Our name reflects the powerful connection between the unequalled collection of ingredients in our country that is at the heart of our restaurant and exceptional skill of our culinary teams to capture the true essence of nature’s textures and tastes.
Rare Bar + Kitchen builds on the award-winning approach developed by all UGA Escapes properties since 2012. For our Chefs and their teams, instinct, insight and invention are what matters. While many of the ingredients for Rare Bar + Kitchen come directly from our own organic farms on the East Coast and in the Cultural Triangle, others are sourced from carefully chosen suppliers across Sri Lanka. What they all have in common is a commitment to supplying ingredients in their prime, giving us the freedom to create food that’s inventive, exciting and spontaneous – and exclusive.
These exceptional ingredients are combined with sensitivity, wit and ingenuity, often revealing unexpected new dimensions. We take a unique approach to fine food and drink at Rare Bar + Kitchen, one in which continental cuisine is happily blended with local ingredients to offer a contemporary and imaginative preparation and presentation. At rare, flavour is king, and change is a cherished constant. Our menu is regularly reimagined, and as each new ingredient arrives, the culinary team accepts the challenge and explores the opportunities with trademark creativity and technical skill.
