Be it a ribeye, sirloin or a brisket, rather than just soaking the steak in flavourings the chefs have perfected the art of bringing out the essence of the meat, usually with a marinade of pepper and a pinch of salt. Simplicity is observed in the preparation of the seafood and vegetarian grills. Each grilled dish is cooked in the special charcoal fired grill oven, which while enhancing natural flavours infuses the meal with smoky and char tangs.
Whether it is a New York Strip, T Bone Steak, or Grilled Australian Lamb Chops you are assured of a truly tender and appetising bite.
A rarity in Colombo, the hotel’s Josper Oven cooks the food slowly, a labour of love where timing is of great importance. Hence, whether it’s a New York Strip, T Bone Steak, or Grilled Australian Lamb Chops you are assured of a truly tender and appetising bite. The Surf and Turf dish will prove to be a celebration of tangs and succulence for the seafood lover.
Vegetarians too are catered to with salads and a Mediterranean Grill. The mouthwatering desserts include the home-made New York Cheese Cake and the much-raved about crème brûlée. For a special occasion, where a little theatre is required, the Flambé dessert is an impeccable choice.
