The Restaurant

A kitchen that
knows where
it is

The Kingfisher kitchen is proud to be the only restaurant in Unawatuna where there's something for everybody. From cuttlefish and lobster to tiger and jumbo prawns, our Asian fusion menu has become a favourite with locals, holidaymakers, and expats who return time and again. All produce is sourced fresh from the market every day.

The restaurant is open-air by design. Sit back, dine with your feet in the sand, and take in the spectacular view of the bay to the sound of chilled tunes. Whether you're here for a slow breakfast or a long dinner with cocktails, the setting does most of the work.

When to Come

Three meals
worth staying for

Breakfast
07:30 – 10:30  ·  Daily

A slow
morning start

Wake to tropical fruit and a kitchen that doesn't rush. The Sri Lankan breakfast table sits alongside the continental spread and the full English — choose as much or as little as the morning calls for.

Lunch & Dinner
12:00 – 15:00  &  19:00 – 22:30  ·  Daily

Sri Lankan
& beyond

From cuttlefish and lobster to tiger and jumbo prawns, the main menu moves between Sri Lankan curries, grilled seafood, Asian-inspired dishes, and European favourites. Order lightly or settle in for the full spread — the kitchen is unhurried either way.

Bar & Evening
11:00 – Late  ·  Daily

Cocktails
& good company

The Kingfisher Bar is a room worth lingering in — teak joinery, a well-stocked shelf, and cocktails mixed slowly with local spirits. Live music on selected evenings fills the space without filling the silence.

"Whether it's for brunch, lunch, or dinner, the food is always delicious. The setting is just perfect between the pool, the beach, and the relaxed atmosphere. We also love the evenings with live music, which always create such a great vibe. The staff are incredibly kind — we always feel at home."

"It's delicious! The seafood is fresh, the crab is tender with a soft shell! Burgers are juicy! Very sympathetic and sensitive staff who are always on board. There are 7 people in our company and everyone is thrilled!"

"Delicious food, very good service from Avishka and Pradeep — this on Christmas Eve! The location is right on the beach with good background music. Too bad we are already scheduled to leave tomorrow."

The Bar

Stay a little
longer

The Kingfisher Bar finds its rhythm around sunset. Stools fill slowly, cocktails are built with care, and the garden light turns gold through the open walls. There's nowhere else to be.
