Around Matara eat where tables turn over. Rice and curry lunch; hoppers in the evening if it's busy. Photo-menu places — walk on. Spice is adjustable if you ask. Bottled water.

Found a packed lunch place near the bus stand in Matara — better than the pretty cafe. Asked for less chilli, no drama.

If you're tired, stay nearer the bus stand / town centre in Matara and skip chasing a perfect sunset. Pull cash in Colombo, Kandy, or Galle first — cards are a maybe. Locals will tell you if a ticket is counter-only.
