It's a very cool restaurant. We came here to eat several times, it was always delicious and not expensive. The portions are large, we ordered 1 course with my husband for two, salad and rice with seafood, fruit with ice cream and freshly squeezed juice. Everything is great! I recommend it!
The restaurant is quite large, there are bathrooms, landing on two floors, the breeze blows well from above. The menu is small, we tried curry from the local, chop suey - I liked it, it was very satisfying. The service is unobtrusive, the locals came to celebrate the New year in the cafe.
I wouldn't have come here specifically from Hikkaduwa, but if you were nearby, why not.
Red Octopus is a great place to eat. Delicious, large portions (especially rice), not expensive (for that location).
You can leave your autographs on the walls and ceiling. It's also fun to read other people's books
