Dining at the UTMT
Hotel in Sri Lanka

Exquisite culinary touches

Fresh from the sea.

The culinary world of UTMT is a festival for all the senses.

The eye revels in the powerful colors of the fruits, vegetables and spices. Your sense of smell is beguiled by the countless aromas of Asia. Then there is the tactile … The art of our cuisine is in taking fresh, regional ingredients to conjure up dishes that also bring joy to the palate because of their textures.

And hearing? Well, just listen to the other guests as they rave about our delectable creations served at the UTMT. Naturally, the last word goes to taste … Believe us when we say, if it could, your tongue would be jumping somersaults of joy after every meal.

Our restaurant is also open to à la carte guests. We are happy to take your reservations by phone at

Breakfast Lunch Dinner

Tantalizing treats for your taste buds

From field and garden.

In addition to the natural focus on Sri Lanka’s overwhelming world of spices, every now and then you will also encounter the influence of our European and Austrian roots. For example, we brought our very own jam recipes with us from Austria, which also happen to work very well with Sinhalese fruits. And our kitchen team has also learned to make a selection of pastries that taste just like what Grandma Hollmann used to whip up.

So, whether the mangoes from our own fruit stand, the morning “egg in a glass” with a hint of Sinhalese at the restaurant, or chicken curry enjoyed out on the terrace in the evening, we are certain to find something perfect for your palate.

Our Cooking Course

A feast for the eyes

Let’s not forget the ambience in which the Hollmanns serve up these astonishing flavors: With open views of the ocean, the constantly changing play of light that depends on the time of day, and the music struck up by the wind in the palm trees in combination with the murmur of the surf, every meal is bound to be unique …

Long tables beneath a shared roof or individual tables on the terrace out front are available for your dining pleasure in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening.

Vegetarian. Vegan.

Meatlessly full of flavor.

Vegetarian and vegan dishes on our menus:

are a matter of course for an establishment that is particularly proud of its professional Ayurveda expertise. The rich tradition of Asia in the preparation of meatless dishes further enhances our kitchen team’s culinary skill in bringing extraordinary dishes to the plate that taste quite astonishing. Whether fish or meat happens to be there, or not.

Just as we give guests the opportunity to book a stay that includes vegetarian or vegan dining appropriate to every treatment program, we also pay close attention to the needs of persons with certain food intolerances. After all, the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach – and we would be delighted, naturally, if you would fall in love with UTMT.

When enjoyment shimmers in a glass....

Bar, Cocktails

There is no better way to cap off a good day then with a good drink. As well as a good chat with your travel companions or new acquaintances. Punctuated by the occasional chinking together of glasses, this is the perfect opportunity to swap memories and experiences of the day.

After sunset, some guests will treat themselves to a shot of the “hard stuff”, such as an old arrack, whereas others might opt to have a bottle from our excellent wine collection in the cellar decanted for them. And because the island is not exactly renowned for its world-class vintages, we ensure that our cellar is always stocked, just in case, with finest wines from Lower Austria.

On the other hand, aromatic cocktails, imaginative compositions of fruits and juices, make it quite easy to forgo alcohol completely. Either just because, or because you owe it to your Ayurveda treatment program. And let’s face it, you can even relax and mellow out after a full day in the UTMT bar over a simple glass of water if you prefer.

To life!
