The 7 Dinner Experiences in Sri Lanka an Island Fortnight Is Built On

1.Lotus Tower Experience with Lunch or Dinner Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 126 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $69Our pick

Dine in Colombo’s rotating Lotus Tower restaurant with a global buffet, one drink, and wide city and Indian Ocean views.

“Disappointing over all for the money. They didn’t let us go up before 6:30pm so we missed sunset. We were seated next to the window which meant our table didn’t rotate around the restaurant like the tables on the lower section. Food was a standard buffet definitely not 5 star. Desserts were super average. Our tickets came with one free drink each which they tried to charge us for again, had to call the manager over to sort it out. View is lovely, would see more if you did a lunch as night time you only see all the city lights”
