Lantern-Lit Seafood on Mirissa Beach
Lava Mirissa is a beachfront seafood restaurant and bar set directly on the sands of Mirissa Beach, known for fresh catch, sunset views and lantern-lit evenings. Seafood leads the experience, with red snapper, prawns, tuna and seafood platters among the frequently recommended choices, alongside pasta, Sri Lankan dishes and vegetarian options. As the sun goes down, live guitar, glowing lanterns and tables in the sand turn it into a lively coastal dinner spot.
