1 Ministry of Crab
One of Colombo’s most distinguished and well-loved eateries, Ministry of Crab is the brainchild of two former cricket players and a skilled master chef. The restaurant is situated in a preserved 400-year-old Dutch Hospital, with a minimalistic open-kitchen setting. Crustacean lovers flock here to try the best of what is known for—the highly-prized Sri Lankan crab, available in different variations on the menu, including crab curry, chilli crab, and the infamous, two-kilo crabzilla. If you want something a little extra, on top of the must-try crab dishes, order the freshwater prawns and king prawn bisque. Chef Dharshan Munidasa takes the kitchen reins here, in addition to owning two other flagships—The Tuna & The Crab, a Japanese seafood restaurant, and Kaema Sutra, a contemporary Sri Lankan diner in the Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo.
