At the core of our menus are the ingredients which are mainly local and form the soul of our cuisine. At rare, flavour is king, and change is a cherished constant. The menu at our restaurant in Colombo is regularly reimagined, and as each new ingredient arrives, the culinary team accepts the challenge and explores the opportunities with trademark creativity and technical skill.
