The Barefoot cafe is a nice place to spend a few hours in Colombo. You have the option of nice restaurants in a garden setting and a little shopping area that is exclusive to Sri Lanka. You can fine some interesting handicrafts and fabric however it may seem much more pricier than anything you can find around Colombo. It is mainly catered to foreigners and hence their quality is ensured. Good place to catch up with friends or if we want to kill time waiting for someone. If your lucky you may get a bit of the Jazz music around playing in the cafes and restaurants.
