Authentic Food Tours & Culinary Experiences

Sri Lanka is a land of bold flavours, fragrant spices, and rich culinary traditions where food is deeply rooted in daily life. From sizzling Sri Lankan street food like Kottu to fragrant curries slow-cooked in clay pots, every meal here is a celebration of Sri Lankan cuisine – filled with culture, connection, and stories passed through generations.

As you journey across the island, you will taste the way food changes with the landscape. Along the southern coast, discover seafood-heavy dishes rich in coconut. In the north, fiery flavours come alive through Jaffna crab curry and Tamil cooking traditions. The hill country offers milder, earthy tastes influenced by estate life, while the eastern coast blends spices and techniques from many cultures, creating unique and layered culinary experiences.

Every region in Sri Lanka offers signature dishes and styles, from String Hoppers at sunrise to Rice & Curry for lunch and Kottu at dinner. Each bite gives you a true sense of place.

Island Legacy’s food tours are created for travellers who want to explore Sri Lanka through its kitchens, markets, and local homes. Join local chefs in hands-on cooking classes, visit bustling spice markets, enjoy farm-to-table meals overlooking rice fields, and savour heritage recipes under banana leaves.

And of course – expect plenty of tropical fruit, sweet treats, and world-renowned Ceylon tea.

Come hungry – and leave full of flavour, stories, and maybe even a few cherished family recipes.
