Wander through Colombo as evening draws in and treat your tastebuds to a feast of authentic Sri Lankan street food. Begin with a shot of arrack in a well-worn bar then go on to lively Hulfsdorp Street which is always packed with local diners to try a range of curries and traditional sweet treats. Next, grab a tuk tuk and wend your way through the higgledy-piggledy streets to Galle Face Green where vendors sell street food favourites overlooking the ocean. Bear in mind that we cannot guarantee hygiene standards but we strive to ensure that the food and drink is of the highest quality. You will never be under any pressure to try the cuisine on offer – either way, this is a great way to explore Colombo away from the tourist trail.
