Crab - Uppuveli

The food was great. came here because my friend wanted the crawling curry. he wasn't disappointed. he said it was one of the specists that he had ever lived in his life. I had a vegetarian curry that was delicious. the owner was so nice and attentive. we thought in the morning on the way out of town for rotti. they were closed, but only opened for us. the redti was excellent and sent us happy on our way. Thank you!

Had a fun dinner here with funny workers who really want them to enjoy their stay. we were the only guests, but I guess that's because we're just seasonal.

A nice vegan buffet too lunch, but at 400 rupien I wouldn't go out of my way to get it back. three dishes, rice and poppadome. the daal was clearly made from veg fabric. not worth the money.

That is a good restaurant. but there are many other good restaurants in uppuveli with as many meat-free options. to turn them off as particularly veg-friendly would be a mistender. the personal is friendly, the atmosphere is beautiful, and there is a good choice of sri lankan and western dine. Just remember that they can also find many other beautiful restaurants nearby.

This restaurant is on the main road in Uppuveli. Located just next to the church and opposite the small lane leading to the beach where all the guest houses call themselves French Garden this or French Garden that. I was pleasantly surprised by lunch time at this restaurant. As a general rule I tend to avoid sea side restaurants that boast fresh seafood but lacking pure veg alternatives I did my best to look past the restaurant's name as I entered. We stepped inside at lunch time and we were immediately greeted by a delicious vegetarian buffet. The buffet is daily from 11-2pm, costs a mere 300 ruppees and offers a delicious choice of two kinds of rice, 3 vegan curries, (that usually change daily), a salad and papadums. Eat as much as you can put on you rather large plate. Like typical Sri Lankan food the curries can be spicy and the ingredients vary depending on what's in the kitchen. My boyf and I ate here for lunch every day during our stay in Uppuveli. The staff are super friendly and the curries are so tasty. Most guests visiting the restaurant during lunch come for the vegetarian buffet. Dinner is a rather busy affair with the large restaurant filling out and admitting I think the place turns into an obnoxious sea food restaurant with all the smells assaulting my senses. I would not recommend dinner time to those of you hoping to appreciate the smells of quality vegetarian food. Lunch is much nicer. With that said, the dinner menu still offers heaps in the way of vegie and vegan options.
