They celebrated this achievement on Wednesday (20) in a night consisting of their signature cocktails and canapes with the pioneers of Park Street Mews and members of the media. “It has been an exciting journey bringing this unique, relaxing Asian fusion restaurant concept to the city. The success of the restaurant is attributed to the loyal guests and to my staff that have continuously supported me right through,” Harpo’s Hotels, Cafes, and Restaurants Founder/CEO Harpo Gooneratne said, speaking at the event. “We continue to offer great food, quality service, and a welcome atmosphere for all to enjoy, while we stay positive during these challenging times. We look forward to serving you all for years to come,” he added. In 2013, the restaurant was refurbished to include the now popular Curve Tapas Bar and Restaurant, established as the go-to place for live music and great cocktails, and for introducing tapas culture in Colombo. Entertainment highlights at the bar featured Proteus from Hong Kong and Natalya from Toronto, along with well-known local talent featured regularly. Park Street Mews offers delightful fusion cuisine, with its own range of delicious homemade ice cream, premium liquor, fine wines, local and imported beer, and fresh juices, reflecting great hospitality to engage those who share the same passion. The menu presents a selection of Asian fusion dishes, chef’s specials, and weekly deals crafted and served to satisfaction. Its unique culinary offerings, consistent quality, warm service, and stellar ambiance have kept customers coming back for the past many years. The resident chefs, who are an integral part of the restaurant’s journey, set the trend with exciting cuisine, and guest chef appearances, such as the dinner event curated by Kumar Pereira of MasterChef Australia and MasterChef Australia All Stars, added variety that was enjoyed by all. Some of the popular entertainment and promotional events co-ordinated by Park street Mews Restaurant are Beatlemania, Ghalib Ghallab jazz trio from Las Vegas, monthly soul funk DJ events, and lit talks and book signing events by well-known authors as part of the Galle Literary Festival. “Park Street Restaurant is an old warehouse – a funky environment that had never been done before. Twelve years ago, we were the only restaurant in the area; over the years, the whole place has evolved and has earned a name as the place to be at,” Gooneratne shared his thoughts on this commemorative day, speaking to The Morning Brunch. He added that Park Street has been the pioneer for many events in bringing about foreign entertainment, lit festivals, and many more. Speaking about their extensive menus, he shared that Park Street Mews Restaurant was the first to introduce homemade ice cream to the country, adding that all restaurants have many skilled chefs that whip up the finest dishes for their customers. “We were the first movers and shakers to take the bold step and start up something of this nature. I’m happy that my staff has been with me for over 10 years; we’ve been through the April bombings to two waves of Covid – we have seen it all. Without them, this wouldn't have been possible. I'm grateful to them and to their families for the late nights we've done to keep this place alive and happening,” he shared proudly.   Photos by Eshan Dasanayaka
