the chicken masala are to die for! But to be honest, everything on the menu is delicious so you really can’t make a wrong decision here.
Gavi and his family are fantastic hosts, they will always welcome you with a big smile!
Every night they have a big rice and curry buffet. Not in the mood for rice and curry? They have lots of other local dishes, such as fried rice, kottu and seafood. Get a lassi or a Lion beer with and you’re set for a great dinner!
Lunch like the locals: it will be busy but definitely a not-to-miss experience!
You can choose from the rice and curry buffet and it is one of the better places to get local food for a cheap price. It is often very spicy, but a bit of spice doesn’t hurt you, right?
Hiriketiya has so many spots with amazing views, but this view is one of a kind!
And even better, they have delicious coffee and great food – you can’t go wrong at Mond.
Even if you’re not hungry, it is also a great place to just sit with a watermelon juice and enjoy the view
La playa has the best views and pizza’s in town.
Don’t forget to visit this lovely place and take a dip in the pool or watch all the hot surf boys & girls coming out of the water
This little gem is on Hiriketiya Beach. You will have to go to the very end to find this local bar/restaurant.
We recommend the roti’s, the juices and the fresh fruit platter. While you’re enjoying your food, you can watch all the surfers and take in the beautiful view of the bay!
