Villa Raha is an all-day brunch spot, but if you look through their very delicious looking menu, you will find quite the array to fit your Ketogenic meal plan. With an array of egg benedict dishes to a range of dishes consisting of tuna and avocado, this might just be your tastiest stop from all the places we've mentioned here. Here's that place for your cheat day, though it will still be a win-win on the health side.
Pho Vietnam
62, Havelock Rd, Colombo 05
Pho Vietnam has its mildly oily to very beefy dishes that probably add many a calorie. But here's just the one which no matter how many bowls you gulp down, will not add anything to the calories – their very clear soup which is just a combination of spring onions and bits and bobs of shallots.
