Paradise Road The Gallery Café
An artistic restaurant converted from architect Geoffrey Bawa's former office, where the black pork curry has remained a signature favorite for years.
Opened in 1998 in the former office of architect Geoffrey Bawa, and transformed by Shanth Fernando of the Paradise Road brand with Bawa's personal approval, this venue combines a restaurant, gallery, and design shop. The signature black pork curry is made with dark roasted curry powder, tamarind, and black pepper, served with rice, dhal, and eggplant sides. Other options include Beef Smore and prawn curry. The menu has changed very little over the years. Light bites are served from 15:00 to 18:00. It fills up easily, so reservations are recommended. Main courses cost around 3,600–4,350 LKR.
