Question: do these places have baby changing facilities in bathrooms? That's my constant concern with toddler. Currently deciding between Movenpick and Cinnamon Grand as our regular spots.

For toddler-specific: highchair available at most mid-range+ restaurants but call ahead to confirm. Sri Lankan food generally kid-friendly (mild dhal, plain rice, string hoppers, egg hoppers, fresh fruit) - modify heat request. Fresh juice + king coconut water = safe drinks.

Sri Lankan culture is deeply family-oriented - kids welcomed almost everywhere, staff go extra for children (bringing crayons, activities, treats). Different from Western 'no kids after 8pm' culture. Even fine-dining welcomes families. Don't feel restricted.
