Cloudstreet The Cheek Bistro Chef's Modern Sri Lankan Counter Restaurant

You may have heard of Chef Rishi Naleendra and his restaurant Cheek Bistro (formerly Cheek by Jowl), but have you been to his latest venture? At Cloudstreet, the centerpiece of the restaurant is the U-shaped counter where you can watch all the action in the open kitchen. Sri Lankan food is in the spotlight, and meal highlights included the charred venison with pickled cashew, umeboshi, and zucchini, as well as the local stout and licorice bread which was glazed with molasses, and served with whipped butter. One of our favorite meals from our most recent trip!
