This blog was created to share our dining experiences from the day we started dating. Hope it'll help others to find best, affordable places to hangout,eat or have a hot drink with your lover and have a good time together. It's difficult for us to find good places which are welcoming but won't empty our wallets when we pay the bill. Some of these places we visited were cheap and affordable but food in few places were expensive.
1 Barista- Bambalapitiya
I met my boyfriend at Facebook. We chatted, talked for few weeks and decided to have a quick meeting. I thought a coffee shop would be good. Both of us are coffee lovers. I picked the place. Bambalapitiya Barista is a nice small place, reason for choosing it was the convenient location. however it's bit crowded during the weekend and Pizza Hut next to it always packed and noisy. It might not be the ideal place to spend few hours. Chairs aren't that comfortable either. However it's a good place to have a cup of coffee or a mocktail after shopping or a movie at Majestic city.
Cost for two would be around Rs1000-1500. Even though we love coffee , he ordered a hot chocolate and I ordered a peach flavored iced tea. Drinks were delicious. Service wasn't bad either. My boyfriend (his name is Manoj by the way) commented the hot chocolate was really nice. There are cakes, muffins and few savory stuff, but I was too excited that day and didn't order anything. I've tried their blueberry muffin before, and the cappuccino. Both were average. I'll update this if we visit Barista again.
2 The Barnesbury - Barnes Pl Colombo
Our second date was at Barnesbury. It was my first visit there. Place was nice however I was disappointed as soon as I entered. We have contacted them earlier to make a reservation for two, but when we told them about the reservation they looked bit surprised and directed us to a family table. Then I received a wrong drinks order but nothing could go wrong with orange juice. So I'm not complaining about it. We ordered one mutton kottu and one prawns kottu. Each between Rs700-750. First few bites were heavenly. It was delicious. With a creamy cheese dressing on top, and there were plenty of nicely cooked meat chunks and prawns. However within few minutes we stated feeling full and bloated, like we already ate two submarines and a Big Mac. Bill was around Rs3000 for four drinks and two meals
3 Tea Avenue - Barnes Pl Colombo
This was one place we loved. We only ordered drinks. However we would gladly visit that place again. I ordered a chai latte and he ordered an iced cappuccino. Latte was huge and delicious,so was the cappuccino. Bill was Rs 1000 but it was worth it. It's a welcoming place with less noise and comfortable chairs and the one waiter was so helpful , he said there is an "angle" seat if we want.lol. I saw how they make their famous Ferraro lavish (Rs850) and I would definitely go back to try that.
