Why it works

What you get

  • Open early, open late

    6am to 11pm, seven days a week. Breakfast before the viewpoints, dinner after the lake.

  • Food you hear cooking

    Kottu is chopped on the hot plate in front of you, and rice and noodles go through the wok to order.

  • Two places to sit

    A long covered hall with patio heaters and lanterns, or the black-and-red dining car on the truck.

  • Evenings with music

    Live music and karaoke come up again and again in our Google reviews. Ask what's on tonight.

Questions

Dine in: FAQs

Do I need to book to eat in?

Small parties can usually walk in. On weekends, public holidays and during the April season, call or WhatsApp +94 71 084 6000 to save a table, especially for dinner or if you want to sit near the music.

Is it warm enough to eat in at night?

Nuwara Eliya evenings are cool. The dining hall is covered, with patio heaters among the tables, so it stays comfortable after dark. A bowl of soup helps too.

Can I eat breakfast at Restaurant Two?

We open at 6am every day, so you can eat before heading out to the viewpoints or tea estates. Call us the day before if you want something particular ready early.
