Little Red House

It all started when Kiko, from China, met Jehan while visiting Mirissa. Kiko fell in love with Mirissa but there was something missing in this beautiful paradise: homemade Chinese food. Little Red House was then born. Chinese food as it should be. Fresh a

Probably the best Chinese food of the Island, for sure the Best in Mirissa. Amazing home-made Dumplings, super tasty fresh fish and it is excellent also the sweet and sour chicken. The staff is hearty and will suggest you the best dishes to try. I will sure go back when I will be back in Sri Lanka

Little Tuna Sushi Cafe

Cosy and colorful Sushi Restaurant in a big garden on the river in Mirissa. Relax in our hammocks, enjoy our homemade cheesecake and muffins and of course our delicious Sushi. We are right by the river, you can access us over our bridge, or from the road,

I was so impressed with this little place. My friend and I came in after having a subpar meal elsewhere on town. This place was such a treat! The sushi was fresh and service was efficient. It has a very relaxed atmosphere. I’m sad we didn’t have more time here.

Zephyr Restaurant & Bar

Reviewed By P2k1620

We had visited with my 6 year old and sea food averse husband. The waiter was kind enough to make a special egg curry rice for my husband and a potato mash wrap for my daughter. Their pasta, prawns and chicken are absolutely delicious. A little heavy on your pockets but worth the ambience. It’s by the sea and you need eagle’s vision for their sign board. Google maps always to the rescue.

The way it's decorated and the amazing staff makes this a great place to come to. The Kottu we had was delicious, especially with the 5 different sauces that are served with it.Others have complained about warm beers, but mine were nicely cold.

We visited twice during our stay in Mirissa. My family loved the rottis. They were tasty and fresh with great flavour. The curry and fresh fish was also good, The staff were friendly and helpful. On the second night, it was new year in Sri Lanka and many of the staff didn’t turn up for work. The food was not up to the same standard but the young waiter and the lady cooking in the kitchen did a great job of trying to feed a full restaurant.

Reviewed By rita386

Waiters aren’t helpful or accommodating at all - borderline rude even. Food was average at best despite being relatively more expensive than others. There are far better restaurants in Mirissa for a good meal. The only thing going for this place is the view - beachside with a pool. Would highly recommend finding another spot along Mirissa Beach as there are plenty of great restaurants with good vibes.We firstly would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused as per the comments which you have mentioned above. We are very keen in maintaining our high standards and trust kept in our food and service. In order to further evaluate the matter we have personally messaged you.Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Reviewed By rita386

Del Tanos and O Mirissa are the same. Their food was quite good - we’re vegetarians and so ordered a pizza, a pasta and their ravioli. The ravioli wasn’t cooked through fully and so the filling was still a bit cold. Rest of the food was very good. For dessert, we had their warm gooey brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream - definitely the star!

Amazing restaurant right on the beach. My partner and I tried almost everything on the menu and were never disappointed. I particularly loved the mango lassi and the curry was one of the best I've ever had! The staff were super friendly and helpful, providing us with valuable local knowledge. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The happy hour from 1-10pm was a nice touch too
