Ministry of Crab

Top choice in Colombo

LoginSave

Crabs are a major income earner for Sri Lanka’s fishing industry, but most are exported. This high-profile restaurant rectifies this loss by celebrating the crustaceans in variations ranging from Singaporean chilli crab to locally spiced crab curry. The garlic pepper preparation is sublime. Two owners are former captains of the Sri Lanka cricket team plus there's famous chef Dharshan Munidasa.

Easily one of Colombo's top restaurants, a couple can easily drop Rs 15,000 on a truly superb meal with drinks (an average-sized crab for one costs Rs 6600). Be sure to book ahead.
