Why Saturday Nights at Cafe One Love are a Must

There's something truly magical about Arugam Bay on a Saturday evening. The golden hour fades into a canopy of stars, the ocean whispers a constant rhythm, and the air is filled with a sense of relaxed excitement. At Cafe One Love, we harness this unique energy to create an experience that's both vibrant and utterly serene. Whether you're unwinding after a day of surfing, celebrating with friends, or simply seeking a beautiful spot to enjoy a meal, our Saturday nights are designed to deliver.

From Fresh Catches to Flavourful Bites

While Arugam Bay is famous for its waves, Cafe One Love is quickly becoming renowned for its culinary offerings. Our kitchen is dedicated to serving up fresh, high-quality dishes that tantalize the taste buds. While our menu offers a diverse range of options, for a truly iconic Saturday night experience, we highly recommend diving into our Seafood Platter.

Imagine this: a generous selection of the day's freshest catch – think succulent fish and plump prawns – all expertly marinated with our secret blend of spices and grilled to perfection. Each bite is a testament to the ocean's bounty, delivering a burst of flavour that's both wholesome and incredibly satisfying. Served with an array of complementary dips, this platter is designed for sharing, making it the perfect centrepiece for a lively dinner conversation with your companions. It's not just a meal; it's a taste of the Arugam Bay coastline, prepared with passion and served with a smile.

Beyond the main courses, we also offer a selection of delightful "Bites" perfect for sharing or as a prelude to your meal:

• Potato Wedges: Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, these classic wedges are always a crowd-pleaser.
• Bruschetta: Freshly toasted crispy bread topped with a vibrant mix of cut tomatoes, onions, garlic, and a drizzle of rich olive oil – a burst of Mediterranean freshness.
• Battered Prawns: Crispy, golden-fried prawns served with a tangy cocktail sauce – an irresistible coastal treat.

These bites are the ideal companion to a refreshing cocktail as you ease into your evening.
