Right outside the main gates of the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens, there are several excellent local spots. The Honeypot Cafe is fantastic for a quick, high quality coffee and light snacks in a relaxing environment.
For a slightly more upscale, air conditioned meal, The Royal Mall restaurant nearby offers excellent Sri Lankan and Western dishes, perfect for cooling down after a hot garden walk.
If you want authentic, highly spiced local food, cross the main road and visit the small Peradeniya Rest House. They serve a massive, delicious rice and curry buffet that is incredibly cheap and popular with university students.

TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
