Feisty Latin flavours at Cinnamon Lakeside’s Sunday barbecue

Sunday afternoons are often equated with a storybook laidback lunch outdoors with the family, however few venues in Colombo sell a compelling tale.  With 7° North, Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo is blessed with the location.  The exceptional food and service at the Latin Barbecue complete the story.  

Every Sunday afternoon, the hotel transforms the popular bar into a dining venue to accommodate diners at the Latin Barbecue.  Guests are seated under oversized umbrellas on the deck where they can take in the ambience besides the lake and the pool.  

The barbecue is unlike any other.  A Latin theme prevails creating an explosive combination of flavours.  The Jamaican jerk chicken, burger with Chimichurri sauce made with chopped oregano, garlic, olive oil vinegar and red pepper flakes and the Caribbean grilled meats are particular favourites.  Packed with delicious flavours the grilled chicken, fish and lamb are accompanied by fresh tomato salsa, adding a splash of Latin flavor to the barbecue.

The food is prepared before the diners, allowing the aroma of the slow grilled meats to waft through the air.  The hotel chefs have cooked up a series of Creole sauces made with tomatoes, celery, bell peppers, onions, herbs and seasoning to add punch to the dishes.  These are just some amongst the wide range of exotic dishes available at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo’s Latin Barbecue Lunch.

A Sunday lunch would be incomplete without a chilled beverage to wash it down.  The Latin Barbecue Lunch at 7° North includes lagers, coolers and fresh mixology shooters, perfect for a summer afternoon.
