Anniversary dinner budget - top Colombo restaurant for 2?
3 Answers from travellers
Top-tier Colombo dinner for 2: LKR 20,000-40,000 (~USD 60-120) including drinks. Restaurants: Ministry of Crab (their signature 3-4 crab set = ~LKR 25,000 with wine), Kaema Sutra (creative Sri Lankan, ~LKR 18,000-25,000 for 2), 7 Degrees North at Waters Edge (steakhouse + view, LKR 25,000+), Nihonbashi (Japanese, expensive, LKR 30,000+). All accept international cards. Book 3-7 days ahead. Dress smart-casual. Cocktails 800-1500 LKR each; wine bottles 4000-10000 LKR.
^ this. Also: for a REAL special occasion, book chef's table or private room. Ministry of Crab has kitchen counter seats. Kaema Sutra does tasting menus. Say 'anniversary' when booking - they often add a small dessert plate or note without you asking. Sri Lankan hospitality shines at moments like these.
