Every stone has a story.

Over the past 6½ years, this place has slowly grown into what it is today. It wasn't bought from a catalogue or built by a large company.

Every table.
Every lamp.
Every light.
Every roof.
Every pond.
Every pathway.
Every corner.

Everything was designed here by Aruna and built together with talented local craftsmen from our village.

Nothing happened overnight.

Piece by piece, idea by idea, this garden became more than a garden. It became a place with its own character. A place full of atmosphere. A place where people slow down, breathe deeply, forget the time and simply enjoy being exactly who they are.

Whether you come for dinner, a holiday, a quiet morning by the pool or just a drink in the garden, we hope you feel what we have tried to create—not cold luxury, but warmth. Not perfection, but soul.

Welcome to our little paradise in paradise.

More than dinner.
More than a stay.
More than a destination.**

We love reviews. Thank you for the last ones.

A true hidden gem in Bentota!

7 Tables is so much more than a restaurant—it’s a complete dining experience. The setting is absolutely unique, with only a few tables nestled in a beautifully designed tropical garden. Every corner reflects love, passion, and incredible attention to detail, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere unlike anywhere else.

The food was excellent. Every dish was beautifully presented, made with fresh ingredients, and full of flavour. You can really feel the chef’s passion in every course.

The hospitality was equally exceptional, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived until the end of the evening.

If you’re visiting Bentota, this place is an absolute must. It’s one of those rare restaurants you’ll remember long after your holiday has ended. Highly recommended!

This video was filmed in 2018.

An old house.

An overgrown piece of land.

And a great deal of imagination.

When I watch these images today, I often wonder how many people would have seen nothing more than weeds, hard work and a neglected building.

Aruna had already owned the land for more than 30 years at that time.

Even after moving to Germany, the idea never really left him.

For years he collected inspiration.

Pinterest boards.

Ideas.

Tools.

Tiles.

Sinks.

Fabrics.

Things that probably looked like clutter to everyone else in his basement.

For him, they already belonged to a place that did not yet exist.

When the time finally came, everything was packed into a shipping container in Hamburg and sent to Sri Lanka.

The original plan was simple:

Spend six months building something here.

Return to Germany.

And divide life between two countries.

Then came COVID.

The rest of the story, at least in parts, many of you already know.

What fascinates me most about this video is that none of what exists today can be seen yet.

No pool.

No restaurant.

No guests.

No Red Coconut.

No 7 Tables.

And yet, in a way, it was all already there.

Not on the land.

But in the mind of someone who had spent years collecting ideas, making plans and quietly dreaming.

Perhaps everything in life has its own timing.

Its own pace.

And sometimes progress is not about moving faster.

Sometimes it is about being patient enough to wait until the time is right.

In the next post, I'll show the exact same view again.

Just a few years later.

Not built overnight.

Still growing.

More than dinner.

Six and a half years ago, I arrived in Sri Lanka with two suitcases.
I had no idea it would become a restaurant, a boutique villa, and an entirely different life.

What started as a shared dream slowly became a place filled with stories, friendships, laughter and memories.

Many guests first meet Aruna.
The chef.
The host.
The person behind 7 Tables.

What they don't always see are the years behind it.
The building.
The planning.
The setbacks.
The risks.

And the thousands of small decisions that turned an idea into a place.
Today, I am grateful for every guest who has become part of this story.

And when I sit here, looking around, and think:
It was worth every single hour.

"A restaurant of this kind would stand out even in a major European city."

We are a tiny restaurant with only seven tables in Bentota, Sri Lanka.

No investors.
No marketing agency.
No shortcuts.

Just a chef, a small team and a lot of passion for hospitality.
Thank you for seeing what we try to create every evening.
