O U R S T O R Y
CITRA (art in Sinhala) is a pastoral dream that we began to embroider anywhere in the world we visited. A dream made up of tastes, sounds, smells and most of all experiences of recreation, inspiration and love for everything that does us good. We brought all this inspiration into an authentic village in the south coast of Sri Lanka.
On a land full of palm trees nearby the beach, A historical 40 years-old colonial house has been converted to a super modern restaurant which speaks the language of the ocean. Into this we put in an atmosphere of entertainment and joy of life.
CITRA offers a classic European kitchen with Mediterranean influences, using top and local notch seasonal ingredients.
