Café Français for lunch
A better place to find a light lunch than Café Français at Park Street Mews is hard to find. A 400 metre walk from Gangaramaya temple, the tartines are proof that high quality ingredients and careful preparation can produce exquisite food.
In my case called a Sri Lankan Twist, the rustic bread baked on the premises and lightly toasted was covered with cheese, pol sambol*, crisp bacon, two absolutely perfectly poached eggs, and fresh chilli. Absolutely bursting with three dimensional taste and texture; as amazing as each time I have ordered one from the menu!
* Pol sambol is a staple of Sri Lankan cuisine; a relish consisting of freshly grated coconut, red onions, dried whole chillies, lime juice, salt and Maldive fish. Yummy!
