Situated conveniently behind the Bentota railway station, its accessibility adds to its charm for both locals and travelers alike. The highlight undoubtedly lies in the remarkable freshness of the seafood, from succulent shrimp to perfectly grilled fish, each bite a testament to the chef's dedication to quality. Enhancing the ambiance, soothing music fills the air, creating a serene environment for indulging in the diverse selection from the well-stocked wine cellar. Completing the experience, chilled beers provide a refreshing accompaniment to the exquisite seafood fare. Esprit Seafood Restaurant and Bar exceeded expectations, leaving me eager to return for another memorable culinary journey in Bentota.

Absolutely loved dining at Esprit seafood restaurant. The food was delicious. One of the very few places i found true lankan Flavours. Hats off to the chef. U need to try out the Crab curry and roast pan 👌🏾
The service was great. Friendly staff with a great attitude and sense of humour.
Nothing beats having fresh seafood with the sea breeze and beautiful calypso band playing live music. Ask the team and they'll organise it.
Overall 10 out of 10. If you are in Bentota, you've got to get your hands on some of their food.
Keep up the great work team esprit 👏

Esprit Seafood Restaurant and Bar, a stones throw away from Bentota railway station, delivers a fantastic dining experience that won't break the bank. The seafood is fresh, from tasty prawns to perfectly grilled fish. The laid-back atmosphere, accompanied by great music and an impressive wine collection, creates the perfect setting for an unforgettable meal. And don't forget the ice-cold beers to top it off! Esprit is a must-visit for tasty eats at fair dinkum prices in Bentota. Will be back.
