Tao redefines fusion food by using a Yin meets Yang philosophy when combining delicacies. Their corridor-like outdoor setting overlooks the poolside, surrounded by koi fish, creating a Zen-like mood for that spontaneous mid-week wind down. An open kitchen and frozen Margarita station complete the minimal setting. While there are many Chinese, Thai and Japanese restaurants in Colombo, no restaurant has attempted the merging of tastes quite like they do over there at Tao.
