food
& cuisine:
Sri Lanka has an ancient & varied cuisine with contrasting tastes,
rich nutritional value influenced by its food culture that runs back to
dozens of centuries. Food prepared for main restaurant &
“Ambalama” (for snacks) has all the transparency. Most of the
activities can be seen by the visitors. There will be Sri Lankan cookery
lessons & demonstrations conducted by the villagers who are experts in
traditional cooking. Menu is not complicated, the vegetable & fruits
are grown in the Rainforest Edge organic farm, without any pesticides or
chemical manure. We might be the only nature resort in Sri Lanka, where
all dishes served are guaranteed of organic nature, because we grow our
own supplies. It was the era long before colonialism that every villager
cultivated their own supplies. Of course it is hard work. The
main restaurant is the ideal place to try out traditional Sri Lankan
cuisine. Why compromise a 5 star hotel dinner, when we offer you a million
stars dinner. Enjoy dining in a relaxed setting of our open air restaurant
under a thatched roof with a spectacular view over mountains &
serviced by our culinary staff who prepares our ethnic dishes combined
with true Sri Lankan hospitality. Dining at Rainforest Edge will be a
unique experience which you haven’t thought of. It may not be
surprising, if we say what how we present this valuable experience before
you arrive at Rainforest Edge. “Ambalama”
(snack house) is open from 07.00 am to 06.00 pm for “Kevili” (Sri
Lankan snacks), herbal drinks, tropical fresh fruits & juices,
tea/coffee and we are flexible enough for your special dietary requests.
