Zen Cafe

Great cafe if you’re gluten free!

Such a lovely place with great ambience and service. Nestled among plants and fish ponds this really is a zen place. For us as gluten- and soy free vegans (!) it’s always difficult to find good food while travelling but that wasn’t a problem here! We had some lovely Buddha Bowls and fresh passionfruit/pineapple juice. Healthy choices!

We wanted to eat something in Negombo in the afternoon and ended up at this place. It was almost completely full, but the waiter still managed to find a table for us. He honestly stated that the meal could take a little longer due to the crowds: we certainly appreciated that openness. In the meantime we enjoyed a milkshake and an iced coffee, and they tasted promising. For dinner we chose a Greek salad, chicken salad and a smoothie bowl. Our eldest daughter, who has to eat gluten-free, opted for the gluten-free pancakes. Everything was delicious, but the pancakes and the smoothie bowl really stood out for us. The waiter, who referred to himself with a wink as “no-hairman”, was a very friendly man and even helped us arrange a PickMe taxi back to our hotel. As far as we are concerned: a big 10 out of 10!
