The all new 'Latitude'

by Prasad Abu Bakr

Taj Samudra Colombo which has always changed to keep up with the elegant turn arounds in the hospitality industry did it again recently when under the command of its new General Manager, Saurabh Ratan completed the last leg and opened its all day dining restaurant 'Latitude'

Its timber flooring and wooden furniture stands as an inviting attraction to the venue which is high lighted by a refreshing and vibrant colour palette selected to entertain any tired visitor seeking to have a meal within its enclosure. The unique ambience, which is a result of many fine details is in fact, highlighted by the mix of orange, deep red and green which adds loads of freshness to the already chic interior.

'Chic' is the word that comes to one's mind as one makes one's entrance through the mock wine cellar designed as a special feature representing the trends of the times. But all these details are not at all an excuse to coverup for any short comings of the culinary experience one will always expect of any restaurant and at 'Latitude' there aren't any.

What one finds in this place is a perfect combination of cuisine one can describe as international by all means.

Greek, Australian, Moroccon, Indian, French, Spanish and Sri Lankan by all means!, the variety of food cultures one can travel through while one glances at the menu that's served.

So! when you decide to dine at the 'Latitude' you are given a wide choice of which dish from which country you want to dip into at different times you visit the restaurant. Which in fact makes one want to visit the place more than just once.

The desserts, beverages and wines can all stand as complimentary entries to the choice of your main dish.
