It's 3pm, you're in the Hill Country; that must mean it's time to have a nice cup of tea and
a slice of homemade lemon or chocolate cake. What better place to do so than this delight-
ful forest-side cafe?
Down Town Rotti Hut
SRI LANKAN
The most popular place in town for a fast lunch (they also do a takeaway service) is this
place. Its deliciously tasty
rottis
come in a wealth of flavours and are among the mostly
amply proportioned we've ever encountered.
Cafe Chill (Nescoffee Shop)
INTERNATIONAL
This cool roadside cafe-bar has the traveller-scene thing down to a tee - there are minty
mojitos, cool tunes and easy conversations around the table. Oh, and the food? Well, that's
pretty good as well, and you shouldn't leave without trying the
lamprais
(meat and veget-
ables wrapped in a banana leaf and cooked very slowly).
It also has a small selection of secondhand paperbacks.
Dream Café
INTERNATIONAL
Multiple reader recommendations fly the flag for this main-drag place with a cool, shady
garden. It's a cosmopolitan wee spot with good espresso coffee, well-executed Western
dishes such as tortilla chicken wraps, and smoothies and salads for the healthy traveller.
Don't be too pious, though: the beers are nice and cold.
