Eating
Dining choices are surprisingly limited in Anuradhapura. Several hotels have good restaur-
ants including The Sanctuary at Tissawewa.
Walkers SRI LANKAN
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; Harischandra Mawatha;mains Rs 200-350; )
Just east of the 'elephant' roundabout this modern cafe-restaurant-store is a popular spot for
egg, curry and noodle dishes. There's a side terrace for dining and staff are friendly.
Family Super SUPERMARKET
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 279 Main St;meals Rs 100-250; 7am-8.30pm)
Anuradhapura's best supermarket has imported foods, sunscreen, mosquito repellent and a
separate bakery area with good short eats and ice cream.
Casserole CHINESE
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 279 Main St;mains Rs 500-700; 7am-8.30pm; )
It's nothing that special but if you're in urgent need of some air-con and non-local food this
large 2nd-floor restaurant has lots of Chinese, East Asian (try the nasi goreng) and Western
dishes.
The Sanctuary at Tissawewa INTERNATIONAL, SRI LANKAN
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; www.the-sanctuary-at-tissawewa-anuradhapura-sri-lanka.en.ww.lk ;mains Rs
800-1600; )
There are few better situations for an enjoyable meal or drink than the verandahs and din-
ing room in this beautiful colonial hotel. Try the chilli-marinated grilled pork chops, a sea-
food platter or one of their sandwiches. If you're touring the ruins in the daytime heat, drop
by for a coffee (the best in town, served in white embossed china cups) or juice. No alco-
hol is served but you can BYO.
