If you’re a fan of the iconic TV show Friends or simply looking for a unique dining experience in Colombo, Sri Lanka, The Central Perk Bistro is a must-visit destination. Inspired by the famous Central Perk café from the show, this bistro combines nostalgia with some great coffee and threats, making it a perfect spot for locals and tourists. Their motto The F.R.I.E.N.D.LIEST hangout spot in Colombo!
As we were strolling along the beach on Marine Drive, we stumbled upon this location purely by chance.

The walls are adorned with Friends iconic quotes and a large wall with Friends characters.
The Central Perk Bistro offers a diverse menu that caters to a variety of tastes, from classic comfort food to modern gourmet dishes.
