My Kind of Place: The Best Restaurant in Trincomalee

Looking for the Best Restaurant in Trincomalee? Welcome to My Kind of Place! We are a charming family-run Bar & Restaurant nestled in the lush nature of the Nilaveli district. Nilaveli is located north of Trincomalee, right in front of Pigeon Island. It offers a long, unspoiled exotic beach, less touristic and crowded than other areas. We highly recommend a visit!

Discover Our Hidden Gem in Nilaveli

Although we are only 300 meters from the main road, most customers refer to My Kind of Place as a “hidden gem in the jungle”. Step inside, and our cozy, friendly atmosphere will make you feel right at home.

A Unique Fusion Culinary Experience

At My Kind of Place, you’ll enjoy tasteful fusion dishes. Our cuisine reflects a harmonious combination of traditional Sri Lankan flavors and the magic touch of Japanese fragrances. Chef Priyantha leads our kitchen. He spent over ten years in Tokyo and Yokohama. He truly exalts the flavors of fresh local ingredients, creating sublime and memorable culinary experiences.

Don’t Miss the Royal Fish Menu!

The superb Royal Fish Menu deserves a special mention when talking about the best restaurant in Trincomalee. Depending on seasonality, it features delicious options like king prawns, lagoon crabs, cuttlefish, and the catch of the day. Importantly, all dishes are served with a secret home-made sauce. You can try asking the Chef for his secrets, but he’s not likely to disclose the recipe his mother taught him!

Visit Us for Lunch, Dinner, or Drinks

Our restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner. However, making a reservation is recommended, especially during peak times. You can visit for a quick lunch, an elegant dinner, or simply to chill out with a cold drink. My Kind of Place offers one of the finest dining experiences in Trincomalee.

Exclusive Dining and Services

For a truly exclusive and private experience, we recommend our Romantic Dinner boat trip in the secluded Nilaveli lagoon. Furthermore, for those who go fishing, Chef Priyantha can specially prepare and serve your fresh catch right here in our restaurant.

Getting Here: Tuk-tuk Service

A convenient tuk-tuk service to and from the restaurant is available upon request.
