The Southern High Tea at Charleston is an afternoon done properly.

Three tiers, a pot of tea, and a terrace overlooking the ramparts, all yours with 24 hours notice.

Book ahead, slow down, let the Fort do the rest.

A good afternoon at Charlie’s looks something like this.

Cocktails, something to nibble on, a chess board if the mood strikes, and absolutely nowhere to be.

Inside or on the terrace, the choice is yours.

Every evening, without fail, the ‘isso vade’ cart takes its place.

A little light in the dark, a familiar smell on the breeze, a snack that needs no introduction in this country.

Come find your table.

Behind the Fort walls, there are hands still doing the old work. Janaka carves and paints the stories this land has always told, masks born from the Ambalangoda tradition, kept alive one brushstroke at a time.

His studio is inside the Fort. His craft is worth finding.

There’s a craft to the perfect sundowner.

At it starts at the bar and ends somewhere between the second cocktail and a view you won’t forget 🌅✨

We look forward to seeing you on the terrace!

Poya is a sacred pause 🙏✨ a day observed across the island each month, marked by reflection, worship, and a quieter kind of rhythm.

The kind of Sunday where lunch stretches into the afternoon and nobody minds.

Local ingredients, a terrace overlooking the ramparts, and doing what he does best.
