Signature Dining Experiences, Curated by the Hills
At The Blackberry Retreat, Signature Dining is more than a meal — it’s an experience designed to elevate every moment. Surrounded by the serenity of Kandy’s lush hills, each setting invites you to slow down, savor deeply, and celebrate the connection between nature, flavor, and togetherness.
Whether it's a garden BBQ under the stars, a warm campfire dinner, or a romantic candlelight meal, every dish is crafted with intention — using handpicked ingredients, many from our own garden, and prepared with traditional techniques and modern elegance.
Step into a world where every dining moment feels personal, private, and profoundly memorable.
