Pigeon Island
“Pigeon Island is a must in Trincomalee. Booking with Trincovisit saved us time we spent on the island. Their comfortable boats leave from Nilaveli (in front of the Pigeon Island) and you don’t need to change boat. We saw two big turtles and snorkeled near a group of 5 harmless sharks”
Whale & Dolphin Watching
“Amazing experience!!! We saw many whales and dolphins. Perfect organization and friendly atmosphere”
My Kind of Place Bar & Restaurant – Amazing Experience
We had the most amazing Sri Lankan seafood including calamari, prawns, fish grilled over the open fire and the famous mud crab that is caught in the lagoon just a few steps away from the restaurant. Everyone was so kind and attentive, and Chef Pryantha really took the time to explain the different kind of foods to us and show how they are prepared. If you’re looking for a truly unique experience and a traditional sea food dinner in the midst of the rural countryside, you should give this a try! We would definitely come back anytime.
My Kind of Place Bar & Restaurant – 6 star rating
Our guide took us to this place. It is a hidden gem! A bit remote but my good the fish is delicious! We took the royal fish menu with calamari, amazing prawns, crazy good crabs and grilled barracuda. The marinades, the flavors were all spot on! Price quality perfect & friendly chef! If I could, I would give a 6 star rating!
A Culinary Journey through North-Eastern Sri Lanka: Where Tradition Meets Haute Cuisine
This is the kind of place that Anthony Bourdain would have featured in a show. It encapsulates perfectly what makes the North-Eastern Sri Lankan food culture interesting and unique. The set menu is truly regal and showcases the ocean’s generosity – prawns, calamari, crabs and grilled trevally are plentiful and delicious. The seasonings are consistently right (that random slice of cucumber or tomato on the side? Perfectly seasoned too). Last amazing feature: the place has a lovely traditional feel, but you’re greeted with all the attentions one can expect in a haute cuisine , high end restaurant. This is an experience I will remember. (PS: je suis français je dis pas ça à la légère !)
