ValueOverall Experience 
The Sunday brunch buffet is definitely one for those who LOVE buffets (me!) but also enjoy variety. The buffet runs from 11am to 3pm each week and is probably one of the most popular hotel buffets in Colombo. You have the option of the beer or champagne brunch (Rs 2500 for unlimited Lion beer/champagne), or the regular brunch (Rs 2100).
For starters there is a great range of salads including potato, coleslaw, DIY Caesar, seafood and roast vegetable. To accompany the salads there is a nice range of cold meats like salami and ham. Their seafood assortment is fabulous with fresh oysters, mussels, prawns and salmon. They have also added a very popular sushi section. In Sri Lanka, it is very difficult to find fresh salads, cured meats, beautiful seafood and sushi so I find the buffet worthwhile just for the starter section!
For mains, they serve a diverse range of international cuisines mainly drawing on Asian influences like rice and curry, noodles and flat breads like naan. However, they also serve a wonderfully roasted lamb, pork or turkey with boiled vegetables and mash. The lamb is nicely seasoned and quite moist while the pork is accompanied by crunchy, perfectly salted crackling.
They have a generous dessert bar laden with cakes, puddings, mousses and fresh fruits. Their mousses and tiramisu, in particular are delicious and the fresh pineapple, mango and papaya are just the thing after a heavy meal. Today, they also large tubs of mango, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla ice cream with a choice of chocolate, strawberry or butterscotch toppings.
Our bill came to Rs. 4800 however keep in mind there is a 27% tax so our bill went up to Rs. 6090. Having visited the brunch buffet several times in the past six months, I highly recommend it as the food is delicious and there is something for everybody. Ensure you call and book ahead because they do get very busy!
