The Lellama

Inspired by and named after the bustling local fish markets and equally replete with the best of seafood delights, the Lellama is a decidedly distinctive seafood restaurant in Negombo. Set a little apart away from the hotel and on the beach, this characteristic treasure trove for seafood lovers is also patronised by non-residents of the hotel, and a feast here is an event not to be missed.

Spaciously laid out, the Lellama is innovatively recreated – from its palm thatched roof to its open displays of fresh offerings, to emulate the authentic atmosphere of its moniker. Likewise, the delectable array of ocean fare is always from the newest of the day’s catch – all yours to pick from and prepared just the way you fancy it too.

For discerning gourmet of seafood, this is heaven. Entire menus are dedicated to crabs, prawns and fish of every sort. The dishes vary from the exotic to the ordinary, so you can take your pick from humble everyday favourites to haute cuisine. The Lellama also serves liquor upon request, so you don’t have to venture too far to find the best liquid accompaniment for those tasty temptations from the fiery BBQs either.
