A quaint little place some 30 years old, well known for their amazing and mouth-watering baked crab...unfortunately it was almost completely washed away during the December Tsunami.
There is harrowing reminder on one of the doors above 5 feet up, a tide mark...and a label saying "Water level, December 26th during Tsunami". The place was virtually destroyed and they are just getting back on their feet now.
It is a place to relax, once a table is readied on the evening, it's not readied for a second sitting, there's no rush, no clearing, no expectation for you to leave.
You can just sit there all night and listen to the waves..
The baked crab is said to be the best in Sri Lanka....it's actually called 'the home of crab', that's a pretty high accolade.
You must make a reservation if you plan on dining there in the evenings. The restaurant is open from 10am – 3pm and then again from 6.30 - 11pm and closed only on Poya Days.
