Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo introduces German spread at The Dining Room

German cuisine is known for hearty, flavourful dishes featuring luxurious meats, savoury sausages, and rich desserts. 

Its appeal lies in the balance of bold, comforting flavours and simple, high-quality ingredients. For diners in Sri Lanka, authentic German food is a rare find, and Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo brings the soul of Bavaria, Berlin, and beyond to Colombo. This October, we’re thrilled to invite you to The Dining Room every Thursday where our German inspired theme night buffet channels the rich, hearty flavours of Germany in ways that will make guests return for more. 

Kicked off on 3 October, this curated spread celebrates Germany’s finest comfort food. From the classic golden, crisp Chicken Schnitzel with its juicy centre to Brathering — German pickled herring perfectly balancing tartness and savoury crunch – our special menu features traditional sides and other German treats. One of the showstoppers is our German Potato Dumplings, Kartoffelklöße — fluffy pillows soaked in rich sauce and flavour – a testament to the very essence of comfort food.

Another standout is the renowned German Pretzel, perfectly salted to be irresistibly moreish and the ideal companion to our selection of German meats and sausages. For heartier fare, our Braised Pork Knuckle takes centre stage — slow-cooked to perfection, offering a rich, robust flavour that lingers long after the meal. To elevate this culinary journey, indulge in our selection of authentic German sausages, from Bratwurst to Bockwurst, and the delicate, peppery Bierschinken — all perfectly paired with tangy mustards and crunchy pickles to balance richness.

Dessert lovers can enjoy Bavarian Cream Doughnuts or a slice of luxurious Black Forest Cake to end the night on a sweet note. 

At LKR 7,500 NETT per person, this isn’t just a buffet — it’s a tribute to the recipes and culinary traditions that have shaped German cuisine for centuries. Whether you’re a devoted fan of German fare or a curious diner looking to explore, our German inspired theme night buffet will transport you to the heart of one of Europe’s most revered culinary giants.
