Dining @ Cool Spot.


On a cold winters evening at the start of the working week, what better way to pick up your spirits, than reminisce over a fabulous meal in a tropical holiday location.
Welcome to Cool Spot Restaurant, Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka.  
The Castle spent Christmas/New Year '07/'08 on the beautiful island of Sri Lanka.  We dined in starred hotel restaurants and slick resorts, but one of the most memorable meals has to be at this little shack.
Endless bowls and plates of delicious curries, salads and vegetables made for a banqueting feast.
Washed down tangy fresh juices or ice cold beers. Mmmmm.
Was it a restaurant, was it a fruit and veg shop or was it the family home?
Who cares. Its brilliant. And if you can make it to this gem at some stage, you MUST have the 
Wattalappan dessert, it is not to be missed.
Ahhh.  We feel all warm and sunny now.
