The Empire Café
About
On Sri Lanka, The Empire Café is a local business. Temple St in Kandy is the address for this restaurant, placing it in the hill country heart of the island. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward local restaurant rather than a polished tourist chain, with the kitchen turning out the island's spice-led cooking.
Across 929 reviews, The Empire Café holds a 4.1 out of 5 rating, a score that reflects steady approval from a large body of diners. The Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089956452149 serves as its online presence. Kandy sits inland, so reaching the café from Colombo, Galle, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna or Arugam Bay means a road or rail journey rather than a short hop.
Two photos give a preview of the premises before arrival. The Facebook page is the venue's main online hub. Kandy is the city that gives the address its context, and the café operates within it.
Sri Lanka's tropical climate divides the year between coasts: the southwest stays driest roughly December-March, while the east coast is best roughly May-September. Meals on the island are spice-driven, built around rice and curry, fresh seafood and tropical fruit. International flights serve the island, and domestic transport runs by road and rail. Sinhala and Tamil are the main languages, with English widely used.
