Kanchana is the main restaurant of Heritance Kandalama hotel situated on the sixth floor, with full-length glass windows providing superlative views over the lake. Sometimes you can dine outside, accompanied by the haunting flute music. By day you might spot purple-rumped sunbird sipping nectar from the flowering shrubs planted outside; in the evening, candlelight reflects off the carefully crafted metal tree sculptures, creating a more intimate ambience. There is always something going on at their chef action stations, from waffles and omelettes at breakfast to Mongolian stir fries or barbecues at dinners. Dress code for dinner is smart casual (no shorts please).

Tuskers Bar is situated at Cinnamon Lodge Habarana, 20Kms (12 Miles) away from Dambulla city. Named after enormous neighbors from the Minneriya National Park, the act of sitting at Tuskers and throwing back a few shots is also a journey back in time to the Colonial times. Surrounded by timber columns and lazily-spinning ceiling fans, here's your perfect spot to sit back and let the day fade into night. Squirrels frequent the terrace throughout the day, while the sounds of the night provide their own dark ambiance.

The main restaurant at the resort Habarana Cinnamon Village, "El Hena", serves both international and Sri Lankan food at its buffet. Live cooking stations have been installed for both cuisines and the Sri Lankan one is often manned by a cook from a neighbouring village, so there's no doubt that the recipes here are 100% authentic Sri Lankan. A separate salad bar is available here too, with a wide range of fresh veggies from the villages. The view of the pool, gardens and the lake is extraordinary here and a traditional flautist will often serenade you as you dine. The restaurant is situated 20Kms (12 Miles) away from Dambulla city.
