The Family Restaurant
About
Set on Sri Lanka, The Family Restaurant is a restaurant. Its setting in Sigiriya places it in the island's central cultural triangle, within reach of the ancient cities. Diners have pushed the restaurant to 4.9 out of 5, a score carried by 138 reviews, and that weight of feedback suggests a kitchen that regulars return to rather than one that relies on passing traffic.
Whether you need to book ahead is worth settling before you travel, since a table at a place with this much attention can fill on busy evenings. Walk-ins may still work outside peak hours. Opening hours are not part of what is published here, so a call before setting out is the sensible move.
The hill country in central Sri Lanka is cooler and wetter than the coastal plains, so a light layer helps in the evenings. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion of Sri Lanka, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays, which can affect what is open. The southwest monsoon brings rain from about May to September, and the northeast monsoon from October to January, so the two coasts have their wet seasons at different times of year.
