Sri Lanka best kade breakfast in Kandy - locals-only spots?
3 Answers from travellers
Kandy morning kade circuit: (1) Devon Restaurant (Dalada Veediya - hoppers, string hoppers, kiribath, opens 6am). (2) Balaji Dosai (Colombo Street - South Indian breakfast, dosas). (3) Bake House (opens early, freshly-baked breads + roti). (4) Muslim Hotel (Kotugodella Veediya - biryani, watalappan, run for generations). (5) Aviary Restaurant (Trincomalee Street - budget local). For classic string hopper + dhal + coconut sambol Kandy breakfast: Devon at 6:30am. For Muslim-Sri Lankan breakfast: Muslim Hotel. Both under 500 LKR per person.
Also: walk-around the smaller streets behind Kandy Central Market at 6am - stalls serving vadai + tea, string hoppers to go, roti + lunu miris on newspaper. That's the real Kandy morning. Cash only, tiny portions but 100-200 LKR total, magical.
