To escape the expensive, westernized cafes on the main Arugam Bay strip, walk a few minutes inland towards the local village. Hideaway Resort operates a brilliant, slightly hidden cafe serving excellent local food in a peaceful garden setting.

For highly authentic, cheap street food, look for small, family run eateries called hotels near the main bus stop. They serve massive portions of fiery rice and curry and perfectly crispy kottu roti exactly how the local surfers eat it.

Do not miss Mama Sandras. It is a humble, highly popular local spot offering incredibly flavorful, home cooked Sri Lankan meals that completely beat the overpriced pizza and burgers on the beach.
