Galle Face and the Magical Guitarist

I had dinner at the ‘Varendah’ during my brief visit to Sri Lanka last Sunday, and thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and the vibe here. The food was amazing and the service was exceptional. The view was breathtaking, and to top it all the guitarist - Shaman kept the night alive with his magical guitar melodies. I was mesmerized by the music and the whole set up. Would highly recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat! It’s definitely on top of my list for my next visit.
