From the moment you walk in, the space offers a sense of comfort. Its simple design is complemented by warm lighting and a layout that feels equally welcoming for families and groups of friends. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a casual meal, the atmosphere feels just right. What truly sets the restaurant apart, though, is the attentive and friendly staff.


What adds to the charm is how versatile the place is. There are two private meeting rooms if you’re looking for a quiet space to host a lunch meeting or small gathering. And if you’d rather sit outdoors, there’s a lovely outside area that’s perfect for a breezy evening meal or a laid-back hangout.


Starters
We started with a staff-recommended Caesar salad, but this wasn’t your typical version. It was prepared right at our table, adding a personal touch that turned a simple starter into a memorable experience. Every ingredient was fresh and thoughtfully assembled—the crisp romaine, the rich, creamy dressing, perfectly cooked chicken, and soft-boiled eggs all came together beautifully. Honestly, it might have been the best Caesar salad we’ve ever had.
Drinks
To go with the starter, we tried Passionfruit Mojito, a simple, refreshing choice. It had the right balance of sweet and tangy, with a nice hit of fresh passionfruit. It was paired well with the salad and was just what we needed on a warm day.


Mains
For the main course, we decided to try a variety of options and we’re so glad we did.
First up was the Pepperoni Pizza. The crust was thin and crisp, just how it should be, with a solid tomato base that wasn’t too overpowering. The pepperoni had a nice bit of heat and was spread out just right. Simple, well-made, and exactly what you’d want from a classic pizza.
Next up, the Fish and Chips, a golden, crispy exterior with soft, flaky fish inside. Served with perfectly seasoned fries and a tangy dip, this dish balanced flavor with freshness effortlessly.
We also had the Creamy Prawn Spaghetti, and it was seriously good. The sauce was smooth and full of flavour, and the prawns were cooked just right. Everything came together perfectly, it’s the kind of dish you’d come back for.




The best part? For a fine dining spot that delivers on taste, presentation, and service, the price point is worth it. Every dish felt thoughtfully made, and nothing fell short.
If you’re looking for a spot in Colombo that ticks all the boxes ambience, food, service, and value The Avenue is a must-visit. The food never disappointed and wouldn’t hesitate to visit this restaurant again.
